This is what I've been doing!


Don't look too close - it still need another coat on the deck and some touch ups on the rails and fence. Dad and I have been out there workin and it's been great. We will go get some more paint this afternoon.
Went to the best ever Mariners baseball game last night. We beat the Boston Red Socks bad!!
Well, there's been painting and baseball.
And visiting.
And eating.


And gardening.


I have been driving my Dad's truck. I have only gotten into the wrong side of the car 4 times (oh, look, there's no steering wheel!) and only banged my left hand on the door half a dozen times trying to shift with it. But I haven't pulled into the wrong side of the street once yet. Oh, yeah, I almost got run over looking the wrong way when I stepped into the street but that doesn't count. And look what my mom knit - a little sock for the dohickey that unlocks the key from the ignition in Dad's truck. Isn't it cute?



OK - there has been a little shopping


and yes, that is Malabrigo. It was on special at the LYS and I couldn't resist. Plus some soft linen and...



Maizy sock yarn - corn fiber and nylon - and rosewood dpn's. I am going to be soooo poor moneywise next year - rich fiberwise.


Still beautiful and sunny. Seafair starts this weekend but I am staying clear - too many crowds for me. Going to Hoods Canal tomorrow with girlfriends. Can't wait! Ciao.

Working outdoors in the sunshine, eating, drinking, yarn shopping, knitting, and hanging out with girlfriends. 'Tis a charm'd life you are leading, m'dear. Will you ever want to leave?

*hyperventilating* m-m-m-malabrigo? *drools* gorgeous colourway!

Glad to see you are earning your keep and not just whooping it up!

What a wonderful time you're having :D I've lived in the States, and had to laugh about the whole looking-the-wrong-way when crossing a road thing, having done it myself many times. Very dangerous when your instincts are to look the other way!

Gorgeous flowers, and nicely painted porch there :)

And I'm not even going to MENTION the yarn, I'm too jealous ;)

MALABRIGO!! Oh how I love thee. That's a really lovely colourway you got.

You won't want to come home at this rate. You're having way too good a time!
