Attention Sock Knitters

You must check this out:http://www.kyarns.com/plymouth-happy-choices-fingering-weight-sock-yarn.html. When I showed Dan and Spencer they also though it was cool so I have ordered it and can't wait to check it out. I think it will be fun to knit with- but of course I will let you know. Wonder what sock I will knit with it? Any thoughts..

Unfinished Objects

I have a lot of these. And Lynne made me promise I would not start anything else until I finished a few of these objects. So Lynne, stop reading now! Go check out some other blogs BECAUSE while I was browsing tonight I came across this:

and because I am like you I must knit this- so I ordered the pattern and am going to finish two UFO's so I can start this! It looks complicated but it is advanced beginner so I think I can handle it. Don't you just love it! And almost no seaming- knit in one piece to the underarm. Oh and I also ordered these sock blockers tonight. You must check them out. They are right up my alley. Have a great week.

Friday Fun

I love Fridays and the past few have allowed us to hit the water. It's not very often we get two in row to ride. Lisa was kind enough to let me ride along. We tried to get a pic of Dan but we couldn't seem to catch him for some reason. Check out the taupe cottage- this is ours with the new siding completed. I think we need shutters-what do you think?

Ugghhh

Does anyone have a problem with black flies? I have these big jumbo jet size ones cruising through the house- they are big and slow and driving me crazy- can you exterminate these suckers? I have no idea.

Manly Man weekend

Check this out. This weekend the men horned in on our activities. Yes, this is my good friend Spencer and yes he is in a yarn shop chatting with some of the girls. This is a Saturday morning knitting group that knits at a Knitters Corner in Medina, NY. As you can imagine I was a bit nervous when Spencer announced he was not dropping me off and coming back- he was just going to come in and wait. Here he is with some yarn and his new friends. I think he may head back up there this coming Saturday- so watch out Jen.

Now this is Coach. And first he was lending moral support but he just couldn't wait to get involved. Here he is showing Ginny how to ice the cake properly. We baked this cake for our good friend Annette and he truly was a fearless assistant.
Here is the finished product. Annette is loves fish so we baked her an Angel Fish.
If the man in your life didn't join you in something you enjoy this weekend- just show him this!
Hope the start to everyones week is a great one.

Lots going on this month. We just returned from a family wedding (Jules and Mark) on the West Coast. What fun we had! Guests arrived from as far as Manchester England, South Africa, and Australia. And we thought Buffalo was far.. This was how our trip started. Notice the smiling faces as they board this small turbo prop plane... This led to...

This upon our arrival. A little rough going into Cleveland. I think Chrissy had a tinge of green, Luckily the second half of the journey(which is what the Europeans call travel) was smooth.
The girls enjoying a cocktail together after a long day of travel.

Julie (mom of the bride), Jules (bride), Missy, Liz, Chrissy, Aunt Marilyn, Mom, Cathy (mom of the groom) and me.
And this was how our trip ended. Good times... and a lot more followed.

Memorial Day

We started our Memorial Day festivities with the parade and ceremony in the town where we spend our weekends. This is our friend Scott Goetze, who was the Master of Ceremonies. Scott serves in the United States Air Force, in Niagara Falls, NY. He did a great job and we all left feeling grateful for the freedoms we enjoy every day of our lives.
So thank you to people like Scott, Adam and Ben who all have served and are currently serving our country. We are proud of you! Happy Memorial Day. And ladies, can you think of anything better than a handsome man in a uniform!
