I miss my Swedish grandma very much. She was kind and very attentive. The following is something she used to say.

I finished my Charlie Brown latch hook project, but with illnesses, doctor visits, and plate tectonics I’ve delayed starting a new project.
But no longer.
But first, two days I brought the mounted Charlie Brown(tm) latch hook to the crafts class. A librarian saw me holding it and took a picture. My project and I will be in a forthcoming county newsletter. Two other crafters took pictures as well. It all made me feel special and I was dearly needing a pick me up.
I’m taking over a friend’s barely started latch hook of Minnie Mouse(tm). It’s a little harder as the thread is somewhat thicker,
Anyway, here is my start.

The following is especially true in cooking, or so a friend told me.

I am known for my simple ways. I cringe at every addition to our cell phones: additions that frequently turn out to be death by enhancement.
No, I like the simplicity of sunrises, kittens, and baking.
Baking involves measuring amounts of butter. The standard American stick of butter contains 8 tablespoons or ½ cup.
Fairly simple, right? But many recipes call for 4 tablespoons or ¼ cup of butter. The standard American butter stick does mark off every tablespoon. However, the wrapper for the butter is often off. So, when we cut the butter at what we think is ¼ tablespoons, we have actually sliced off maybe 4.23 tablespoons butter.
If only there were a simple way for simple souls to accurately measure 4 tablespoons of butter.
Now thanks to Land O Lakes(tm) I have butter sticks that measure 4 tablespoons.
A simple solution for a simple man, All is well. I am content.
An old-style 8 tablespoon stick is there for reference

My quarterback stunt double
I went to physical therapy today to get the muscles in my lower back and legs stretched. Indeed, I am making progress despite spectacular fall in the kitchen last night.
My tight muscles, tendons, thingies are, no doubt, I did not start as quarterback for ANY NFL team last weekend. And my prospects for playing this weekend are fading rapidly.
But I shall perservere. Soon you will, Paul “TD Man” De Lancey leading a lucky team to the Super Bowl. Go, Paul, go!

Stunt Big Toe from Stunt Man
Seems difficult to do but I did. I warmed by spilling one cookie-dough round into the oven and few more on the floor.
Then . . .
I tripped on the part of the broiler that was sticking out by a little. But my left big toe managed to catch it. I fell/flew forward, twisted in mid-air and broke my fall with my left knee. Final damage: headache, twisted neck, twisted back, twisted left ankle, and throbbing left, big toe, and hurt left knee. I thought briefly that my big toe was broken, but it’s better now. Oh and I managed to pull the broiler drawer all the way open with my big toe.
You may say that baking is not a full-contact sport, but I respectfully disagree.
