Andrew's birthday month.

On Sunday, a new friend gave me this lovely infinity scarf. I was chatting  with another friend when I  got this glow of fuzzy feeling. When I was pregnant with Andrew, I knitted a coat with a similar texture and colour. I wore it everywhere I went. It was stretchy just like this scarf, and I wore it even when I was 9 months pregnant.

I had forgotten about this purple coat until I chatted with Roz. Andrew might have died, but he is in my heart, and it was having him that I became a writer. 

Red: Love your neighbourhood.

This Sat, my church is doing a working bee for "love your neighbourhood." I gave these Tee Shirts to my Kai Son and niece from Taiwan. Good modelling for us.
