Homewalk

Those of you who reside in and around Los Angeles might be familiar with the eating establishment Canter's. Tonight we were there and upon leaving my daughter offered a new friend she had made one of her tiniest pet shop figurines- which i thought was really generous because she really loved them. Then as we walked to our car we encountered a homeless man and my husband suggested that Hunter give him her and Mac's leftover pancakes. Which she did. As we were driving away she mused at how good it felt to give the little girl her toy. Then she said, "But, ya know what felt better? Giving that homeless guy my pancakes." And she's right, it does feel good. We as knitters are by nature givers. I think we're very in touch with humanity and making contributions that seem small but in actuality mean alot. In this spirit I challenge, encourage, and hope that we can march as a group in Homewalk -United Ways walk to help end homelessness. On November 17 I hope to walk with my family -including my knitting family. Will you walk, too?

If you can get the information on signups to me, I'll be glad to join you. Can probably get at least one daughter to come, too. Of course, the date of the walk is the date The Pregnant One is a) turning 30 and b) due to deliver!
