Knitting & whingeing in Abalama-ding-dong


Back from the travels………

Hey y’all-got back LATE last night from those “West Virginia hills….how majestic and how grand”.  We’re tired but safe and my oh my – so many things to write about:

  • Homeschool Kid receives an eye injury
  • “vacationing” with the in-laws sans Studmuffin
  • the Augusta Festival and my resulting depressive tendencies
  • RHIANNON GIDDENS!!!!!
  • A blog name change for the Homeschool Kid
  • the Force of Nature goes fishing
  • shawl frogging adventures

…to name just a few.  PLUS there’s YARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yep, I got to visit a couple of yarn stores and bring some of their yummy yarn back home to stay with me.  There WILL be photos because amazingly enough, we arrived home with both the camera AND the charger – AND I know where BOTH of them ARE.  I gotta celebrate the victories, y’all.

For now though, I think I’m going back to bed, so I’ll leave you with this:


Some photos….

While in West Viginia, we went to a small amusemnt park called Valley Worlds of Fun.  It’s become kind of a regular stop on our WV soirees.  Since it was just after our 20th wedding anniversary, I inveigleld my husband into getting some pictures taken of the two of us – in a photo booth!

Here they are:




We didn’tfit very well into the booth, butit was fun and I like the pictures.  :o )


Back in town and behind again

Didja miss me?  I’ve been in “Wild, wonderful West Virginia” for a week visiting my husband’s family ans spending piles o’ money.  We also have a NEW digital camera (hear the angel choir sing a heavenly ‘AAAH!”) so I will have pictures of the new stash enhancements veddy soon. Of course, there’s piles of yard work that needs to be done and I need to get curriculum together for school, so I’m way behind again.  Stay Tuned……
