Restless evening posting

Grumble. I left my sewing machine at the boyfriend's. So I figured I'd pin the bias tape waistband on to my red skirt- got to get it finished! It's pinned, I went to take a picture, and found I'd left my camera in the car. *sigh* I'm too tired or bored to do laundry, too awake to sleep, too restless to read.

Here are some pictures from Maine, instead. My sister, her husband and son, my brother and his wife, and I decided our "big gift" for Mom & Dad's 40th anniversary would be us all home at the same time. We survived, and got a lot of work done.

It was fun, although the sewing I thought I'd get done in the evenings was put aside in favor of rest and reading. My nephew, suddenly huge, loves to read and most evenings that week were spent snuggled up together reading. I learned a lot about fire engines, animals, and have a whole new appreciate for how valuable those National Geographic books Mom & Dad bought us were. J's near-favorite, and definitely everyone's favorite to read to him, was the Sesame Street Library. We shamelessly pushed J to "go ask Grampy to read the Count in a funny voice!"

I miss Maine. Just a lot, just enough so everyone can notice it...
