She is NOT a heartless, remorseless girl, she is a beautiful teen-ager with admirable manners, and great writing skills.
When I picked up my mail, I thought it was another Christmas card, it was the right shape, but it was instead a lovely thank-you for the red and yellow (gold) ankewarmers. Besides thank-you, she also wrote that the anklewrmers would be very welcome for walks from campus building to building.
That girl was showing her true colors! I do not receive, nor do I expect, a thank-you from someone whom I have talked to, but sometimes my anklewaremers travel to other homes, and I have received many thank-yous from people I have never met, or perhaps seldom see.
Stay warm.

DID AUNTIE EM WEAR A SHAWL?
I'm trying to remember -- does Auntie Em wear a shawl?
Certainly not when she's out by the hen house with Uncle Henry, putting the new chicks into coops just ahead of the looming storm.
Maybe later -- there's those scenes after the house and everyting else has been carried up into the sky, remember the despicable Miss Almira Gulch riding her bike in the wind, and Auntie Em swinging back and forth in her rocking chair, blissfully knitting as if she were sitting in her parlor firmly on the ground?
Didn't Auntie Em wear a shawl then?
The blue-green shaded triangular shawl I've just finished is for the silent auction at the 2010 Kansas Authors Club on October 1-3, but I'm tempted to keep it for myself. Only, you know Auntie Em would be wearing brown, not blue.

RUN IF YOU SEE ME COMING
Be prepared to run if you see me coming. I've been knitting and writing all year, and I've got a new supply of ankle warmers, or boot toppers.
I know you don't want to hurt my feelings by telling me, "No, thanks, but I don't really need a pair of hand-knit ankle warmers" -- but if you refuse my offer, and later come down with a sniffling, wheezing, my-head-feels-like-a-rotten-squash cold, I will try to hide my i-told-you-so look for your refusal to take my advice about keeping your extremities warm at all times.
