Gone Knittin’

See you later!

A little quiet in the midst of chaos …

Well maybe chaos is just a wee bit strong, but I’m planning to leave for pre-Camp and Session 3 of Knitting Camp on Monday and I’m not even close to being ready! I need to figure out what knitting to take, at least a spindle and some fiber, or maybe the Louet … it’s always [...]

Wednesday

Nora said it was too hot to cook - I agree, so we ate salmon, browned Yukon gold potatoes, and choy mieu with shiitake mushrooms from the other day.

This is all top of the stove cooking. Our favorite way to fix salmon is to pan grill it and season it with Penzey’s Fox Point Seasoning [...]

Eventful trip

It was great to see our daughters and their families last week, but the trip definitely qualified as TME (Too Much Excitement) for a while there!

Apart from taking a minor wrong turn at the very end, the trip went smoothly, in spite of going on what was probably our hottest day so far (95 deg). Toby traveled very well, and found sorts of new things to investigate at every turn, and having kids and a dog or 2 to play [...]

Goin’ to Kansas City …

Pretty quiet evening …

Not very much happening right now. Toby vanished as soon as he heard the whirr of the camera switching on, and my other 2 editorial assistants are both napping. Maggie’s pretty mellow most of the time, but Amber’s frequently anything but mellow. Notice the light switch at the right edge of the right hand picture? [...]
