Me and Liz, in the parking lot after the race. Unfortunately, no one was available to come to the race and take pictures, so we asked a stranger when we got back to the car.
And here's my reward for sticking with it and doing well (32:18, in case you were wondering). A skein of Destination Yarn called "America the Beautiful" - it's a-mazing. And with perfect timing, it arrived today. We also treated ourselves to IHOP after the race (which was fantastic - do much real butter and sugar, yum!)Running isn't the only thing I've done this month. Going back to the last post, Tommy and Sarah came to visit for Memorial Day weekend, where Mason fell in love with Sarah.
It was so funny. Then I managed to finish that spinning I was doing:
Love it. I went to the Riverfront Irish Festival with Bridget and Clan:
Sadly the weather was hot, steamy and slightly rainy - which did not make for good pictures, so that's the only one I took. Kaylee in front of New Barleycorn on stage.Last weekend, I watched the girls.
In honor of the World Cup (which I'm currently watching - USA 0 - Ghana 1 -- not so good).
And there's nothing better on a hot day than the breeze created when you swing. Can't believe how big they're getting - even though I say that every time I post about them.This week, Elliott turned 4. How crazy is that? And to celebrate, he wanted Chik-Fil-A (who wouldn't?) so with Uncle Charlie in for a business trip, we went to dinner.
A few presents - birthday bash is tomorrow. Then Aubrey showed us some of her style:
So cute! A diva in the making. And in the parking lot, we ran into....
Iron Man! Elliott's favoritest thing right now is the helmet. It talks.Alright onto the knitting, as I think that's everything else caught up. I've made very little progress this month - due to that whole running thing, and work. But I finished a very pretty shawl:
Gail (aka Nightsongs). With some very pretty prize yarn from the St. Patty's project. Sadly I didn't take a picture of the yarn before I started knitting it - very hard to photo, it's a mixture of grays and light purples called "Carraig" which is Gaelic for "stone".I started a little sweater, but haven't gotten very far, hoping to get a bunch of it done this week after the sekrit projekt is done for tomorrow.
Using that lovely pink bamboo/wool yarn I got from KNOTS a while ago. And the pattern is Spring Garden Tee. Love it, just haven't had the time or energy to devote to it.And then I started another spinning project -
Also not so far as I would like. Roving is called "Verdigris", and I'm planning on keeping it a single. I've been putting in a little time with those socks I showed last time, but not much, so I'm not bothering to show them. Next time. And it will be sooner than a month, I promise.Off to furiously work on the sekrit projekt, and randomly do a happy dance for doing so well in the race today (can't help myself!)
PS - Tommy and Sarah also got engaged in the last month - congratulations!
