Keeping my promises

Look what I found, spotty internet service! I'm not sure how long it will last, but for now at least, here I am with the first of my summer photos: the lovely view as I ate breakfast over the Tyrrhenian sea. Isn't air travel incredible?



Since I find sleep impossible on a plane, I also got some crafting done in the air and knitted up two soakers (wool covers to go over cloth diapers - yes, the name kind of grosses me out, too) for my new niece or nephew. As far as things that are made to be peed on go, they are pretty adorable. I haven't seamed them yet, but I'll try to get a picture up when I do.

Is there anybody out there?

Hello (o-o-o-o...)? Anybody here (ere-ere-ere-ere...)? *stirs up dust bunnies, wipes away cobwebs* I guess it's been awhile; this poor little blog has been sadly neglected. As you long time readers have probably guessed, it's that time again - archaeology time. I head to Italy tomorrow morning, will hit Greece in mid-August, and return to the states just before the first of September (hopefully in time to witness the birth of my newest niece of nephew - stay in there until I get home, little one!). This year, I'm really hoping to write at least a short post once a week, even if it's just a photo and a few words. Of course, that might not be possible, depending on what my internet situation looks like. We'll see! I feel like I've lost my connection to the blogging community in the madness of the past few months, and I don't want to further distance myself by spending another two months in silence.

Just in case I don't make it back to this space until the fall, have a wonderful summer, everyone!
