home again…

Back to life. I have to admit, it was a little tough to get back to work, but I had a fun day ahead so it made it easier.
Before we came home, we parked the RV on the street and drove to Astoria for one last fling. They were having their street market and we’d always wanted to see that. It was closing time so we didn’t really get to see much but it was incredible.
There wasn’t a way to really capture it, but there were 3 blocks of little booths on both sides of the street! Plus there were food tents and music. Our little town has tried to get one up and running but evidently has met with a lot of resistance. There have been a few people who have faithfully been there every week, though, and you have to start somewhere!
When we got back to the RV, we ate and thought maybe the little imp better eat the rest of the ice cream before it melted. His favorite food!
I did get a little bit of knitting done…this is my Noro sock yarn and I thought I would knit from both ends. I think I am going to have to stop and re-wind the yarn because it is tangling like crazy on itself.
I really love the colors!
When we got home…we had to go visit that little sweet pea! Her mommy and I started trying on all the hats I have made her.
Hmmmm, not too happy.
This one actually fits! Good thing since Daddy is already watching football!
Last night our knitting group got together and started putting together the relay squares we knit during the Olympics. It is so exciting, 15 ladies knit these and we finished 2 days ahead of schedule!
Last night we got the squares laid out and the strips sewn. Now they have to be sewn together…it was so much fun!

What a wonderful trip you had! I always think of vacations as books of memories. Another volume for your library.
Love the baby hats too! I need to get busy, as fall is coming and our Midwest winters are real nippers!

Keep the “pea pictures” coming! She’s a dolly! :o)
The blanket looks neat. Amazing how all those colors and patterns fit together so harmoniously.
