Back to reality
Back from a good vacation. Swam, golfed, and just plain relaxed. I was so ready to sleep in my own bed after 7 night on an air mattress. The whole family has colds now too. woo hoo- welcome back!
It is amazing how after a week in a retreat-like setting your house and neighborhood can really look like a dump. As soon as we got off the freeway, the differences were so clear. Vacation: families, nice houses, swimming pools, lakes... Neighborhood: hookers, cars parked on lawns, empty pizza boxes in the street.... You get the picture. How can a neighborhood get so trashed in 2 years? If was fine when we moved in.
Knitting news: I finished the buttonhole bag on the car ride to Oregon (and I was worried I brought too much to do) I started Clapotis #3. There was a yarn store in town and was very tempted with the whole no tax thing but I figured I coudl still get more for my $ if I waited for the Pastimes sale in Sept. My will power is back!!!
