I'll return from Chicago on Friday, so in the meantime, here's something to keep you occupied.
Here's a favorite picture of mine, from a vintage Bernat pattern book. I love it because it seems so ripe for a caption contest, and that's what this is.
Submit to the comments section of this blog what you think is being said by our guys here, and the one that makes my husband laugh out loud will win something fun from my stash, and some other stuff. I'll discuss it with the winner, but it'll be good. You can submit two entries, but no more. Deadline is Thurday at midnight, EST.
I'll announce the winner Friday by noon.
Have fun.

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a stripe.

Okay, okay, I couldn't resist a second one...
