Okay. That was fun. Way fun. Lots of fun. Did I say it was fun?
Kristie and I had such a marvelous time at TNNA that I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had. We talked to tons of fabulous people such as Kaffe Fassett, Cookie A., Kaffe Fassett, Kristin Nicholas, […]
It seems like years since I posted in my blog. But you see, we were out of town all last week. Just got back yesterday afternoon. We were so exhausted from driving more than a thousand miles in two days (actually 1,086 miles/1,749 kilometers), that we were in bed and asleep before 9 pm.
I […]
I drove over to Kristie’s house on Saturday morning. I was so excited about seeing the Yarn Harlot that day that I completely forgot to take my new yarn and my finished shawl for her to see. What a dunce. I did remember to get her blocking wires back to her. That’s something, anyway. I […]
Oh. My. Goodness. I noted an interest in participating in a tea swap over on Ravelry early in the summer. Didn’t hear anything about it for quite a while, then completely forgot it until I got an email message from Christina. Seems we’d been paired a month before, and she hadn’t realized it, either. Goodness. […]
Watching the ponies
Our good friend Mikki is a member of Sons of Italy, and as such, invited us to join the group for an evening at the races at the Los Alamitos Race Course. For a reasonable fee, we got preferred parking, entrance into the Vessels Club, and a tasty dinner. In addition to Mikki, […]
I’m sure you’ve noticed by the distinct lack of posts of late that I’ve been out of town. Yup. Once every ten years Dave and I go up to Ogden, Utah to celebrate the fact that he graduated high school and to see old friends. Last weekend was the celebration of having graduated 30 years […]
Ouch
There’s this molar. The one all the way in the back, lower left. It’s been a little finicky for a while. You know. A little sensitive to heat and cold. Some days more than others. I knew that I’d have to get it taken care of before too long, but as such things go, I […]
… we were on vacation! Woohoo! It was loverly being away. Dave and I talked about it before we left—except for two funerals (me), and one funeral and one business trip (him), this was the first time in a year that we’d gotten away. At all. Yes, it was way too short. But it was […]
Hm. That doesn’t sound quite right somehow… Oh well.
There is snow up there, though. See? The first photo was our first glimpse early Sunday morning after a very cold Saturday here in the southland. It actually hailed in a number of places, including on Dave when he was out running errands in Orange, and […]
Most people I know who drive to and from the San Francisco Bay Area from here (Orange County and Los Angeles) go up Interstate 5 (”the 5″ to those of us down here), and hate it. Even my wonderful hubby thinks it’s totally boring. I don’t. I love it. I love the fields of crops, […]
