Hodgepodge

Thanks for praying for Micah. See my sister's update for the specifics. He came through surgery well. He's encouraged. But he has a long way to go, and he still  needs your prayers.

AACS competition judging is over for another year. Yippee.

I've started a new sock. As they say, knitting can be relaxing. With the week I've had, I need a little.

Should I consider getting a dog? My mom says absolutely not. But I keep hearing little things, reading articles, having people ask me if I have a dog, etc. With apologies to my sister, I'd never get one if I thought it would be as much trouble as theirs (an English Springer Spaniel that is more trouble than a child!) But surely there is a nice, quiet, loving, non-shedding, non-smelly dog out there that would be perfect for me. Any suggestions? :)
