My cousin’s (the one who graduated this week) Senior Ballet Recital was last night. What follows is the traditional ballerina and sock-in-progress camera phone shot.

The sock is in her right hand. Use your imagination.

I didn’t knit during the recital, but I did knit all the way there, in the parking lot, at intermission and while waiting for our table to be ready for supper. I’ve got a little straw purse that I use as my incognito summer knitting bag. Of course, pulling a sock out of it at every opportunity sort of negates the incognito part.

Don’t mock. I got to the heel.

You can blame Elizabeth and Darlene for this next bit.

7 Random Facts

1. All the cats are named after First Ladies. Or in the case of William Henry, a president.
2. I hate asparagus with a passion that rivals the heat of a thousand suns.
3. I don’t like to order pizza on the phone. Or any kind of take-out. Someone else has to do it.
4. In my life, I have lived in five places. I am counting college in this total.
5. My house has 7 fireplaces. None of them work as fireplaces.
6. My current bedtime reading is The Island of Dr. Moreau. I realized that I hadn’t read it (in spite of knowing the story) and went to the library specifically.
7. I keep what is known as “farmer’s hours*.” That’s just how I roll.
