Here are some photos from my recent trip – photos I meant to post while on the road (if I hadn’t left my camera cable in a hotel room…) This is a water tower in Ypsilanti, MI. Apparently cities that start with a vowel are turn-ons. I stopped at a Steak n’ Shake, and ordered…

I’m sick. I’ve been up since around 4:00 paying homage to the porcelain goddess, and she’s done NOTHING to help me. So much for religion. THIS is why I shouldn’t have come home to all those kid germs (and the multiple graduation ceremonies, and the trip into NYC, and my already compromised immune system due…

So why don’t I write? I don’t call, I don’t write, I’m beginning to feel that I don’t love me… Yesterday was a city day – and lucky for me it was a relatively cool one. My editor at Potter and I had lunch (VIEWS OF CENTRAL PARK!) and then went over the projects, projecting…

Applying makeup in Pittsburgh at Knit One. Did I mention that the shop has TERRIFIC light? Once again, I apologize that this is such a short blog entry … I’ve been knitting like a maniac, writing up patterns, rechecking patterns, other stuff. I have so friggin’ much to do and it IS getting done, but…

I’m insane. It’s amazing to be home – as I climbed into bed last night Gerry was sleeping (he goes to bed a few hours before me) and I just thought about how lucky I am to have such a beautiful and healthy family. I’ll be knocking wood all day… Being home centers me, I’m…

The last few days are a blur of activity, yarn, old friends, new acquaintances and knitting! Oy. One would think I’d been drinking… I was based at the Artyarns booth – I love helping Iris and Elliot with their yarns, I find them very inspirational and I just love Iris so much! I’m almost embarrassed…

On the way down from Ann Arbor to Indianapolis, I stopped in Auburn to visit the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. This had special significance for me as in the late 60’s my dad managed the Gamemaster Coat Company, which was then housed in the old Auburn Cord building. This same building has been refurbished and…

First of all, yes – I was wrong, Girl of the Limberlost IS set in Indiana. I got mixed up, sorry. The car’s packed, I’m ready to head down to Indianapolis for TNNA and some good ol’ schmoozing and boozing (let’s be honest…) and some prime knitting, too! I’ve always wanted to open a yarn…

The car is being towed… But the good news is today I picked up the car in the afternoon and the entire damage (to me) was $0.00. Chrysler didn’t get off so cheaply, but that’s why we love the warranty! I woke up surrounded with a green veil in a comfy bed, with a cat…

Although I promised my husband I’d stop by Hell, Michigan today, I didn’t. Apparently I didn’t need to, though, to make my 6/6/6 experience complete… The day started magnificently – I awoke in a simple and cheerful room in a peaceful B&B on Mac Island (Haans 1830 house) and had a delicious breakfast, 2 cups…
