The Little Adobe: part iv

Okay. I know I've given you a lot of scenery.
Tons of scenery.
Stunning scenery shots.
Well...
I can't say that you aren't going to get that today as well but I did pull some photos from my iPhone so I'll mix it up a bit.

Also, we're headed to Big Sur today so I'll apologize in advance of the photos you'll get tomorrow. Maybe I'll be the weirdo who starts taking photos of her food so you guys don't get bored.

Oh and I am a knitter. Why are there no photos of yarn? I'll work on that too...

We took it fairly easy yesterday. Cruised over to Asilomar State Beach. Beautiful walking paths along the rocky coast that lead to a beautiful expanse of white sand beach and crashing waves.

And dogs.

Mom was in big dog heaven. Not a dog passed her that didn't get ear scratches and love from mom.

Let me tell you guys a not so big secret. Pacific Grove and Carmel are dog towns. They are everywhere and I would say 90% of them are rescues.

We then headed onto 17 Mile Drive to visit moms long time friend of 50 years. We visit Ruth every year. She's beautiful. The perfect lady with the best sense of humor. I love her.

Fresh strawberries and sweet peas that we picked up at the PG Farmers market.

Swung into Carmel Road wine room in Carmel and picked up the Barrymore collaborations of Rose of Pinot Noir and a Pinot Grigio... I drank the whole bottle of Rose. It was amazing.

one of these days. one of these days i'm going to learn that i need to either sunblock where i part my hair or remember to bring a hat. Well I had to buy a hat after I burned my scalp. I found the perfect one in Carmel. Sharks, waves, and my name.

Moms La Crema Pinot and my Barrymore Rose of Pinot

When we were kids cruising the beaches in Washington we would run up to the big pieces of kelp and pop those bulbs and laugh... if you hit it just right they make a glorious popping sound...

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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
