The Little Adobe 2016: Part 1

Mom and I arrived back in PG Saturday evening.
A quick hit at Nob Hill Grocery, a six pack of wine, some snacks and we were set.
We settled in quick enough. Had a glass ~~three glasses~~ of wine on the patio and then strolled down to the Beach House at Lovers Point for dinner.
The beauty of Pacific Grove and the Monterey Peninsula is hard to describe.
Good thing I am taking a slew of photos...

The house we found on AirB&B is so amazing. The owner, though we've only texted and emailed is wonderful. We talk often and it's mostly me gushing about how much we love her home. If mom and I ever bought a house in PG it would be one of these Adobes. Preferably this one.

Today? We're headed to Carmel-by-the-Sea... Carmel will be in Carmel.
Things that happen in Carmel
1. My name is everywhere.
2. I say 'what' a lot.
3. I always buy myself a shirt that I'll never wear

Here are some photos so far.... Enjoy

ps I love the hydrangeas in PG and the rocky coast line. You'll be seeing a lot of both over the next week...
pps I will be snapping a ton of stuff. If I learn how to finally use snapchat I'll start posting there otherwise you can seek me out on instagram (i went private on there again but please send a request and I'll accept if you aren't a troll) my snapchat is carmelknits but like i said... i don't know how to use it very well LOL

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...

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...

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
