THIRTY-ONE YEARS

It's a special anniversary at our house today ... and even though we can't afford to go off quite as grandly as we did last year, we will go over to the Empress docks tomorrow for an overnight or two. Today I'm working at the store all day, and Michael has things he needs to do around the marina.

So we've been hanging out together for 31 years -- and we're still having fun, too! I think I'll keep him around for another 31, at least... :-)

On Saturday I taught a beginner knitting class at the store -- six enthusiastic new gals, all 20-somethings, know how to knit now! Well, we have one more 3-hour class, but they all had projects on the needles at the end of the first morning -- I love it! My friend Esther came in to help because one of the women wanted to learn how to use those pegged looms -- and Esther's the local expert, as far as I know, so that worked out well.

I've finished the baby blanket ... now I have to decide if I like it.

What do you think? Does it look a little 'psychedelic' to you? It's weird how the colors pooled!

And the Regia socks are nearly ready to start turning the heels ...


And I'm happy to report that my cold is FINALLY going away!
