The neighborhood hasn't had a baby for six months and we are almost due for our next. This one's quilt turned out much better than last August's baby's, much less clumsy. Scarf's assembly and construction of our different squares was fine last year, but I think the squares are better this time. I gave Runaway Bunny because my square was the scene of his being a flower in a garden, and Kal gave Very Hungry Caterpillar for the same reason. Also pajamas with weensy dinosaurs and another set with dogs, and Olivia because she's a badass with a big mouth.
I violated gender protocol and spent some time on the porch with the men instead of in the (hotter) house with the women. A yellowjacket got me in the left eyesocket, not through the lid to the eyeball thank goodness, and though near the outside and halfway up to the eyebrow, my left eyebag now deserves the name. It's even swollen enough to deprive me of some peripheral vision. If only it were bruised, then it would look really punk rock. But goggles hurt, and I did not swim.
I'm watching "A Man for All Seasons" and reading along. Three of my favorite movies--this, "The Sting," and "Jaws" have Robert Shaw, and I might have to seek out his other movies.
