Guess I'll have to add some content

[bunrab]

LoudTwitter seems to be dead for the moment, so I guess I'll actually have to type in a post! Of course, the main thing on my mind right now is patriotic music - we'll be playing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, in various locations, and I will be heartily sick of Battle Hymn of the Republic before we're done.

Let's see, photos:


The older I get, the more I look like my dad. This is from last Friday, when we went over to Delaware to visit my folks, because my brother J and his family had flown in from CA to see them. So we had a small gathering of those family members who were nearby and happened to be free on a weekday, which came to 10 adults, 10 children and 1 teenager, and we all invaded the Smyrna Diner, which coped pretty well. Don't worry, we left them a really good tip.



And here's my brother J, and me, with his wife and their two daughters.

And here's all the tweets you've missed since LoudTwitter went down:

Ha! I've eaten at the Smyrna Diner. :-) Usually on my way to or from somewhere downstate. Also, someone who was a really good friend of mine about 1988-92-ish was from Smyrna.

Lovely nieces.

..I like the posts better anyway. Isn't that the new sweater you knitted???

[bunrab.livejournal.com]

Yes - it's quite comfortable; I will have enough knitted and crocheted tank tops to completely live in them, by the end of this summer, at the rate I'm going - AND it's using up lots of old yarn (some new, too, but inexpensive and getting used as fast as I buy, when I am buying new stuff.)

I wound up giving one of the sweaters to my sister S - it shrank more in the wash than I expected; it was one of the ones out of craft/kitchen cotton - so since she's 4" shorter than I am, it's pretty much perfect for her now; the one with the blue and aqua colors zigzagging on cream.
