I have, fortunately, had a big life-distraction this week -- as I move my dad out of his condo and into a lovely independent-living apartment very near me. Having that activity right now keeps me rooted in my own reality (although very much tuned in to what is going on around me).<br /><br />I&#Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-9367685324087159002017-01-30T19:38:40.356-05:002017-01-30T19:38:40.356-05:00I agree.

But then this weekend happened... and I am insanely proud at those who are stepping up to peacefully say this is wrong. From ACLU attorneys to our Senator who drove to the Philly airport to help those being detained. There is much more to be proud of - that is what America is - those people standing up!AsKatKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176601489544011641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-1761761865314632822017-01-30T09:41:49.172-05:002017-01-30T09:41:49.172-05:00Dark times for sure.

I made one the other year and it is small for me (operator error...not pattern), but I still cram it on my head and wear it occasionally.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-823283798695881032017-01-30T08:13:21.821-05:002017-01-30T08:13:21.821-05:00I am trying to focus on knitting and the good in o...I am trying to focus on knitting and the good in other people.

I personally think many of them are embarrassed. I plan to call my Senators (2) and Congressman (1)) for Wyoming - all Repulicans. I refuse to be silent about my feelings. <br /><br />I'm knitting and sewing a lot more than usual to distract myself.

Increased knitting output seems to be a positive byproduct of these awful times, and I love your socks.

It's no fun trying to manage, but once you figure it out, the sense of freedom is exhilarating. <br /><br />As to The Politics, I echo your sentiments completely. This is not who we are. This is not the America I know and love from history. And the fact that so many in Washington, D.C. areNancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.com
