Bye to Pop-Pop

The In-Laws are leaving this morning, but said their good-byes last night, since Arabella goes to the neighbors for a few hours, leaves early, and they aren't getting up that early. They're not really morning people, unlike Arabella. If I hadn't been a morning person I would be now. It was nice to see them, and Arabella was sad to have to say goodbye last night. But my father is coming for a much longer visit in a couple of weeks, so maybe she'll get as much grandpa time as she can handle.

Halloween was great, Arabella was a fairy princess, I started out being a gypsy but somehow ended up looking like Jack Sparrow in drag. I was very impressed with Little Rob, down the street, who was a Jack Sparrow complete with painted eyes and dreadlocks. And my prize for going out trick or-treating, I'm sick all over again, raspy cough and all. Pics will follow.

I'm knitting Dad's hat, and although he has a big head, I don't think it's this big. I may have to rip back a few rows: its got some flaws, not fatal, but to me they look huge.
