Cracker Jacks

This is our house it looks so nice in the snow, naah just kidding. WE did get snow, but this is an oil painting I got at a resale shop for 30.00 I just love it, the color is so much better in person.
I think I am a reasonably intelligent person but holy cow I can not get my head around knitting. The circular needles are to long. I have done and redone and I am going to give up I think. Not as much fun as I thought it might be for me.

While pondering my knitting problem I am eating crackerjacks. When I was a kid I was in the money if I could buy a box of crackerjacks. I even remember how much, 9cents per box(this bag is 1.09)
and if I had a dime I had a penny left over for the gum machine. If I was really lucky I got a charm with my gum. I had a box of charms and prizes from crackerjacks. My friend and I would trade them and see who had the best stash.  
 After I got home I heard someone shoveling our walkway. It was a young man from the fire department, they have a list of who shovels for us.  The most amazing thing he had just come from getting a root canal! David and I very humbled and over whelmed with our community.( One of the other guys plows us out )
I would love for you to visit a new blogger! I met jody though an email she sent when we were still figuring out David's condition. She is a strong amazing woman tell her I said hi.
