God Bless Our Troops

We are winding down the last week of craft show season. In the past this last show has been our best. It is going to have to go some to beat Saturday's show. We were up about 32% from last year. It's been a very good season so far.

I have cut off the stocking sales for 2010. We can take orders for 3 more and that's pretty much it. There is just no way I am going to make myself crazy trying to knit 5 stockings a day between now and November 30. Since all of our bottoms are gone, each one has to be started from scratch. I will be so on top of that for next year. Plus, I have 2 stockings to make for our new expected granddaughter.

I never did solve the mystery of the sink holes. I guess I will just need to keep my heat gun handy until I figure it out. That seems to be the easiest remedy.

I made fudge today. Worked on stockings. That was pretty much it. I need to stay better focused tomorrow if I want to keep on top of things.


 


Word of the day:
Saturday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin and Foundress (1850-1917) - Memorial, St. Agostina Livia Pietrantoni, Virgin (1864-1894)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18:1-8.

Then he told them a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'" The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
