Summer Reunion Fun

This past August our high school class of ... ahem....1970 held a 40th, yes I said 4o years, class reunion. We had 3 days of fun that started off on a Friday evening with cocktails on the beach, the next day a round of golf in the morning and the dinner dance social that evening, followed the next day by a family BBQ for us diehards that couldn't get enough of each other. From all accounts, the entire weekend was a success...everyone had an enjoyable time.
I have not knitted very much this summer but have just recently picked up the needles and am working on a pair of mittens. Never made it to Rheinbeck this year...or MDSW....for that matter. Maybe next year.

No knitting just Nicco

This is Nicco. She is 11 weeks and this photo was taken last week. Do not be decieved by her good looks. She is as mischevious as she is cute...maybe even more so...mischevious not cute.

The House

The house has been finished for over a year now and this is the first opportunity I've had to upload a photo of it. I'm happy with the experiance of the construction and quality. It's far superior to my home in the USA. The builder started construction with NO MONEY down..NO CONTRACTS...just a handshake. Yup...no lawyers either. However,I would not reccomend this practice in the US. I guess maybe I was lucky.

Here is a photo from the Thanksgiving Parade a few weeks ago...anyone look familiar?

Pink Socks & Lulu

New socks designed by me for my best friend. The socks are just the regular 4 needle socks but the design was knit on the fly so to speak and I just copied it for the second one. These were finished months ago and this was the only photo on my computer. These days I knit less due to my work and sleep patterns. I am working on a basic cardigan sweater....its forest green and I hope it doesn't take me 10 years to make like the last one did. In other news, I have a new pet python...Lulu. I got her last April...she was a baby. Pictures to follow....

Neglect

I have done nothing but neglect my blog for quite some time. The truth is, I've been busy with all that happens around me and I got myself caught up in all of it. Some interesting and a lot of it not-so-interesting. There has been very little knitting and even less spinning. Lots of traveling, Canada, Germany, and San Francisco. Nope no pictures. I'm headed back up north to Nova Scotia this week to check on the house and do nothing but rest up for the next round. When I return maybe I'll have something more interestng to write about and a photo or two. In the meantime, if you are into antiques, please check out Bay Cities Antiques in the sidebar.
