Knitting: A Novel

It sounds like a nice story. I checked my library's web site and found it on the New Books Shelf. I put a hold on it for myself. I am fourth on the list for the book.

Thanks for the tip!

Diane

Read it, and it IS good! JM2C, Noreen

Hi Carolyn,

Will have to check that out, am reading "Knit One, Kill Two" right now.

Hi guys, I am back......8 long hot weeks in Toronto. I can tell you running to catch a bus, in near 40º C is no fun.

I took that book with me to read in Toronto, loved it and have the second one from her from the library, both books are far overdue, that is what you get when you stay away so long....LOL

Els

Welcome back, dear Els! Hugs, Noreen

Hooray, she's back! Good to see you again, Els. How is your friend in Toronto?

Els

Welcome back. I sure know about the hot weeks in Toronto.

Darlene in Toronto

good to be back Noreen.....(smiling)

Els

Hello Mirjam, I read that you had a good trip as well.

Els

Hello Jan,

My friend in Toronto is now in a home that is just around the corner from where Darlene lives. Central Park lodge, is a nice cheerfull place and she is well taken care off. For now she is in assisted care. We do hope that she will be able to go in her own small apartment where she can make her breakfast and lunch, dinner is made for her. A bad fall like she had, is devastating at the age of 88. She does have osteoperosis as well, and now has four fractured ribs and a fractured vertabrea. However, she is ralling around and has started to walk with a walker. The nurses had shooed her off her bed and, took her to a barbeque out in the garden. When Otto and I came in later that day she complained that she had to sit and...." talk to all these old bittys" Margaret is a feisty Scotish born lady and that will be her salvation, we hope and think.

Good to be back Jan, and thanks for your concerns

Hi Els,

Oh, it's great to see you posting here and it's been just as hot here in upstate NY as in Toronto so I know what you have been through.

Our friend who just turned 85 last month is in a place here that sounds like the one your friend is in and she should do fine.

Now, which book did you read the one I mentioned or the one "Knitting a Novel"? If there is a second one I want to know the title please.

Hugs,

Nora

Hi Darlene, when I was sitting on the Don Mills Bus, I was always wondering which apartment building you are living in when I drove by. I did see the elephants, being washed one day, when there was a fair at Thorncliff plaza... they were hot as well....

Els

Hello Nora, I thought there was a second one, but maybe I am wrong. Otto picked up a book for me from the library while I was gone, and I assumed that that was her second one. (my memory is also a bit failing....LOL) however I just ran downstairs to check the title and author, and it is a book by Debbie Macomber, called: The Shop on Blossom Street (also a book we talked about here with the group I think)

Els

PS I did buy Harry Potters last book, as a treat in Toronto, but I did not like it much. Anyone else read it yet...??

Hi Els,

Debbie Macomber has also the second one called "A Good Yarn" that I've also read.

Hugs,

Nora

Hi Els

My building is one that is at the very back of the circle. yes the elephants were in that parking lot for an entire week while they had the circus there for the two weekends. DH and i avoided the plaza those weekends. I did enjoy walking by during the week and seeing the horses and elephants.

Welcome back to you, Els. We sure have missed you and your posts. And we, too, are looking for cooler weather!

Janise

Els, Welcome back! We have missed you too much! I was a bit disappointed in the latest Harry Potter book. I have read A Shop on Blossom Street, and really enjoyed it. I want to get Knitting A Novel by Anne Bartlett as well.

Hugs, Katherine (will e-mail you later today)

I wouldn't buy that one because it was only available in hard cover.

Hugs, Katherine
