And below is a photo of the 9/11 Memorial I photographed when we visited with the grandkids a few years ago.
I heard from a friend a couple of weeks ago that her daughter’s doll was having some wild hair and could I possibly knit a doll hat? Of course. They came to the front porch, masked, the other morning and brought the dolls so I got to take a before and after photo. We even had an impromptu knitting lesson with some worsted and those kid needles, where one needle is red and one blue. I am sure a followup lesson in is our future.
Our favorite hairstylist Lauren suggested a good Dawn Liquid shampoo and a drop of conditioner MIGHT help revive the doll hair.

A chubby groundhog has been devouring my tomatoes. The ones that were taking time to turn red. These two little yellow tomatoes are all I have to show for my farming efforts this summer. Next year I’ll have to put up a chicken wire fence.
One homegrown tomato apiece.
They were delicious but you definitely experienced a hankering for more.
My friend R came for coffee on my front porch Saturday morning. She brought lovely French pastries. And a box of……
Cannelés from Gaby et Jules French bakery In Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh.
(Click here for a recipe if you don’t have a French bakery nearby)
(pronounced “can-eh-lay”), also spelled canelés. They come from the Bordeaux region of France..” from Chef Iso website “ basic ingredients–milk, flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla. But baking them at high heat in ridged fluted molds transforms them from a liquid batter to deep golden brown treasures. The outer shell is crunchy and crisp while the inside is delicious custard.”
One: It’s dilemma. The correct spelling. Perhaps you already knew that it was never dilemna. But you might have been taught the incorrect spelling in school from what I researched. Etymology at English Language and Usage here
