Favorite Photo(s) this week...

After returning from Pacific Grove Saturday the 13th (I want to return immediately)
I feel as though my week has rocket launched.

We boated all day Sunday.

Had a wee bit of dog drama Monday that carried into Tuesday and has gotten much better... Think Quentin Terentino and a bloody dog toenail and why I'll be scrubbing rugs this weekend.

side note: Senior dogs are not for the faint of heart. They test the hearts strength and resiliance every single day.

Wednesday was a birthday party with friends followed by most of them going kart racing

Thursday was Happy Hour with D's cousin (super fun) excellent food, wine, and company.

Today is Friday and honestly I can't wait to get home and slap my pajama-pants on and just veg the f out.

So here are a few shots from my last day on the Monterey Penninsula followed by a few of day of boating...

Seeing this furry little guy excited me more than I can explain. You should've have heard him rip the muscle off the pier and then crunch it...


Mt. Rainier hiding back there...

Special doggles for cold laser therapy on Gabby

remember that dog drama I mentioned above... I had to break out the first aid kit.

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...
