Mary Maxim Contest
I’ve now finished (finished to me means not only stitched, but all the ends are woven into the project) 25 squares and 5 rows on this project. I added those squares to my afghan, and so I now only need 5 squares/1 row and then I can do the length wise joining and the edging. I should have this done by the end of the month or before. :)
Crook news:
How do you park?
Yesterday we went out to lunch. I noticed a bright orange post-it note stuck to the outside of the driver’s window on the car in the space to my right. I'm curious (or is that nosey? hehehe) enough, I read it. I laughed—out loud.
You should learn how to park between the lines. A jeep isn't that big.Oh how often I've wanted to leave a similar note, but I lack the courage; besides my mother's voice always echoes in brain, "Be nice." As I caught up with Mr. Retired at the door to the restaurant, he asked what the note said. I told him, and he (who doesn't have my mother's voice echoing in his brain) promptly said he wanted to get that printed on cards and sealed in plastic – maybe a thousand or so – and carry them with him.
So if you can't park your vehicle, and someday you come out and find a note on your window, perhaps Mr. Retired stopped by. *wink*
Personal:
From my reading in Psalms this morning:
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?– Psalms 27:1
When the world around me is filled with woes, frustrations and sorrows, and the way is dark, I need only look to the Lord for strength, comfort, and security—for He will light my way.

The best 'parking' note to me is the one popular in the 80s "In the space that your car takes up, two elephants could have mated."
Never a note leaver before, I finally started notifying the manager at the store about someone who parks diagonally in parking spaces (taking up 2 or 3 spaces; always close to the store too). So many were told to move their cars, cited or towed, that I haven't seen a single one this year at all in my area. Which is amazing considering the number of inconsiderate and lazy oafs in this area.
When I was a kid, my dad had seveal business size cards w/ funny stuff on them. he had 1 for people who parked too close to you. (he never left it on a car though). it read:
"thanks for parking so close. Next time leave a can opener so I can get my car out"
