Knitting with Mr. Rogers
The Boybird gets a tape everyweek with the *best of*
his favorites...
Norm Abrams of This Old House,
Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow,
and Mr. Rogers.
I Tivo (and dvr...just because I am all about the redundant systems approach
to life....)all of the episodes and then choose which 6 hours to record for him.
This week we have selections from the Musicians Village in New Orleans
built by Habitat for Humanity with help from This Old House Ventures,
and today I sat on the couch knitting a sock, mesmerized, watching Fred Rogers cast
on with two sticks and rope (!) explain about knitting for puppets,
and then take a tour with Mr. McFeeley (SPEEDY DELIVERY!)
of a sock knitting factory.
sigh.
I got a call an hour ago from his House
saying he needed another new VCR/DVD player. STAT!
I always keep one in reserve and buy the extended warranties
for just such an EMERGENCY.
When I got to the House, one of the other residents greeted me at the door
and announced "He's been watching Mr. Rogers KNIT, over and over, and over again
and it broke the machine. Thank you for bringing him a new one!"
Oh yeeah, that's My Boybird!
