World's Oldest Living Man Dies at Age 112
Since moving to Japan four years ago, I have become very interested in the oldest people in the world. That's probably because so many of them are from Japan! We recently learned that the oldest man, Yasutaru Koide of Nagoya Japan, died at age 112. He said his secret to living so long was not smoking or drinking, not to overdo things, and "living with joy". He died of heart failure and pneumonia last Tuesday.
I think I'm going to focus on "living with joy" so that whether my life is long or short, it'll be the best it can be.

Take a Stitch Tuesday - Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch
I
really like this stitch. I’ve done a
small seam with three strands of Mandarin floss on the pink block.
Next I
tried it with a single strand of Bravo! on the blue block and added detached
chain stitches.
