Power for Good

img_2281  Here’s a look at my birthday sky today. The weather could not have been nicer. About 60 degrees, sunny, clear sky . . . just perfect.

img_2296_1  As we usually do, Mom and I went to the Mall at Short Hills for the morning, although we didn’t move through the mall with our usual speed. (Still recuperating from those colds, you know.) But I bought myself this really lovely hat. It’s a gorgeous chocolate brown, which looks great with my hair, with a perfect brim for keeping the sun out of my eyes, while at the same time, not being so huge I shouldn’t be able to wear it in the car. (Headrests and hats just don’t get along.)

What’s that? The hat rack?

img_2283  All I can say is that you knit-bloggers had better only ever use your power for good, and not evil. Because look what came today! My mail carrier made a special effort to go looking for it at the post office, and got permission from her boss to take it since I’m on her route. (It was addressed to my office, you’ll remember.)

img_2288_1  Here it is, getting to know my other wheels.

img_2297  Really, though, I think it looks just adorable with the hat . . .

img_2286  I almost forgot–I got a card and this cute sheep bookmark and memory-saving post-its from Lisa at Knitting by the Sea. Wasn’t that nice of her?
