The working day of a school nurse:

Circa 1976
I could not love this photo or this woman more. Happy Mothers Day to my awesome mom. Who taught me everything I know. (On and off the needles.)

And people, make sure you have photos of you knitting. Lots of photos. Go now! Sit down, knit and make someone take a photo of you. (I will, too!)

    Oooooooooh, this is good...knitting while on the job - wish I could come up with a way to do that! :) That's awesome! Great picture. I wonder if she still has that object (sweater?) she was knitting. Hope you had a really nice mother's day!

  17. Good idea. Never think to have the kids take a picture of me. I took pictures of my own mother on Sunday. Her 88th birthday and Mother's Day. Whew!
