I have a brother who lives on Nantucket. We are not particularly close, and I have never been to Nantucket.
Sounds like a limerick, doesn't it?
"The closest I've been to Nantucket
(by ferryboat, since you can't truck it,)
was just out of reach
on Hyannis beach
but it's on my list labeled 'Bucket'."
There. I made it through without using any unsavory words. (But if I made you think them, I'm sorry.)
I have another brother who is working out on Martha's Vineyard, building a house, but that's another story. (....and besides, what rhymes with vineyard?)
Well, NanBro is expecting a daughter sometime in February. Now, I have just done a tally of sorts.
Between us, my husband and I have 8 siblings, 7 of whom have had children. As it turns out, this new niece will be a tie-breaker. Right now, we have 8 nieces and 8 nephews.
I have never knitted anything for a new baby. That's right, never! (What?!)
Let 2014 be the year that changes.
