I received a pair of Reading Socks this Christmas. Oh, my. So, so comfy. Really, these should have been invented decades ago. Maybe they were, but I just never heard of them. I took the opportunity of wearing my Reading Socks to read the label for their care instructions.
Oh, dear. Machine wash at 40 degrees? Sounds a bit specific. I don’t think I can guarantee that. Bleach when needed? Maybe these are generic instructions and some Reading Socks are white and might need bleaching sometime down the road. Not mine, however. (Non-chorine bleach? What is that?) Hang to dry? No. And last, but not least: Iron Low.
Ha ha ha ha ha. No, and no. I am definitely not ironing my socks, Reading or otherwise.
Do not let the label throw you off track. These Reading Socks are the best. I love them.



The first day of 2022 found central Texas with warm weather (temperature in the high 70s). The cold front came later in the afternoon. Until then, we had green grass and dandelions.

Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape. ~~ bell hooks
