Remember... Lest We Forget! November 11th tomorrow

It seems like it has been a whirlwind week with Mr.B doing an  English radio interview and a television interview for French viewing. Both Remembrance Day, and Circular Sock Machine related.  Those two events has encouraged us to have an impromtu market stint for this coming Saturday, at the Historic Farmers' Market 7am-1pm.  And as usual the Circular Sock Machine and MrB will be in full swing demonstrating the art of sock making, just as they were used in War time for socks for the troops.  


When watching our local news this evening, there was a small segment of a women 93 years old, who use to teach Morris Code in our region.  She still operates and practices Morris Code from her basement as a hobby.  As she was closing her information to the television audience, she gave a tid bit of info being 73 meant "Best Regards" and then she said better yet, 88 means " Love and kisses"  This was something new we had just learned and a key bit of info to add to our memory banks, as our machine is the 88 th one made.  88 is in our business name and our machine and mascot is called Brigadier 88.   Love and kisses ~ MsB
