Posting the post holiday slippers pattern.

A few people have asked so I am now posting the pattern for the post holiday slippers from a previous post. You know, the ones I made for my Dad (aka “Opa”). You can download Slipper Pattern 044 as a .pdf file now. The pattern was given to me many, many years ago by Thelma Tolomei and I’m afraid the condition is not the best and it’s a little worse for the wear. But it’s a time tested pattern and has produced untold pairs of slippers.

I also wanted to update everyone on the status of Blaise and Kathy Lee, friends who were missing in the Haiti earthquake. They have turned up in a Miami hospital injured but alive. I received a message from an emergency room nurse at Guatanamo who cared for them before they were transferred to Miami. Here is an excerpt from that message:

I saw your post on the missing list for Haiti…I saw that Blaise is your friend on here..Good news Chris, Blaise is, last I heard in Jackson Hospital in Miami…I can’t give you specifics, but he was treated in our facility in GTMO on the 13th, and sent to Miami same day.
