  1. El used to cat's cradle so much at that age. Her yarn got all mangled and discolored and disgusting. She kept it in her pocket for weeks.

    So glad you are getting out and spring is winning!

  6. I think I might have been the only person in existence who can't do a cat's cradle. I guess I'll have to find something else to do with the redhead on rainy days.

  8. Anybody over there up for a little canasta? I have one deck. If you have another, we can play! BTW, Tracy: On my recent road trip with College Girl, I went to The Old Fashioned in Madison, WI. Had their Beer Cheese soup. So delish, but not as good as yours! :)
