What the heck happened to Spring? One day we have temps in the 60's and the next we are pulling out our coats and sweaters again for temps in mid 20's! I say we can always complain about the weather, but we can't do anything about it--the only thing in life we can't change-weather and death!
So, while it's still cool and inside sitting time, I'm knitting.............. and it's time

Here is the plot--Sixteen years after Caroline Crale is convicted for the murder of her
husband Amyas, her daughter Carla approaches Poirot (Hurrah another Poirot book!).
In the meeting, Carla says her mother was innocent and told her so in the letter she

the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order
in which they arrived to his party. Pig overslept so was late!
Another story says that a wolf destroyed his house and he had
to rebuild his home before he could set off--sound like a
"three little pigs" tale to me!
Anyway, when the pig arrived,he was the last one and could
only take twelfth place.
In Chinese culture, pigs are symbol of wealth--their chubby
faces and big ears are signs of fortune as well--
