Queen of the Road The mini van is packed up, we’re ready to roll – all we have left to do is throw in the daily stuff (toiletries, etc.) and pack in the doggie! Friends have been contacted about caring for our kitten (THANKS Holly, Deb & Nicole!) and we’ve got the TV set up…
Trip Fever We’re all rarin’ to go – we have TRIP FEVER! We want to be ON THE ROAD. Road trip with the kids, too fun (I’m delusional.) I have a bunch of fun car knitting to take with me, plus we got a very small TV at the Odd Lot Store for $100 –…

Knitters spend a lot of time (and money) gearing up for the holiday…
WOO HOO! I PASSED THE NJ STATE REAL ESTATE LICENSING EXAM! I am so excited – at 4:30 I walked into the testing center, at 6:30 I walked out $60 poorer, but with my RE License in hand!! I cannot BEGIN to tell you all how relieved I am to have passed. And it’s also…
