I was going to start the blog with a cute cat picture, but they all had different plans. I bent down to get a nice shot of Dottie in the sun and as I get ready to click the shutter Moxie decides Dottie needs a bath. That might've made a cute picture, but, at the same time, Bob started trying to climb up on me and this is the results:

[/caption]What's worse (and darker) than this horrible picture? Loops' ankle. Good segue, wasn't it? He had a tumble down our stairs on Wednesday. We had him checked out and it was an ankle sprain and should be better soon. He's still limping around, but is back in work so maybe with my days free from nurse duty I'll get some knitting done.
The only thing I've really been working on is my socks. You know, the ones I let everyone vote for the yarn to make them. I'm about half through with the first sock and they're turning out well. See:

I'll be flying direct from Charlotte to Birmingham on Oct. 3rd and be with the family for two fun filled weeks. Hopefully Loops and the kitties can live that long without me. ;)
