Fly
Today, I found my wings. Wiley had an appointment, so about half an hour after he left, I put on my shoes, looked up a few words in Bosnian, and then hoofed it down to the bascarcija for some Christmas shopping. First, I stopped by my yarn lady and tried to ask her how to find what I needed. She didn't understand a word until I showed her what I needed and then asked if I should go to the bascarcija. She said yes, so off I went. I found exactly what I was looking for, was able to speak English and German have people understand me and I understood them, and then, since my feet were hurting, I mustered up the courage to get onto a trolley bus, stamp my ticket and sit down. I even got off at the right stop.

I'm proud of you. I hope you continue to grow and enjoy your time abroad. I hope you get healthy again, too. Donna
Yarn lady? Knit or crochet?
Bravo!!! Aunt Tex
Crochet! Knitting looks wayyyyy too difficult for me. My mom was a crocheter, and she tried to teach me, but it never worked. Then I found a wonderful book that taught me about granny squares and crocheting in the round, and I have the knowledge to make other stitches, but so far, all I've made are shrugs, girls' hats, afghans and scarves.
Sweet!I crochet hats. It's been a while because I'm working on knitting another pair of socks.
