why does it always take so long?

I’ve had the following picture taken for a week and a half.

Sitcom on the bed

Here’s a close up of the neck.

Michael made a little program to get my pictures out of the camera, onto Princess Arjumand (my laptop), into the editor and then delete them from the camera. While he was gone, the program decided to save itself some trouble and just delete the pictures. Bah. I had to wait until M came back to get it fixed. In the meantime: I finished the knitting on Sitcom, finished the book I was reading while knitting on Sticom, felted Mercury, put Mercury together and started over on Hammie’s graduation sock. After a field trip to JoAnn (Oooh, look! Free shipping!) for some buttons, I should be able to show you some finished products.

But for now, I need to go and feed the masses – they are demanding lunch. Grilled Cheese and french fries for everyone! Except Great Gran, who has opted for leftover Chicken Pot Pie.

PS We have had ZERO bad weather from TS Bonnie, who was originally headed straight for Okaloosa county (that’s us), and Charlie doesn’t look like he’ll be a problem for us either. It did rain solidly all day Tuesday from one in the morning to the following evening. But that was from an ordinary storm system. Nothing special.
