One of the crowd

Well, I've always known that I was a bit slow, but....I had no idea......

I am waaaay behind the craze, but I cast on for Clapotis today using Briar Rose "Wistful" in the raspberry/green/blue/gold colorway (I got two different colorways and am alternating the skeins -- there are 500 yards on each, so I hope to make mine a little larger, since I am a little larger.....sigh)

I will post pics as soon as I can get the camera from the teenager....

One note about the Mother's day banquet at church -- after lugging my china, crystal, depression glass pieces, arranging flowers, I had a beautiful table. For me and Natalie. A table for eight -- and just the two of us. We both said it would have been more fun to do it at home. Frustrating you say? I'll say.

Back from Katrina ravaged land

I returned Wednesday from Gulfport, Mississippi, where I was part of the church's mission team. We spent five days working, helping homeowners make repairs to their Katrina damaged homes. It was amazing how much work is still needed even after 2 years.



I took knitting with me, but really didn't have much time to work on it. I have started the Charlotte's web shawl, and the Koigu is simply amazing to knit with -- the colors are simply fab-u-lous!



Boo missed me while I was gone (the dd and dh did as well) -- it was really sweet! Here's the pic I got while down there.





Tomorrow is the Mother's day banquet/luncheon at the church -- with fancy table settings and all. Should be nice.
