WOW! You sure know how to make a girl feel special, don't you! I figure it's one of two things.
1. You either like me
or
2. You LOVE the offer of free Judy's yarn. Who wouldn't really?
Be sure to go back and take the poll about the virtual book club. I'm going to think about the wheres, whats and whys and let you know what I come up with.
How do I adequately thank all of you who have made this blog part of my life. I appreciate you coming back here everyday and reading my thoughts. I appreciate you laughing with me and even crying with me, giving out hugs or lifting me when I need support.
We've had some times, haven't we?

OKAY, then. I have a story about coincidence for you. And first I ask you this: When is something just a coincidence and when does it mean SOMETHING? The world may never know, of course.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to get comments from new to me people. I love it when people climb out of the woodwork. But one in particular. You see, I had just said to Bethany, "Your hair is so long right now!" and she said "I am going to grow it until it is Mermaid hair"
Or something like that. Mermaid hair? I had to have her explain it to me. You know when a mermaid comes out of the sea, her hair falls to the front of her body and covers her...well, you know, chest area. Cute, I think, while clicking to the next message to read. It is from someone named Tee, whose blog name is Mermaid Rock. Now, I never in the course of casual conversation talk about Mermaids. Not since the kids were little and we used to live for the Little Mermaid anyway. It has been years since thinking the word Mermaid. And yet, here it is twice in one minute. Weird. WEIRD. What does it mean? We chuckle a bit, nervously like we may be missing a sign, Bethany and I. And then? I go to Nina's blog to see her daily blog entry (she is one of the crazy's too, but you did not hear it from me) and she links to a person with a funny cat story. Which blog was the link going to? You guessed it! Mermaid Rock.
Okay. Now? I'm just getting goosebumps. WHAT DOES IT MEAN??
I know I'm missing out on some kind of Mermaid message.

Not a mermaid:

It looks like a mitten but is actually an Estonian Hand Puppet from Spin Off Summer 2006! I needed a bit of a break from the Flyingdales knitting. A small break, not a hibernation. Sometimes you just need to knit something cute.
But to reiterate: a sheep puppet is NOT a mermaid. Not now. Not ever.

P.S. Thank you, again! So many comments!
