Long time ...

OK, so I'm getting flak from the grandparent contingent on the blog not being up to date. Well, a comment from time to time wouldn't kill you dear readers, and it lets me know that I'm not writing this all for myself. Heck, I know what Arabella is doing.

This past week the In-laws came out for a few days, played with Arabella, and Michael and Frank replaced the back door. This was a bigger project than it seems, since the old door was anrrower and shorter than the smallest entry door on the current market. But now there is no longer a gap under the door you can slide a folded newspaper through. And the locks are all new, so no more aggravation with an old and hinky lock. Arabella had a great time, and misses her Papa, most likely since he lets her play in the car and gives her things like chemical lights.

Last night I attended the first class meeting for Arabella's new preschool, a co-op, so I'll be participating alot. There are two vegetarian kids, and one with a bad latex allergy, this will be interesting. I wracked my brains to think if there was anything I should be telling my fellow parents, and couldn't think of anything. Arabella is happy, energetic, healthy.

I was planning on posting pictures of Arabella from the Cottage in West PA, bu the cd of pics that Walter gave us won't run, and I can't find my camera (I took it out of my purse last week to go to the splash park), so, when I have new pics, you will all see them.

Knitting: finished a washrag for Amy, working on the interminable log cabin afghan, haven't touched Arabella's snake, and started Michael's alpaca yarn hat last night.

Ceramics: halfway up the body of a largish horse, about 22" long and about 20" high so far. Nothing else going on. Class starts next week -- wheel-throwing.
