A Very Full Weekend!

Tweedy_vest
Whew………it’s done and it fits!!  Whoo~hoo!  After working on this vest, I have come to the conclusion that I really do not care to work with scratchy wool very much.  I worked my way thru the black abbey yarn vest a year or so ago and now this one.  Both yarns were ones that I found to be hard on my hands although I do like the end products that the yarns produced.   I just didn’t enjoy the process very much.

Ashley’s vest is soaking in some Eucalan as I type, so perhaps tomorrow I will have some modeling pictures.  Actually the pattern once I got in the groove was a nice pattern to knit.

A Weekend of Dogs……….

Ribbons
So…….how was your weekend?  Ours was chockerblock full of activity. 

First on tap was a dog show held up here in the mountains.  The weather was HOT, HOT, HOT!  Go figure.  It has been a very moderate summer here temperature wise, but on Saturday, it was 90 plus degrees and just as humid.  Not really much fun for people or dogs………..

Skyy_7mos Although, I do have to admit when you come home with all of the ribbons my girls did, it certainly does help make you feel a whole lot better. 🙂

Little Skyy went Winners Bitch, Best of Opposite Sex and Best Puppy in Breed.  Her bigger sister Cleo went Reserve Winners Bitch, so all in all, the trip to the show was well worth a few hours in those hot temps!

And Wedding Anniversaries……

Sunday was a special day for my entire family as it was my parents 50th anniversary.

My parents didn’t want a big gala event, but rather a smaller family gathering, so we had a small party at a lovely restaurant in Newburyport.  The food was fabulous and it was good to see relatives that I do not see very often.

  My oldest daughter put together such a touching DVD covering the last 50 years of our lives together.  Time does have a way of flying by, doesn’t it?

I think my parents really enjoyed their day, which made it extra special for us.

(Yikes………I look at this picture of my dad and yep……it’s the same face that I see in the mirror every morning!)

I hope your weekend was a fun one too!

  1. Congratulations on getting the vest done, now you can move onto something fun and softer on the hands!! Maybe something smooshy?!?!

  7. That is a lovely vest. I think I have come to the same conclusion you did about your vest. I am knitting a lace piece and am not enjoying the process very much. I bit off more than I had time to chew. I guess we learn by making mistakes, but this one will be costly in time; which I don’t have a lot of these days.
    I was very touched by your parents 50th wedding anniversary. My father died when my parents were married 43 years. I am glad I was old enough at their 25th to make a big production out of it. You just never know!

  9. Wow, the vest, the dogs, the party. Excellent on all counts. You’ll have to explain the dog stuff to me, not at all like horses. Or at least what we did. We’ll have time, won’t we? 🙂

  22. Carole sent me. Happy Birthday! It’s my anniversary today, and it’s not easy having a September 11 anniversary, either. I hope you have a wonderful day, and congratulations to your parents, who are very fortunate to have had 50 wonderful years together.

  37. A little parrot(head) told me it’s your birthday today. Happy birthday! And a belated happy anniversary to your parents as well! What a great wedding photo. (Tomorrow is our 26th, which is scary enough. I do hope we have at least 24 more.)

  38. I popped over to wish you a Happy Birthday (because Carole told me to), but found myself hanging out reading your blog for awhile.
    Your Cavalier is STUNNING! I’ve been doing some research on them lately because hubby has promised me one for almost a year now. Where did you get yours?
