Close, yet so far

By Holly | June 27, 2007

Al.most.done. I discovered that I don’t like two socks on two circs at all and that is what has been slowing me down. I put each sock on one circ, a la magic loop, and I am moving right along. Soon my Grasshoppers will be done, grasshoppah, and I will be able to move on to June’s RSC kit which is lovely. Bright orange and bright pinks. Right up my alley. Gotta get some pictures up.

Here’s a weird thing. I am from Michigan. A small town named Saginaw. Farms and factories. My mom moved us to Georgia in 1982 and we’ve been here ever since. All of our family is still up there, mostly. After the move we didn’t see them so much and aren’t close at all. Now mom has three half brothers, on of whom recently passed. Well, his daughter called mom and said she was coming down and would be staying with friends in my neighborhood. That in itself is weird enough. My neighborhood is big, but not that big and besides, Atlanta is a big place. Anyway, she tells the street name where she’ll be staying and I was like “that has to be The Girl’s teacher, from this year.” Back in the middle of the school year The Girl wore a Saginaw Valley State University sweatshirt and her teacher commented that she lived near there when she was younger. So, sure enough, my cousin is staying with the teacher just around the block and again there is another lesson in just how small the world can be. Strange, huh?
