Catching Up

Greetings, Gentle Readers!  I've missed you, and I thank you sincerely for your good wishes while I took a break to rest my eyes.  Happy Belated Independence Day to you all.

I've been making hats.  Lots of hats.  Crazy hats, pretty hats, scary hats.  I'm feeling a little bit like Bartholomew Cubbins.

And the good news is that I've reached the halfway point on my book!  And my publisher likes it so well they've asked me to make another one, this time on slippers.  Yay!

Lindsay attended band camp.  Campbell and I are building a picnic table together.  Phillip is teaching summer school and acting in a play (his first in about 15 years).  It's a good summer.  We're busy, we're hot, and mostly, we're together.

I had a crazy idea (the kind that usually come to me when there is no possibility of acting on them) that I should really adapt this rabbit into a sweater.  What do you think?  I would totally wear that:

Oh, and my eyes are slowly improving, thank you for asking.  I'm no longer wearing dark glasses indoors, and all it took was getting a shot in my eyeball.  Gross, but worth it.  More or less.  What's new with you?
