Moving far away

Sara, I would be heartbroken if my daughter and three grands moved that far away. Do you feel that way too? She couldn't get farther away than if she moved to Alaska. I guess the best thing to knit is thrum mittens. Do you know about them? You might be able to source them out on the internet. We have an alpaca event close by twice a year and they sell those mittens there. They are knitted mittens but with fleeces of wool knitted inside. They are very warm. Mind you, if your daughter isn't into handwashing mittens, they might be a bust. They are pure wool but pure wool is warm; synthetic wools are not. Thermal vests for the kids might be a good idea too and warm housecoats is a good idea too. Lands End have good winter clothing for kids in their catalogues. They are into summer stuff but the fall and winter clothing won't be far behind. Raincoats, too, would be good, with rubber boots, winter boots too.

We have truly had four days of summer here in southern Ontario so far. The weather is not unpleasant. It's just not that warm. At least we can leave the windows open and I love the fresh country air coming into the house.

My kids are an hour each way from us here in the country. We are at 12 o'clock, one is at 5 o'clock, another 7, another 11 by the clock in east/west/southerly fashion. We are north at 12. The spoke in the wheel, so to speak.
