Thanksgiving is a wrap! The house was bustling with extra people, children, and a dog. Our Thanksgiving meal over the last thirty years rarely changes such that it can practically cook itself. However, I still made a mess in the kitchen, cleaned it up, then made a mess again for three days running. In between messes, I had some wonderful time with Claire over morning coffees and bedtime snacks. A few weeks ago, Claire bid and won an auction that included a bonanza of cross stitching supplies. She brought a bin of it with her so I could go through it and choose some supplies for myself. I was astounded at the quantity of linen and floss. She had over one hundred skeins of silk floss alone, not to mention four gallon-sized bags of hand dyed floss! There were yards and yards of linen in all colors and counts. It really was a dream. Most of it will be resold but I was appreciative at being given first dibs on some linen and floss.
