Blue Ripple, I think is what I'll call this afghan. I've made good progress since the last picture. The variegated blue yarn section is a large section, as I have a lot of that yarn...though I don't like working with it, as it's course and hard on the hands. I hope it softens up when laundered. The section after the variegated is navy blue, which has not yet been used. I started with the variegated, then used light blue, then a medium blue, and then the large variegated section, followed by the navy. Then I think probably back to the variegated...we'll see how the amounts of the yarn work out.We had another dinner party for 6. We had pesto butschetta topped with diced tomatoes to go with our cocktails, broccoli, and heirloom potatoes seasoned with garlic and olive oil.And Chicken Marsala. Cocktails were Classic Manhattans.The Book of Lost Names.........Nominated as Best Historical Fiction in 2020. I LOVED this book. Nazi's tried hard to destroy many cultures, art, books, and libraries. They really wanted nothing none German to survive World War II. A secret code, and the hard work of forgers giving people new identies as they escaped The Nazi's makes for book hard to put down.While we all know about Helen Keller's blindness, and how she overcame the difficulties, I did not know how many other things she excelled in. This autobiography was quite an eye opener for me.tuesdays with Morrie, is at times uplifting and at times hard to read/listen to. This memoir written by Mitch Albom deals with life and death and unusual friendship between Mitch and his Sociology Professor. It also shows how impactful teaching can be. Highly recommend this book.Exercise will be down this month, as I had a nasty gastrointestinal bug for too many days, and we had more rain and more wind thus far this month. We'll just have to see how the month's stats shake out. Thank you all for your encouragement, it's always appreciated. I really wanted this month to be gang busters, but it will not be.
