And then there were two...

I have a pair of socks! My first totally selfish act of knitting is complete! Yes, I know they don't so much match...but I love them anyway. And I have more than enough to make a pair for Grace (in fact I may almost have enough to make another pair for myself...I don't like high socks, so these are pretty much ankle height). Aren't they fabulous?!


I have to tell you about this wonderful act of kindness I was the recipient of today. As a lot of you know it has been freakin raining most of the past week, today especially. I was leaving HFX Shopping Centre with Grace, who was in her stroller covered by the weather shield (or "baby greenhouse" as I call it) and blissfully dry. I however, with my totally useless raincoat was soaked. I heard someone coming up behind me calling "Excuse me!", I turned around expecting this woman to have a sippy cup or toy that Grace ejected from the stroller...and she is handing me her umbrella. She says "Please take my umbrella, you're getting soaked." Here was this lovely dressed woman, her hair all in place, offering me her umbrella. I was so shocked I couldn't speak right away. I thanked her, but declined the umbrella, since with the wind and the stroller I would not have been able to use the umbrella very well. I did however, feel a lot warmer after the encounter. I guess there are kind strangers out there after all.
