day 2

Filed under my life by sherriknits at 7:38 pm on Sep 03 2008

We woke up to wet streets and lawn. We didn’t actually see any rain, but we must have just missed it. It looked for a long time like it was going to rain more but it never materialized.

We decided to venture out a bit and drove down the coast. I visited a yarn store hoping to find some Sublime. I haven’t ever used it but now that I have a granddaughter, I think I will have to. They didn’t have any but I did find some yarn.

3 skeins of Sirdar Snuggly baby bamboo and 2 of Rowan Handknit Cotton. Excuse the poor picture. It was windy and too sunny to get anything decent.

I cannot believe I forgot to show you a picture of little Sweet Pea in one of my most favorite things her mommy used to wear.

I love it as much today as I did when she wore it. Funny thing, they were both born the same time of year, but this little girl isn’t going to get to wear it in the winter like her mommy did. She’s too long…but they’re using it now. It’s white plush with wide satin ribbon.

As we headed out this morning, I started thinking about the bag I saw yesterday. As we approached the intersection of the store I found it in…I suddenly wanted it and asked hubby to pull in. I love it!

I realized today that I am going to have to train myself better. I have been remembering to put a bag in my bag so when I purchase things, I can use that instead of taking a plastic bag. Well…I had 2 bags inside of this bag and the three places I bought something, I totally forgot. Good intentions aren’t going to make much of a difference.

On our way along the Columbia River, I finally got my camera out quick enough to snap a picture of the little church I think is so cute.

I noticed today that I saw 5 old fashioned churches with steeples like this. It was fun to notice.

I had to do a little bit of shopping for baby. They are in need of some tiny little pants. Happy to oblige.

Pink and brown ones. I could have gone nuts but I didn’t. I did buy something else for a shower coming up, though.

Then I went shopping for the little imp. He forgot his slate at home and he also forgot a few other things. Actually, now that I think of it, next time I go to the store I’m going to buy him a clipboard and tablet…that will make him happy.
