Happy Sunday

I should probably say Happy Father's Day, right? Hmm. I don't think I have any fathers in the readership, but maybe. This is the 5th Father's Day that Hank, my late father, has missed. I'm terribly sad at this very instant, but I'm sure it will pass and I'll get back to my usual sarcastic, make-a-joke-out-of-everthing self before too long. Probably in the next sentence. Tubby is here with me, and she's rubbing against my hand making it difficult to type. I'm just warning all 'ya all - the upcoming typos are Tubby's. And now (so as not to be outdone) Munchie has jumped up in my lap and they are about to get into a fight. Psyched.

I have some sad news to report: All the blossoms fell off my orchid. I'm crushed. They lasted six months! And, two bloomed about two weeks before all of them fell off. I think it is the heat and humidity lately, but I don't know for sure. Now I've got three dormant orchids, and none of them will probably ever bloom again. I'll have to hope that A gets me another orchid this year for a holiday gift. I know I need to repot them, so maybe I'll give that a whirl when I have some free time. Their roots are all good. Anybody have any orchid tips?
Today I'm planning to take a yarn store field trip w/ my friend B. She has to exchange some yarn, and I'm always up for visiting a yarn store whether I need any or not. (Even I have to admit I'm in the NOT red zone at this point.) I'm just about done w/ the I-cord for my twirly skirt, and I'm trying to decide what to do next. I've got two things on the needles right now - a sweater and a lace scarf - but I want to start something new. I really want to start the Janis Joplin Jacket by Jill Stover, but I'm not sure I want to be buried under 900 grams of Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed Chunky in the blazing heat of the summer. That one may have to wait until the fall...or at least the next rainy weekend. I think I'm leaning toward the Everyone's Doing it Shrug by Megyn. My friend D banged one out in less than a week and it looks great. I'm going to do mine in Blue Heron Beaded Cotton/Rayon. If I like it, I might make one for each of my sisters. OOPS! Not much of surprise, is it H & H? HA!
I was going to put up a picture of what I look like in my new glasses, but between the bedhead, the no make up, and trying to capture my own image it didn't go so well and I've opted to keep you all in suspense. Another time perhaps. I have a headache and I think I need some caffeine so I'm going to scoot. Thanks for reading, and say hi to your fathers for me!
