Well, Jeff and Michael did something today that I doubt many people have done....they buried a man. Jeff learned this morning of the death of an elderly man whom we know his dear wife. He's been sick in a nursing home for some time so it wasn't totally unexpected. We also knew about his wishes in his will. Jeff had already built the man's coffin last year. His wishes were to be buried with nothing...no service, no fancy burial, no mortician...just to be buried in a wooden box. So that is what they did today. They picked him up and went directly to the cemetary where just the 4 men buried him there where they had the hole dug. May he rest in peace and many prayers for his widowed wife. I know she must be hurting right now.
Well, on a brighter note - I admit I have had the opportunity to finish that purse over the past two days but I've been reading a book that I couldn't put down instead! I've actually read two books this week! First I read "Monster" by Frank Peretti and I just finished "House" which is also by Frank Peretti co-authored with Ted Dekker. We bought quite a few books at thrift stores while we were on our trip. Both books were quite the page turners.
I read this on the Red Heart Facebook page...I think this is true...
HEALTH BENEFITS: Knit and crochet projects are often considered family heirlooms, but there is a growing body of evidence that the repetitive nature of the activities are calming, relaxing. "The rhythmic, repetitive movements of a hobby like knitting are soothing and distracting," Katherine Applegate, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist for the Duke University health system told the Ladies Home Journal.
Hopefully, a purse picture tomorrow!

i am in the middle about all of the health benefits of crochet and have learned from my research that there are tons and tons and tons of benefits that I may not even have thought of (pain management, Alzheimer's prevention, occupational therapy skills ...) It's amazing!
