The Unusual Grooming Habits of Knitters

It has come to my attention that some of my knitting buddies are buying their personal hygiene products at the hardware store. Anti Monkey Butt powder seems to be quite popular as a moisture reducer. Yes, these ladies are using the same thing truckers rub on their bums, to unstick their boobs.

What's next? Buying unmentionables at the tractor supplies store?

Supperclub in San Fransisco

At this restaurant, you will handcuffed to the wall for behaving badly or not tipping well. So, if your boyfriend is a cheap loudmouth, you may want to drive yourself lest you be left to walk home while your date is shackled to the wall.

A Plethora of Finished Knitting Projects

Just showing off completed craft projects:





An afghan knitted with Feza Super Cozy yarn in a wave pattern. Below, hand stamped bookmarkers, a knitted and beaded purse knitted on size 000 needles, and a sampling of some of the scarves that I have knitted as presents and to sell.

Mandarin Orange Float with Sacs

This was found in the Asian market and purchased entirely because I loved the name. Tastes like that popular brand name orange drink, but with "sacs" floating in it. Sacs, of course, mean pulp.

Scenes from the Winnie the Pooh Garden

A friend and I took her three year old daughter to the Winnie-the-Pooh Garden in Columbia South Carolina. It is unique because it is a garden geared towards preschoolers. There is a kid sized house, touchable plants, things to climb on, and a sand box. And, if the kids get out of hand, there is a lake with man-eating alligators a short distance away (see last photo).

The United Nations in the Supermarket

As the cultural food choices expand in my city, my reasons to drive to the ethnic markets in Atlanta shrink. Oh, I will still find a reason, but the new Publix Supermarket in Hixson Tennessee has provided a surprisingly wide range of international food options. Some of my finds:




Prepared Indian meal mixes



Cuban/Latin food in the freezer



Jamaican canned fruits and vegetables.



English canned goods. (Do Mushy Peas sound non-appealing to anyone else or is it just me?)



Indian spices.
