{sweaters in the summer}
i know sweaters are off topic based on the season, but hey you sweat in the summer so we can connect the dots and make the connection.
and what are the coolest, most hip type of sweaters?
Grandpa sweaters, of course! (haha, corse, like a sweater). my family went up to duluth this weekend (cause that is where there parents/my grandparents live), while i stayed home and painted others homes. all weekend long.
but my toils do not go unrewarded. not only did i get my paycheck friday, saw some awesome friends from college saturday, but on sunday my bloodline made their way back home with a plastic bag for me with love from my grandpa mackereth. it was a bag full of old man sweaters! the kind that could almost make me look homeless, i love them! and no sifting through racks at thrift stores, instead i just have a burst of joyfulness while pulling all of my new treasures over my head. i think i got a total of about 6 or 7 new sweaters, i can't wait to wear them out on the streets.
some of the highlights (like sportscenter):
>a sweater with elbow pads
>a sweater that buttons up with wooden toggles
>2 cashmere sweaters (one with 2 small moth holes and som stains that oxiclean will remove)
>and then a few other randoms
i feel sort of bad that i did not personally receive them from my father's father, but next time that i am visiting the grand 'rents, i will be sure to give him an extra big hug, also my grandma, because i am sure it was her idea because despite her deceivingly old age, she is super young at heart, and i think she has me pretty well figured out. or else this kind of fashion enjoyment just runs in the...(you finish this corny refrence to jeans/genes).
::THE END::
ps-it amazes me how clothing works, how it is all interwoven and what not. crazy.

David, I had a dream about you last night. You were telling me about some sort of clothing. I think this post got caught up in my head somehow...
Also... I, along w/ my bro, am getting baptised this Sunday! I am confidant it will go well. I just can't wait for that feeling - of confessing Jesus as my savior in front of everyone... of publically giving my life to Christ - of knowing of my sins and asking for God to help me, to hold me, to give me comfort and shelter in His heart during my trials. Oh, I can't wait!
I too have pondered the complexity of fabric. My Gramma has always made clothes; when she would make me something [and when I was a lil gal] I would take the fabric and look at it - thinking "how did she weave these tiny fibers?" Of course I know now she doesn't do that, but I do still wonder how they make the fabric that clothing is made of.

i hope your dream was super exciting, i am sure it was.
reading about your sunday coming up gave me goosebumps all over. i am super excited for you, that is cool that you and your brother are doing it at the same time.
i am also glad to see that others ponder strange things like myself.
