The last month and a half have been pretty eventful for me. My family's yearly vacation actually got split up into two parts, and I was lucky enough that I was able to go for all of it. My grandparents have a small lake home on Lake Carlos that they so generously share with the family every year. Many, many thanks to them (not that they would ever touch a computer, which I respect) for making my summer, every year. And the fall. Nothing beats watching my family members do their own polar bear plunge. Anyway, our vacation always lines up with the Tour de Fleece. This year only part of it lined up with it, so I brought my spinning wheel along for the ride. It was awesome, and I got a lot done, considering all the other things we did. I ended up spinning about 12 oz. and getting about 8 oz. plied up before the end.
I am happy with what I got done.
I just got back laaaaate wednesday night (technically thursday) from the second leg of the family vacation. It was almost two weeks, and it was the BEST. Lots of sun and water for swimming and tubing, lots of games with the family, especially shanghai (possibly my favorite card game), lots of movies for the nighttime (which gave me lots of time to spin!) and even a bit of wine from Carlos Creek Winery. I actually have some color on my skin, and a smile on my face.
I have to de-jungle-ize my garden, and clean the house majorly because the puppies stayed at our house and my husband had to come home a couple times for work, but it's worth it. And he appreciates my cooking and cleaning even more :)
