The Free Range Socks are coming along. One is done and I've made a start on the second one. I decided not to try to match the striping, so I cast on with the yarn as it came off the ball.
I caught Charlie's cold and have had it for a week. I didn't get much done, because the cold left me very sleepy, and I wasn't able to sleep well at night, because my nose was stopped up. I'm getting over it now, though.
Tuesday we had a Madroña Vineyards pop-up meeting. One of the topics of conversation was what kind of holiday dishes were traditional to our families, especially dishes that not everyone likes.
I didn't do much besides lie around all week, trying to rest up and get well. Yesterday we drove to Beaverton. Charlie has an appointment today with a neurologist to see if he can have a procedure that might help with his tremors. We're staying with the kids through Thanksgiving.
For some cuteness, here are two of our grandkitties, Mango and Olive.
I have a lot of difficulty responding to comments to my blog posts because of technical issues beyond my control (my lack of understanding of how things work). Message me on Facebook, Ravelry, BlueSky or Spoutible if you need information.
If you have a few minutes and are willing, please go to Amazon or B&N and search for Billy: Stories from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart". Every click on the page for the book makes it more likely they will keep a good supply in their warehouse and stores. If you are outside the US, you may have a separate website for these retailers. If you have a copy of any of our books, including Emil, Mariah, Classic Tales Retold, Our Favorite Verses, More Classic Tales Retold or Billy: Stories from The Doll's Storybook, please leave an honest review on the websites, especially if you bought from them.

What's on my iPhone: Still listening to Nobody's Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the AudiobooksNow app.
What's on my sewing machine: Put away.
What's in The Doll's Storybook: This week's story from The Doll's Storybook is Saying It Right. A classmate of Billy's and Emil's has a speech problem and is getting picked on at school. The boys want to help, but they are also interested in why their friend talks the way he does.
What's my tip of the week: XX
Where are my books: The stories in each book first appeared in the blog, and they are reproduced in print with a few changes.
If you don't get free shipping from Amazon or B&N, buy from the BookBabyBookshop, because 50% of the price goes to St. Jude. Other booksellers pay much less, only 8%, because the vendor gets a cut. My author's page at Book Baby is here. Scroll down and click on any of the books that interest you. Find my books at Barbara's Bookstore as well, or ask your local library to order the books.
