Hey Sherrill great podcast as usual I love that the animals keep you company while you are podcasting...Did you notice on last weeks podcast that you didn't put any zuccini(?) in the loaf? I was wondering how much to add it sounds really good... well anything with chocolate is good right!

That last song would be great to play if you needed to finish knitting something on a deadline wow was that fast! I loved it!!!

Darlene in PEI ( blogless but really thinking about starting one and your button will be added when I do!)

what a cool, strange world we live in that my music would find itself here! thanks for using my song. I appreciate it. I tried knitting once on a 12 hour plane ride...for like 10 hours. and failed. I may yet try again though!
