Good to be back home!

I had a whirlwind trip through Virginia & West Virginia then back home to New Jersey – all in 5 days.

Friday I passed through Harrisburg, PA and stopped at The Mannings for some chenille, needles and a book or two. I’d never been there, and if I felt I had more time I would have sat on the porch and knitted for a while! But I had to get down to my friend Lynn’s to see her and her great family AND the amazing new baby Llamas that she has! Two little ones (and another on the way) and a very large male who seemed mystified by me.

Saturday I left for the Knitters Review Retreat and spent the day there knitting, meeting some extremely nice folks and schmoozing. Sunday was on to WV to visit my cousin Jan, her brother Tommy (see below) and other family that I haven’t seen in months – some for years! Monday I stayed in one place, then returned to NJ on Tuesday in time for dinner and the Simpsons with the kids and Gerry. So much driving – and all the way I listened to my Real Estate Class CD’s.
