Saturday is SO FAR AWAY.

I'm having a hard time waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out. If you ask my mom, she would tell you that I am not the most patient person in the world. I may have a small problem with instant gratification. But I think I can hold out till Saturday....I just hope Amazon comes through for me and I get the book as expected. I am really excited and also a little sad...it's a bit bittersweet, coming to the end. This is the way I felt when I read "Betsy's Wedding" and I knew there weren't any more Betsy-Tacy books to read. But what about the rest of her life??! I need to know! At least then, I could read about Maud Hart Lovelace and know, in a way, what happened to Betsy. I don't think there are any real life Harry Potters out there.
My dear B is in eastern Europe for THREE AND A HALF WEEKS. That is a long time, my friends! He is starting out in Vienna, then going to Slovakia to visit family, and eventually ending up in Germany (to come home; I don't think to visit). He's not too sure what he's going to do in between Slovakia and Germany. Flies by the seat of his pants, that boy! I think I would need everything planned out. He is flying out of Munich, home of Wollmeise yarn, but he tells me that he won't be there except for a layover. Boo!

How are you supposed to resist that? These have been marinating in my stash for a while. Suzanne, up top, is destined to be a pair of knee socks.
