Happy Birthday Mr. Brown!!

Sadly I have to be at work all day while you and Gabby celebrate at home but have I got a surprise for you on my way home tonight!!

Mr. Brown & Gabby's 3rd and 1st birthday party. From left to right: Gabby, Lucy, Sable, Mr. Brown, and Nellie

Hard to believe that he is 9 years old. He was just shy of 2 when we adopted him. He's probably the quirkiest boxer I've met so far. He loves to lay in the sun till he's hot as anything, he likes a spoonfull of fresh brewed coffee every once in a while in his dish. He'll knock you down for a chocolate chip cookie, and if cake is in the vicinity well you better wrap barbed wire around it because he LOVES cake. He drools the minute you start peeling a satsuma around Christmas and he's been known to eat tomatoes right off the vine. Recently he has adopted my green chair in the living room as his, which is fine, our first boxer did that as well when was older so I guess it's fair.............He makes me happy, he makes me laugh, when I do yoga at home he'll sit on the end of my mat and watch me, when I do lunge squats he hops along beside me, and best of all if you ask nicely he'll kiss the tip of your nose...............he also knows how to eat off a fork, a trick D wishes I never would have taught him but that can't be changed now.

Happy Birthday Mr. Quintus Brown
A McDonalds Cheeseburger is in your future today :)

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...
