I've nothing of any real interest to report today but I'm trying to get back into the swing of posting. So, here's a picture for you. The girls watched The Wizard of Oz yesterday afternoon. A bit of dress-up followed. Of course. Can't forget those ruby slippers, can we?
I fell off the posting wagon for awhile there, didn't I? For those of you who keep up with me on Flickr most of this will be old news. For those of you who don't, here's the last two weeks in a nutshell.
Sunday before this last, I finished my Feather and Fan scarf. I flew through the first ball of yarn in a day and a half. The second ball took significantly longer. The mindlessness of the pattern went from "pleasant" to "chore" pretty quickly. I was relieved to be done with it when I was. Even so, it turned out nicely. Don't you think?
Last Tuesday, Dan left for Mexico for four days. The trip was work related and fully half of his time away was spent getting there and back, so I wasn't jealous. And he returned baring gifts; jewelry and some very fine tequila. Yep. He's a keeper.
While Dan was away, my Mom came to visit. She not only helped us cope with Papa's absence, she kept us one or two clicks above simply surviving the experience and she left us with cookies. She's also a keeper...even though she can be a bit of a nag sometimes.
Before Dan left, Lola developed a cough. No fever. No other symptoms. Just a cough. A really wretched cough, but one that didn't prevent her from going or wanting to go to school. After seven days though, I decided a visit to the doctor was in order. I was right, too. Yes. She has pneumonia. Again. She's had a case annually since she was two, which is alarming in and of itself, but twice in ten months? The child has the crappiest lung Chi ever. Excuse me while I go have a shot of tequila. Not really...but the thought had crossed my mind.
