No, I didn’t lose weight. That’s about how much the box I shipped off to Zeilingers this morning weighed. Here are a couple of teaser shots of some of the mohair:

It’s nice to be done with washing [...]

Mommies don’t like to walk outside and see this:
We don’t care how brave and clever you think you are.
And I can guarantee this- when Grandma sees this, she’s gonna have a cow!

I think that will always be my favorite picture of them. Last year I told you about AIDS taking my brother Eric, and his partner Jeff.
For some reason today is harder this year than last. I guess mourning someone is like that. It comes and goes- never forgotten, just sometimes harder.
