a peek...


If you're crossing the mountain you need to stop at Zekes for a shake and a cheeseburger
it's been here forever.

at my first Oktoberfest.
I really whooped it up Friday night.
Really, I did a really great job at it.
so well that it took all day to rest up for Saturday.


I learned a few things:

1. Drinking beer out of beer steins is super fun.

2. Doing the Chicken Dance with about 300 other people, super fun.


I don't know who these people are
but they were dressed so awesomely i had
to take a photo...

3. AC/DC played on the accordion, AWESOME

4. Wearing silly hats is an unwritten rule. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego??

5. Spinning in circles and bouncing up and down with a belly full of beer drank from a stein, not awesome.


one of the many many places you could buy your beer. You buy a
souvenir stein and then get your plastic cup full of beer and
then pour it into your stein for consumption!

We had a blast despite three out of four of us who were slow moving Saturday. None as slow as me. We tried to rally for Saturday but fingers of the night before were still holding us back... D and I called it early Saturday night and settled in back at the condo to eat popcorn and watch crime dramas on TV and I finished baby blanket number three. I have since started baby blanket number four.



we ran into our favorite waitress from our favorite Irish Pub in Everett!
hi Ashley!
Leavenworth is a Bavarian Style Village nestled into the Cascade Mountain Range on Highway 2 in Washington. Originally it was a town based around the railroad and when the railroad left and the town was about to go the way of Deadwood they decided to turn it into a village like ones you'll find in Bavaria. Any business that wants to open in Leavenworth now must style the building in the traditional Bavarian architecture to maintain the theme. It's a very popular tourist/vacation area with skiing, snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the winter, river rafting, hiking, mountain biking, golf and mountain climbing in the summer.


The Website works.
It pulled up on my maps.
Sadly though, the phone is disconnected
and Wooly Bully Yarns is no longer open.
I was so close!

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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
