Yep! We are home. We were dirty. We are happy to be home! Watching DVDs that were waiting in our mailbox and doing laundry now that everyone is clean.
Eric took lots of pics – so I’ll be downloading them (tomorrow probably) and uploading soon. Glad to be home…heading back to the comfy couch, knitting and movies! Man, I love technology and my comfy home! 😉
Well, as you read this – we are camping! Trying out our tent camper. Hoping it works for us – just excited to be off the ground! lol
While camping, I’ll be knitting of course – but also J3 has expressed interest in knitting and seems to be determined. At least he’s determined that I not forget HIS needles and yarn! I cast on a blanket for his “Baby-uh” a boy doll he’s had for a long time. I decided to just concentrate on the ‘flow’ of knitting so I’m putting my hands over his and we are knitting it English – very new experience for me.
Well, I’d better go….just waiting for Dh to get out of the shower so we can go! I’ll post pics when we get home. TTYL!
A couple of weekends ago, while J1 was camping, DH, J2, J3 and I went to my sister and BIL’s house in the Foothills. There are TONS of wineries around them and we’ve gone wine tasting once or twice. My dad and stepmom and my aunt and uncle came up too. We had a yummy brunch first! My sister’s friend, Tamara, also joined us. My BIL stayed home to play in his yard (his form of therapy) and watch the kids. Dh and my dad were the designated drivers and I can’t even tell you how many wineries we visited! The pictures below are from one of the last ones we visited.
This is all of us. Dad, Connie, Me, Eric, Beth, Ellen, & Uncle Steve
Eric and the view
Me and the other view
20 years – still in love! 😉
J2’s Hat, started April 16th, 2007, finished April 18th, 2007
Pattern: Just Your Basic Beanie
Yarn: Woolease
Needles: Addi Turbos, size 7
Pattern Notes: J2 chose the colors and the pattern. Once I talked him out of red and green (too Christmasy for me). 😉
Would I knit it again? Definitely. This is the pattern I use for all the charity hats I do. And, I’ve done them for my DH and all the boys. This is J2’s replacement hat! :/ Grr We’ll find it eventually I imagine. Finished just in time to take camping – he’s thrilled it covers all his hair and his ears. lol
