My parents unexpectedly meet Danny

[vaneramos]

My second and third scarves made from Bernat Solo Plum and Adriafil Guys colour 34


Yesterday djjo and I went to Waterloo County Knitters' Fair, largest of its kind in Canada. I bought yarn for another scarf and won a book, Two Sweaters for my Father, by Perri Klass. Danny is notoriously good luck that way, cuddly like a rabbit's paw but less gruesome. We visited themacbear and gr8grizz and saw The Brothers Grimm.

Mom phoned to ask whether she and Dad could drop by today en route to the cottage to see my Maritimes photos. They have met previous boyfriends, but I haven't told them about Danny. I replied, "I have company, but that's okay." I think she understood more than I said and started to back out, but I insisted.

It went well. Emma was boisterous (Danny is uneasy around dogs) but Potvin sat sedately in his cage. Dad, in his peculiar way, called Danny Dan, which I corrected. Mom asked whether Danny was the one who had given Brenna all the beads; many have passed from Bill, I was relieved when Danny took credit.

After they left he helped me finish the purple scarf I started last spring, then begin the new one. I'm envying susandennis and trying to invite cool weather.
