let me tell you about my latest obsession... National Parks. (thanks Ken Burns!)
I saw that week long documentary...and wow.
Somehow after thirty hours of watching it on the telly, I got national park fever and we went to Harpers Ferry
Something about aquiring/stamping the park passport and watching it fill up...it GETS me! stamp stamp stamp!
The girls clambered on rocks and trees.
We only ended up with one wet foot. M and I were white knuckling it while they were up on the tree...
Someone may have inherited my apprehension of heights and falling into cold water.
I like the direction provided to the faint of heart...lets just go up that way...
skootching on yer butt up a log...ugh. Scary!
But, closer to the bank, courage returned!
They apparently make leaves bigger in Harpers Ferry. This one was particularly Blog Worthy
Yikes!
I was expecting to find some sort of tree nut the size of an ostrich egg with a leaf that big.
This was my view for most of the trip...I guess I am slow
A sign that echoed what I had been saying all day.
Tweens are notoriously clumsy...especially when they are eating, walking, bickering, looking about, and not listening to their parental unit.
I made this one pose with the sign so I could say...
See I told you! Now eyes in front of you!
Here is M - probably herding us toward the exhibits. Tweens love to dwindle and dwaddle.
I'm getting good at these! My freakishly long limbs do come in handy!
happy newlyweds...
Next excursion...we are going to DC... there are 4 stamps to be had in the district and I am going to get them.
This past weekend I went to Georgetown with these fine ladies...
Tanya, Donna, and Ei
What would we do without our PDAs?
I think it went like this...
Synchronize iphones/Blackberries!
Right, where are we now?
Ooh I got a text!
My favorite text was the "what are you wearing" sent by tanya at many given points during the weekend.
We had a fine old time!
There was yarn shopping, regular shopping, SWISH dinners, and cupcakes...
There *may* have been a small mishap with my lovely cupcakes...but they tasted FABULOUS just the same.
We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in DC...and it was a lovely place to rest and recouperate.
Even with all this cavorting about...I've managed to get 2 items knitted and off the needles.
I finished the 2nd pair of the fingerless mitts - with plenty of yarn to spare!
and I knitted a sweater for my GUS.
This is the Cowl and Howl pattern from Stitch and Bitch...I took a little cowl off the howl. . I also added a hole for his harness for when he takes me for a drag. He has so much energy!!
PS that coke can is empty...but he is always looking at me (see below) and I had M distract him with something that smells tasty.
here he is in his favorite spot..curled up anywhere he can find on me.
Although this morning, he elected to stay in bed with M. When no one is looking, they are best buds.

People in every country receive the home loans in different banks, just because that's fast and easy.
