Sole Survivor

 5 stars to: Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz
shocking, sad, moving, powerful, great read.

The Black Box

I emptied the garbage and saw him pull the pill out of his pocket, open it and dump it into my coffee. Then he added milk. I had moved back to the sink. He turned and said “here’s your coffee”. I watched him leave the kitchen, I dumped it out and got a fresh cup of coffee, turned and there he was, standing in the doorway. Teeth clinched, fists balled up, I thought he was going to hit me. Such anger on his face.

Assembling the afghan

Assembling the afghan Method #3

It can also be done using embroidery stitches, I used on the sample a simple cross stitch, but you can use just about any one, try it and see for yourself. Just make sure you use both the top and bottom loops of each square. I'll post another picture with three stitches you can use, but if you have the book called 100 embroidery stithces, turn to page 17, and try these three, herringbone, double back stitch or closed herringbone stitch, and the chevron stitch, you could also try a simple blanket stitch.

The Black Box

I was sitting on the love seat when he came in. He loaded the big black gun from the bottom, and pulled the top of it back, putting a shell in the chamber, then laid the gun on the trunk. I stood up to leave, he picked it up and pointed at me. I sat down. He laid the gun back down on the trunk. I stood up to leave, he picked it up and pointed at me. I sat down. He laid the gun back down on the trunk. Every time I stood up, he picked that gun up and pointed at me and every time I sat down he put the gun back down on that old trunk. It felt like it when on for hours. Finally I walked off, afraid that he would shoot me in the back and blame one of the kids. I went into the bedroom and cried. I still have that old trunk, him I kicked out not to long after that.

Assembling Afghan Method 1

Assembling Afghans Method 1
In one of the group projects we did on the At My House Knitting and Crochet list was how to put an afghan together. I'll be posting the rest of the different ways to put one together here. Watch of it.

Assembling Afghan by hand sewing it together

Working with the right side of the squares up on a table, place the two squares together. With yarn needle, take up a loop from the bottom edge of each square, and whipstitch them together. Repeat across square, add two more squares, whipstitching these together, till you have the afghan, thenumber of squares that you want it wide.

Go back and whipstitch the sides of each square together. You now have completed two rows of your afghan.

Keep adding squares and whipstitching them together, untilyou have added all your squares.

Very good book, tons of action, fast paced. I love the characters, but wanted to know if the hero helped the grandma, and if the girl that didn't kill anyone got out of jail. Great read.
