We had a bit of a blustery evening last night, walked around the complex and looked for Edward under the full moon. He remains a roamer, and we did not find him. He does return home frequently with burrs in his fur: we need to figure out where the source plants are.
I broke my wheat fast yesterday. It was a very lazy, unmotivated day: after a week of pressure and adrenaline i needed the rest. I don't think i can begin to correlate the lethargy to the wheat. Indeed, we slept in before the trip to La Boulanger. I broke the fast with a sesame bagel, and we received a free mini baguette, flavored with dill and onion. I didn't start the day with protein as usual, didn't finish the pot of tea, and didn't take my antihistamine last night. Plenty of reasons other than wheat to explain lack of spunk.
I called my grandfather and committed to visiting in November/early December. He's been recovering from breaking a leg bone after a fall in late July and should be going home in a week. I saw him a few years ago, in Feb 2007*.
BB called us as she was out canvassing and twisted her ankle. We had a fun speakerphone chat with her.
I'm more than half way done with the scarf i plan to wear with the rust colored strangely cut dress i plan to wear to my SIL's wedding. The dress has short sleeves and the wedding is late November in NC. I don't want to buy a new dress for the wedding: "appropriate" wear in NC is so far removed from my experience that a purchase would likely be a once-worn. Christine's sister is not Southern formal, either, so i think this dress will be just fine. A throw just in case there's a chill is all i need. And shoes: i'm crocheting the uppers for a pair of mohops: you purchase the wooden base of the shoes and you lace ribbons through the loops to make sandals. I've been working on this in copper colored #10 crochet thread accented with ecru. Instead of a ribbon, i'm making something more uppery for a less summery look. (Again, remembering the strictness of seasonal wear on the east coast from my growing up.)
OH! and i spent forever exploring hemp cording vendors on the internet.

Your poor grandpa. What an age to break a leg. :(
I hope the wheat thing works out. Well, I mean, if nothing else, it's tough to have to avoid certain foods. Plus, wheat is delicious.
