It's the Little Things.

This is my friend Mary and her husband Jim.

I meet Mary through blogging.

See the pink shawl?

It has traveled back and forth across the United States.

(That's twice as much as I have!)

You can read more about this well traveled shawl here.

Mary returned the "wedding" shawl with this cute thank you note.

She also sent a slouch bag that she made for me.

Mary, I love it!


It has pockets!


When I put it on and danced around the room, showing the dogs and Tom
my new bag, I noticed it was reversible!

Thank You Mary!

Airplanes also have "ordinary" seats that are less or more desirable for some reason:

* seats at the tail end of the plane often have no middle seats, which gives you more room to spread out

* seats just before the exit row and at the end of a section may not recline
* seats next to the toilets may be smelly and have lots of people trooping up and down to them
* seats next to the galleys may be noisy especially when flight attendants prepare and roll-out the meals, and surprisingly smelly from steam-heated food

* certain rows may have the electronics for the seat-back entertainment under the seat, stealing leg room.

* the effects of turbulence are weakest near the leading edge of the wing, in the middle of the aircraft.

* Finally, US National Transportation Safety Board, indicate that seats at the rear of the plane are statistically safer.

(I need to travel more... at least more then the "wedding" shawl)
