Memorial Day weekend has always meant one thing to me...
listening to (and later watching) the Indy 500 with my Daddy.
He was a veteran, and insisted on the proper respect for ceremonies
honoring his fellow service members....but when the green flag dropped,
it was all about the racing!
Yesterday's race was wonderful. He would have loved it.
For the first time since his passing, I didn't weep, just missed him
and tried to honor HIS memory.
I spent most of the race unraveling this
(the cardigan adaptation of Klaralund)
so that I coould reuse this fabulous colorway
in something else.
I thought I'd have lots of muted commercial time to
UNWIND...but some very clever geek came up with the side by side
concept, and I hardly got ANYTHING done.
We're going to a Memorial Day service this morning and then perhaps
a picnic, depending on the Daughter bird's tolerance for crowds.
The Boybird will be at a cookout with HIS buddies, so we'll see him
on Thusday, as usual.
