Summer Vacation Planned

Well it is official. We are going on a small summer vacation along with a business trip. We just bought the tickets. I am so excited it feels like forever since we went anywhere. We are going to Grand Rapids MI in July. Yes I know it will be hot and humid but it is somewhere I have never been before so I am excited. My brother MrHarley spent over five years in Michigan when I was in high school and we never went out to see him. I sure wish we would have taken the opportunity but now I get to see a little bit.

Now it is time to think of who will take care of the kitties while we are gone. I know my dad will jump at the chance, he loves the girls. But we will have to see as it is the same weekend as my parents wedding anniversary.

Mr80grit made it back from his trip safe and sound late Sunday night. I was so happy to see him. I just don't sleep well when he is gone. I did get 2 1/2 repeats done on the wedding shawl and if the sun is out tomorrow maybe I will get a shot.

Coffee and a little knitting.

Good Morning Tuesday! It is a beautiful stormy day here in Salt Lake. Perfect for a little coffee and knitting. A few weeks ago or maybe it was a month ago, Mr80grit moved the coffee pot from the first floor kitchen up to the 3rd floor master bedroom. That was a brilliant idea if there ever was one! Now I brew my own instead of grabbing it at the local coffee shack. (Sorry...must have more coffee....)



I am back...now on to Mr80grit. Since he was so very wonderful during the last three crazy months of my corporate job I thought he deserved another pair of socks so about a week and a half ago we went to our favorite LYS and I let him pick out his yarn. One color for the thank you socks and one color for his birthday socks. So here is a picture of the 2nd sock of the thank you socks. Better know in our house as HP socks, they are Lorna Lace Shepherd Sport color Flames but because of the pooling the color looks like Griffendor House colors.



Here is a close up of the first sock finished on Sunday. He really, really likes them and gives me all the time I need to knit them as he wants to wear them to church on Sunday. Yes, with his Hawaiian Shirt, Shorts and crocs. He is cute and I love him!
