So I'll go back - Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, I was off with some knitting pals to the Great Lakes Fiber Festival in Wooster. Well, that's what the day was supposed to be about, anyway. Instead, it seemed as though we ate our way through Stark County. But it was such a great day.
Funny that the only picture I took at the festival was of the biggest fluffiest angora bunny they had. Seriously - I'm really thinking that my niece and nephews might enjoy a few of these.... just sayin....

Bad lighting - but that was the whole group of us.
The best part of the day was getting to meet a pal that I've known on Ravelry for the last couple of years - Michelle - who was actually my "mentor" when I first started the Harry Potter craziness. It's awesome to meet virtual friends - and it seemed like we had known each other for ever. Can't wait to get together with her again, maybe with some actual knitting.After dinner, we were on a mission to find the sometimes elusive Lerch's Donuts truck. Alicia and Beth both lived in Wooster and had been going on about how we just had to have some donuts. These particular donuts.
Lucky for us, it was where it was reported to be, and the donuts were excellent. I was even nice enough to bring some home with me. And even after that, we ended up at an ice cream/dairy place. And it was excellent as well. So not WW - but so good.Last Saturday morning was the last soccer game.
Good times. Poor kiddos were so hot though. I mean, if a bunch of 4 year olds start asking for breaks, and not wanting to run and play because it's too hot, you know that it's hot.Tuesday was Mom's birthday. Charlie happened to be in town for business so we made our way to the Indians game.
Can you see that?
Is that better? Yep, texted a message to be on the big JumboTron. So cool.
See how close we were to Grady?!
Am I the only one that finds it awesome that the Ketchup Hot Dog wears the Wild Thing glasses, complete with skull and crossbones at the bridge? Love it!
There wasn't a whole heck of offense, but the Indians got just enough for a 1-0 win over the Twins. And yeah, my brother caught not one but two BP balls out in right field.And the plans continue this weekend, today Mom and I are off to the Riverfront Irish Festival (so excited!) and then tomorrow we've got Broadway Series tickets to "Next to Normal". Not to mention the fact that it's an all-girls weekend because Dad is off in NJ living it up.
I'll do a knitting post sometime in the next few days, even though there doesn't seem to be a lot of that going on right now. Too engrossed in George R.R. Martin books right now (seriously, I couldn't put "Storm of Swords" down!), not to mention I've got way too many projects going to make noticeable changes.
