New Books!

I'm getting three new books tomorrow from the library, the first three of the Amelia Peabody series, by Elizabeth Peters. I can't wait to get them! A friend, who was reading Alexander McCall Smith's books along with me, told me about the series.

The Wealth of Nations is a huge book, and we decided to just buy it used, a good plan for such a book. Reading is a real pleasure in life, like knitting and crafting. And baking, but that stuff makes me fatter. Low Calorie reading and knitting is the answer!

Wolfie is having to diet because his keepers were too liberal with the treats. He has lost two pounds, and he doesn't like not getting his three bones a day. The vet explained that the bones we were giving him, even though they were low calorie ones, would be like one of us eating three low calorie candy bars a day. Hmmm, that sounds pretty good!

Alas,if the little dog is in a diet, then I must be. too. It's only fair, after all. So we are dieting together, Wolfie and I. But, of course, with him being a male, the weight is coming off him and not off me! He is the cutest little woolly bear of a dog with 8 inch long legs, so he doesn't much like to run, either.

Casting on the other mitt tomorrow, El. The color is SO deep a purple that it's hard to get enough light to knit it. But they are so pretty in that color. Night Night Sweet Dreams are wished for all!
