Dear Vickie Howell,

You owe me a decent grilled cheese sandwich.. why you say. Well I will tell you why..

Yesterday just before lunch I received your book New Knits on the Block. I quickly opened it, because as you know kids always want to know what is in a package that arrives. I leafed through the book.. looks great.. and set it down so I could cook up our grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

That’s when everything went wrong.. you see no sooner had I placed the book on the table and started up the first batch of sandwiches when my oldest son walked into the room, followed by his Dad. My son spied the book and picked it up.

Now being highly protective of my new prize book, I had to supervise. My husband came over to look and as we oohed and aaaahed our way through the book.. to a chorus of oooh I want that, the sandwiches lay forgotten on the pan.

My nose started to twitch.. I smelled something.. Oh no the sandwiches were burning!!! I ran over and flipped them over.. they were ruined. Ah well.

I cooked up a few more and served them up. Then when my youngest son came to the table he spied the book. It was all over. One can’t very well let one’s two year old pour over one’s new knitting book can one? So as I supervised the little one looking over the book and asking to see the ‘bath captain’, over and over again.. my other three children and husband grabbed the ‘good’ sandwiches off the plate.

And so.. you see .. I was left with the cold, burnt sandwiches. So Vickie… you owe me…

Sincerly,

Denise

 PS.. I see some knitting of projects in this book in my future!
