Sitting on the Fence

 My sister and I were emailing about the movie "Gone with the Wind". We're both Missouri-born, a "Southern" state with Union sympathizers. Her last comment to me: "Well you might have problems deciding which side you supported. You had great grand fathers on each side and they both got to Arkansas and their kids married each other."

Peer Knitters

      Don't ask me to explain, but a cherished memory was the time I stood with a group at the National Hotel in Havana, Cuba. Jane was having trouble fitting her knitting into her luggage because she had finished the scarf, but it was still on the needles because she had forgotten how to bind off. While we waited for a bus to the airport I watched a woman named Selkirk from Winnipeg, Canada, take Jane's knitting in her hands and finish the bind off. You never know where you will find a peer knitter.
