Wool!! Wool + alpaca is even warmer.<br /><br />And how long do I have to wait for this book?

Are mittens or gloves warmer?

Maybe you should just think and plan now, and then have the work done when you can BBQ (unless you plan to be away for an extended period). Just a thought...<br />Also, since you were here in Kingston last fall at the Writers' Festival, I thought you might enjoy a view of the market square now that it's been turned into a skating rink--large photo on my blog (almost as good as your lovely photo of your house with its dusting of snow).Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-81703941614560927292010-12-05T15:51:10.112-08:002010-12-05T15:51:10.112-08:00Louise it all sounds very much in contol as you th...Louise it all sounds very much in contol as you think about it so it will probably go well.

The best one shows my husband looking aghast at the kitchen with all of the cabinets, counters and appliances ripped outlike, holes gaping in the walls. Sadly, it is a little blurry, but then so is the whole experience . . . <br /><br />Lee AnnLee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752558472354121200noreply@blogger.com
