This is Joe, being a box turtle. No idea if the pun was deliberate. If he looks tired and saggy, it could be because he woke up two hours early today.
These are the socks I made our goddaughter as a First Communion gift. In the card I said, I know socks are a weird First Communion gift, but a girl can only use so many rosaries. Besides, they are prayer socks, which means that every time I sat down to knit I asked God to pour out his grace on you, to draw you into ever-deeper union with Him, all your life long. And who knows but that "feet clad in readiness for the gospel of peace" is a scriptural reference to nifty handknit socks? Also, "how beautiful are the feet of them..."? Sounds like handknits to me.
This is Pete a couple of days ago, cooling off with a slice of cold watermelon. We are heading outside to enjoy the milder weather here in Gladlyville. Catch you later.
What a beautiful gift! I love the idea of prayer socks! And the pics of the boys are terrific! How we miss you all!!!!

LOL! A zillion times I've said, I cannot imagine the monotony of knitting a prayer shawl (I don't do blankets, as I would poke my eyes out from the boredom) but if you'd like some prayer socks, I'm your girl. Great minds think alike! ;)

The prayer socks are such a sweet gift. Really, when is something useful made with love and good wishes ever an inappropriate gift? Never, I say.
