My niece is totally in love with her new baby. It's very cute to see. She keeps cooing at her, and calling her "honey-bear" and saying "isn't she perfect?!"
My sister and nephew have been visiting from another state. We spent a day at the beach, and we did a packing session at Feed My Starving Children. My nephew wanted me to teach him the finger-spelling alphabet, and I was amazed at how quickly he picked it up! Before long we were carrying on conversations, as he was able to spell fairly quickly and even picked up some signs. I hope he pursues it, because he definitely has a gift for it.
I am reading an excellent/awful book. I won't have it done in time to review tomorrow for Friday Books. It takes place in a Mumbai slum, so you get an idea of why I call it awful.
Because of having company and whatnot, I haven't had much time for sewing. I did get the quilt top for my great-niece put together, but it's not going to be quilted 'til my company leaves. For one thing, I need their bedroom to set up my basting table.
I am enjoying watching some of the Olympics. I like gymnastics, swimming, and diving -- some of track and field as well. Some of it I just find odd, such as water polo and fencing. Also, can anyone tell me why women have to play beach volleyball practically naked??? I just can't imagine that such a tiny outfit is comfortable. It's only comfortable for the males who are watching, I suppose.
Ta-ta for now, my friends. Thanks for visiting.

What a wonderful post. I feel like part of your family. Sweet baby, and the blankee you are making is sweet, too.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs
I agree with you and the volleyball players, however I heard an interview and they said that they cannot move properly unless dressed like that. I guess it also must be because they are built as they are. As a more "traditionally built" woman, I would be jiggling and wiggling around...and very, very self-conscious.
