It was 31 this morning, and I lit a cheery fire in the little stove. Tending fires is Mike’s job, and he worried about my ability to cope, but I assured him that I really can start a fire. Now, if the pilot on the hot water heater were to go out – as it does from time to time – I’d be stuck, but even in that case, I remember how we coped “back in the day” by heating water on the stove.
Today I reorganized my quilting fabrics, making use of the Art Bin “double deep super satchels” that I bought yesterday. I almost panicked as I realized how my love of fat quarters and charm packs has morphed into a collection of dreams, but then I assured myself that it’s just my stash and it IS wonderful.
I’m not sure if these books are for Silas or his parents. I suspect they were tired of reading the same nursery rhymes from Volume 2. Perhaps they have yet to realize that children love repetition. But that’s okay because I’m glad to contribute to their education.
I
only had 9,000 steps yesterday, but today Bess and I had a longer afternoon
walk, plus I made many trips to the storage shed. I will finish this day with
11,000+ steps. KW

Oh, even with additions to Silas’ little library there will still be lots of repetition! I might be making this up, but he seems to like books with words. The ones for little babies that are just a word and a picture don’t hold his attention as well. Maybe he likes listening to our voices.
No, I don't think it's your imagination. When I was reading to babies, I also thought they preferred some words, and I do think they like to hear the voices with which they are familiar.
Did you get your zippers from Missouri Star? I've noticed them using them and they look like fun!
Yes, the zippers are from Missouri Star. I hope to learn to put zipper closures in doll clothes. I just have yet to take the time to experiment.
