Dsc01259Gracee looks truly repentant, doesn’t she? Either that or sick to her stomach (see my last post). She came through it fine, a little chocolate breath and a brown beard, but no worse for the wear. Maybe it was a case of sympathetic nervous eating for me – yesterday was our annual general meeting at work and my fear of public speaking caused me to indulge in some good nervous eating: a half bag of Miss Vickie’s potato chips, a piece of Starbuck’s green apple cake and a cinnamon bun.

Dsc01261_1I knit few rows on Marina on Monday at knit night, but not enough to take a photo. I have completed two too little baby sleeves, though. The body measures 13 inches, neckline to bottom, and the sleeves are 7.5 inches long. They just seem a bit short. Maybe my kids had long arms, but I’m tempted to add a bit on.

    Public speaking…I do not envy you a bit. I hope it went well for you.

    I’m glad Gracee’s ok – chocolate can be not so good for a dog. We had a bassett hound that ate several pounds that I had in a closet to make hand-dipped chocolates. Fortunately it came shooting out both ends, so she didn’t get a caffeine overdose, but it was a long time before I could eat chocolate again!

    The valedictorian from this past year’s STA class started off his speech by remarking on the fact that a bigger fear than death for most people is… public speaking.
    Glad to hear the chocolates didn’t do Gracie any great harm.

    I love the photo of Gracie lounging under the rocking chair. Is that a birthing chair rocker or what? It has a circle cut out in the wood.

    By the way, I think you should make a watercolor picture of that photo of Gracie and rocking chair. It is precious. You could incorporate the German yellow flowers or sun flowers wrapped around the chair.

    Oh, I’m so glad Gracee’s alright. Chocolate is toxic for dogs. The look on her face there is “Love me?”
