Vacations

I neglected to mention that I’m on vacation this week. See, as a public servant, my vacation time goes July 1 to June 30, and I can only carry over one week, so I had a few extra days to use up this June. Librarians don’t make a lot of money but there are some…

The vacation is over and I’m back at work. Ugh. At least it’s raining. Last week was a seriously wonderful week. Dale was at work, Hannah was at school and I was . . . at home. By myself. Let’s take a look at my previously stated vacation goals and see how I did. ~weed…

As my final entry about our vacation on the Cape I’m going to tell you about a little touring that we did. Then I’ll move on, I promise! We visited Falmouth one day and shopped and walked around a bit. We also visited Hyannis one evening. It was okay but Hyannis isn’t as fun as…

Knitting was the only thing I did on vacation that even remotely resembled work. And we all know that knitting is not work so I think you can safely surmise that I relaxed a lot while at the Cape. Here are some photos of the things we all did to relax. Ahhh. The beach again…

Hi there, everybody! I’m home. It’s good to be home, too. In fact, I was ready to come home. I mean, how much sunning, knitting and beaching can one girl take? Please do not construe this to mean that I am also ready to go back to work. Because I am so not ready for…

I’ve been knitting and spinning and relaxing. But Dale? Poor Dale. No rest for the weary.

Here’s something you may not know about me. I have a hard time with reentry. It doesn’t matter if I’ve been gone overnight or for several days, I tend to flame on reentry. Just ask Dale. It doesn’t matter that I’ve missed my family and can’t wait to see them again. If the counters aren’t…

Are you tired of my western adventures yet? I hope not! But if you are, take heart, this is the last post about my trip. Waaaah. We arrived back at Margene’s on Sunday evening about 5 to find Smith waiting for us. He prepared a delicious meal with Anaheim peppers to start, followed by grilled…

So Margene would have made a great drill sergeant. The woman can get a wack of knitters moving like nobody’s business and she had Birdsong and I out the door on Friday morning by 6:00 AM. Which, considering real time for me, wasn’t all that bad. We picked up Ann and swapped some luggage around…

I’ve had blog posts floating around in my head for days, trying to organize my thoughts and stories from my trip west. But, honestly, how do you get all of that into a post or two? I know I can’t. Please be patient as I work my way through my memories and photographs of this…

As you know by now, on Thursday I’m heading to Colorado for Estes Wool Market. Well, Estes Wool Market via Salt Lake City and Margene. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! New sites! New bloggers! New vendors! But you know what’s not new to me? Estes Park itself. I’ve been there before. Yes,…

For those of you asking, here’s a photo of me in my Civil War clothing. Yes, I’m wearing a corset. It’s custom made so it’s not too horrible. Just don’t ask me to run up a flight of stairs or I might get the vapors. And, yes, that’s the Kiri shawl. Dale and I both…
