Monday Q & A On Tuesday

I have been reading these on the Compassionknit blog and this weeks questions spoke to me.

 

*Do you remember a bad sunburn?

Yes, but only from seeing the photos and hearing the stories. See photo above. I was 6 months old. We were staying at my aunt’s cottage in Maine. I was dressed in pants, shirt, jacket with a hood and socks sitting in a playpen under an umbrella. My 3 month old cousin was laying on a blanket in a diaper in the sun. I got fried. She got nothing. The doctor scraped off the blisters with a tongue depressor. That was the first of many sunburns. 

*What is the last game you played?  (card game or board game)

Crimes Against Humanity a while back. 

*Do you have a statue in your house of any kind?

Yes. Dogs, saints, ducks and a moose. They are all quite small. 

*Have you seen the new needle that threads your safety line for lace?

No. I might need one though. 

*Why do they call them point protectors when they are really protecting the stitches from falling off?

I don’t know. I have my mother’s but sadly the rubber is brittle. 

*What kind of knitting or crocheting has dominated your summer?

Camp Loopy all the way! So far two shawls and a pair of socks. There is a sweater on the horizon. 

*Have you seen an ice cream truck this summer?

I did but it was driving in traffic. 

*Cold summer salad preference: Pasta salad or bean salad or fruit salad?

Fruit salad all the way!

*Your favorite summer sandals are made by _____

I’m a sneaker wearer. The only sandals I own are the $1.00 flip flops from Old Navy. 

*Do you have a favorite old photograph taken in the summer ?

Not the one above! Probably one of H & N when we were on vacation in PA. We went about 6 years in a row and I took their photo standing in the same place. It was fun to see how much they’d grown and changed.
