The Blog...

I just realized it's been since February 13th since I've posted.
Crazy.
I know I've been busy.
I also know that I have felt like I don't have much to say, or maybe I'm saying it somewhere else and by the time I get here I'm at a loss.

Well, lets see where this takes me...

I just spent a glorious week with my younger brothers family.
Family I see maybe once or twice a year. So it really sucks when the visits are over.
They left today and it makes me sad to say goodbye.
I loved every minute I had with Bump and Baby G.
We all met up in Florida at mom's winter house and had a blast.
We spent the day at the beach
We played in mom's pool
We went to the zoo and fed the giraffes.
Covered a lot of territory in 3 days.
D and I fly home tomorrow.

Mom caught a bit of a virus so she's laying low,
D is driving my stepfather to pick something up so I sit here alone.
Sad that my nephews are on their way home and not riding up and down granny's elevator with me,
it's possible that i've poured myself a large & fabulous glass of white wine from mom's wine fridge... Day drinking is what makes vacations feel real. :)

I have a lot of knits to catch you up on and I think I'll do that tomorrow between here and Seattle... We have a lengthy layover in Houston so I know I'll have some time...

I"m going to go pour myself some more wine and soak up some sun before heading back to reality...

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...
