Did you use CliffNotes in high school? I have to admit that I did, especially when the assignment was either a Steinbeck or a Hemingway book. (One day, I shall make up for all the books I didn't read in high school.) I specifically remember purchasing the CliffNotes for The Old Man and The Sea. (Kids now-a-days have it so easy! Now many CliffNotes are free, come with apps and/or have audio summaries! Magical thing, the internet.)
In law school, we used similar types of products. Especially helpful when you had 100+ pages of reading for preparation for each class was a product that distilled the main cases into easy, one-page summaries.
The next couple of posts are going to be like those summaries. There's much to share with you, but much of it happened awhile ago. So rather than an in-depth commentary, it will just be a summary. Hopefully an interesting summary.
So I'll start back in January when our knitting guild hosted the SavvyGirls, Deborah and Melanie. We went shopping at a number of St. Vinny's Stores, then to Monty's Blue Plate Diner for lunch before heading out of town to Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill for a tour, then stopping for more fiber-liciousness at The Cat and Crow. It was a joy to be their tour guide for the day. Melanie performed her knitting musical, "More Power to Your Knitting, Nell" and they jointly spoke at our Guild meeting. Hopefully, they'll come back to the Madison area again - even though they weren't sure where the heck WI, much less Madison, was located. Holey moley!
If you haven't heard their podcast - go listen...I'll wait.
