Big Camera

A few years ago D bought me a Fancy Camera and I've used it a few times but for the last year I've left it in the cupboard. The other day I decided that it had been long enough and it's time for me to get used to using it and taking some really great photos...especially at the race track because the iPhone wasn't cutting it anymore...plus with the purchase of our new boat I'm thinking I'll have some great photo opportunities! Especially this fall...


a year of love taps as I call them...all the different paint transfer...


My menu board...Since it was the fair we weren't too elaborate!






The brothers during Practice...D leading Mark around the track.






click to embiggen...the best part of the photo is what I didn't see and that is the spider web...



All the people pictured are a group of the greatest friends we have....
The sense of community we've brought to the track makes it so much more than just a race day, it's like a family reunion each week full of laughter, fun and racing...

Next weeks menu is alread in the works. I've kept promising my Italian Beef and since I only have two races left I better step it up!

xoxo
Happy Labor Day!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
