RV Trip Part 1 – Yellowstone
In August we went on a two week Yellowstone and Tetons RV vacation with friends. We had a great time, and it would not be surprising if we do another group trip. With that said, this trip was not my idea. Wayne and his friends came up with the plan to meet at Yellowstone. IContinue reading “RV Trip Part 1 – Yellowstone”

Slipper Socks and a Thanksgiving Trip
After finishing the brown socks I completed over the summer, I needed another knitting project for fall. After browsing through patterns I had flagged as favorites, I decided to make Slipper Socks by Veronica Van that were designed for bulky yarn.

New Adventures
Years ago when I was in the throes of parenting and working, I was envious of friends and acquaintances who were able to work out a break from normal life for an adventure that was completely outside the box.
