Shop Dog.............

Mr. D has a new member of his Pit Crew for the upcoming 2011 racing season.......she brings a lot the table in the Race Shop (garage) and has proven to be an invaluable addition to the team. Her duties include
1. Checking the tires
2. Looking under the car for wayward objects (balls)
3. Sniffing all around the car for any odd odors
4. Making sure our sticker guy stayed on task, which I'm sure Tracy appreciated
5. She also gives unsolicited advice (growls)
6. Every morning when I go down to the Laundry  Room I am required to let Shop Dog into the Race Shop so that she can verify that all is well with the Race Car. She hasn't brought BigBaby (her hippo) into the Race Shop yet but I think she senses that it's not a place for toys but for serious race business. (uh-huh)

Sadly the Nasturtium sock wasn't working right for me which is odd because it has in the past, oh well, I ripped it out and was going to do a long scarf with a ruffle down one side then realized that I didn't want to do that, so that got ripped and now I am starting another Multnomah Shawlette by HelloKnitty. It's a nice simple meditative shawl to knit because the first half is relaxing stress free garter stitch with a few yarn overs thrown in to mix it up. Let me say this, Dream In Color, you make a fine yarn that has withheld my ripping it out 4 times and it still knits up as great as it did the first time, It's not my style to rip out so many times in a row without hurling the yarn across the room but I'm in love by the sparkle and by the feel so rip it and knit it and eventually something will spring forth, maybe something I can wear for my birthday :)

P.S.
all the books I've read on Boxer Behavior have noted that Boxer like a good bit of work to do, Apparently Shop Dog is the work that Gabby likes.......

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...
