Everybody into the pool

Buffy, fabulous sleeve! Reminds me of the color changes in Noro yarn: Kaffe was ahead of his time.

Yes, there is lots of action here, and a bit of it is knitting -- but the knitting is not on my coat. Dear Daughter and I are both knitting sweaters for her, of course. And then one room of the house has been emptied and two looms are now found, cleaned and set up to begin weaving projects.  DD has never woven, and she's determined to try with some of the mohair that I got at the WEBS tent sale in May.

Dear Grandson has a 16-foot donut pool in the back yard, and two inflatable boats with attached squirt guns. And a beach ball and canoe paddle. Lots of stuff for the basement as soon as DG leaves. I guess my part of the coat project is on hold for another two weeks as I enjoy all the frenetic activity that a family visit brings.

I've made two quick trips to the midwest and will soon be making a third. Dear Sister, since she is one in one hundred million,  might be invited to Omaha to see the expert who helped develop the hot chemo treatment (HIPEC) that is now having a bit of success in some circumstances. HIPEC is used in conjunction with the major surgery, but in her case it was thought that she had ovarian cancer so this procedure was not set to go. Now, after the fact, it can't be used. Maybe later. She's up against the age barrier, too. HIPEC has not been used on anyone over 67 since it is combined with the surgery and requires a five week hospital stay.

Tomorrow might be the last day of the heat wave; we're expecting an 80° day on Saturday. Can't wait.
