The philosophy of Robert Burns


"The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men,
Gang aft agley"

so said Rabbie Burns, Scotland's "Ploughman Poet" and the namesake for my brother-in-law, Robert Burns Campbell.
"
I believe I wrote only too recently that I was finished gift knitting for a while. But that was before a sweet friend of my niece's gave birth three weeks early to 3 1/2 pound little Caden, and before Benny, Barbara's dog, chewed up sister Margie's Christmas present. My purple, Big Sack Sweater awaits, sitting neglected on needles in my knitting basket while I make a few needed and necessary things for others. Can you imagine the tiny head that will fit into this little hat? Grow big and strong, little man.
