Seafarer' Cap

 Cap for Brother

I made a cap for my brother. He is the one moving further north into colder country. Not that Payette isn't cold during the winter, but he will be where there is more snow, deeper and stays longer. I felt like he needed something to ward off the chill. Will make a scarf to match…or make another had and scarf to match. According to what yarn I can find after I move.




This is Linda. She has been a best friend for about 60 years. She was super super sick with RA when she passed away at a hospice in NM. She had been a teacher, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, as well as a friend, a sister and one of the loveliest people to have graced this planet. She would have turned 75 next Monday. God's speed, my friend.



I was watching a Norwegian detective show from 2005 and they walked past the computer with the Apple logo! Great advertising from 2005! Way ahead of us for sure. There was a box in the background, too, that had the logo. Later in the show there was a Coke type "ad" so I guess they started the trend.


Luckily my house in Texas sold in four days. It surprised me. One of the complaints I heard was some people didn't like the black screens on all the windows, but the buyers are from Las Vegas, NV, and are used to such things. They sure help to keep the heat down in the house!! 




Thought I would include a view of my craft room…had just about got it set up and then decided to sell the house. Will have to find another place in the new house.





I'll miss my next door neighbor. Such a sweetheart. But won't miss the heat and humidity. My water bill was horrendous! Not to mention the electric bill.  Lucky for me they had over billed me for seven months so I lived off the credit for the last three! 

I may be that there is no income tax, but all the other taxes are higher, and it seems they can raise them willy nilly when they want to. Plus water and electricity are another "at their whim" so all in all it is super costly to live here. I might have been able to withstand the heat and humidity, but not pay for all the rest.

Looking forward to moving into the Idaho home in October!
