A Rainy Monday Afternoon

1-I'm giving some away, (Lets just say) do you want 

Homemade pickles or homemade salsa?

It would depend on what type pickles and how spicy the salsa.

2-

Should I pack my knitting all in one box or spread it around in the event  a box goes  missing?

Spread it around.  Not out of fear that it will be lost, but because of the prolonged fun you'll have when you unpack.

3-

Best yarn sale this summer? 

Share the savings!

I've stayed away from yarn sales lately;  sorry I can't help.

4-

I'm running out of underwear. 

So less to pack. 

Should I buy in a month?

Just wash what I have for a few weeks? 

It's clean for goodness sake, I'm just running out

Wash.  Dull, but, more yarn money!

5- 

Give me your best no cook summer dinner. 

I can't come up with an entire meal that doesn't involve some cooking, but I will say that sliced cucumbers and sliced onions in a mixture (to taste) of vinegar and water, then chilled in the refrigerator is very summery crisp and cool.

6.

I'm drinking coffee from the dear Fred Rodgers Mug. 

Fred says,

"You can never go down the drain" 

What is your favorite Fred saying?

"I'm proud of you."

7. 

Al's knitting with Quince and Co linen. 

Apparently linen shrinks, but stretches back. 

What's been your experience?

I've only knit with linen blends, so, again, I'm of no help.  With regard to off-the-rack clothes, however, I avoid linen altogether.  I hate the wrinkles.

8.

I think I may make a silver and gold Christmas stocking.

Would this be weird? 

Not at all!  It sounds lovely.

9. 

What network do you use for a new cable company.

We liked Wide Open West, or WOW.

They don't service in Wisconsin.

Thoughts?

Sorry. . .  No.

10.

The cicadas have started singing their summer song. 

I like this sound.

What summer sounds do you like?

I like the crows, and ravens, conversing about the figs on our fig tree.  The air conditioner coming on is always a welcome sound.
