This last week I was in Richmond visiting my nephew Mateo. And his mother and father too of course, but they become secondary these days – you know the drill. I made the mistake of thinking I could juggle staying on top of work while helping look after a 9 month old. He’s learned to crawl and is just about to walk on his own and insists on checking every square inch out. So I was exhausted after the first day. But great seeing everyone. No good pictures with me and Mateo, but I did remember to take some of him this time. We had fun times going to the park and playing and meeting other kids.
So, as Fred pointed out, I did mix up my dates, again. This weekend I actually have a friends album release party at the House of Blues. The place is an institution and I have yet to make it there, so two birds, one stone and everything. Also think there is something else too, but I’ve startled to muddle the dates in my head. Actually, as I write this, I think I might have three things on Saturday night. At least one will have to be dropped. The good news is I might have time to swing by the Trader Joe’s that has wine and pick up some bottles for my trip over to NY for the film festival the following weekend. Can’t wait!
It’s good to be home and I have to say there’s something to planning a trip where you return Thursday evening. You have one day you pop into work to catch up on things and then you have the weekend to relax and get back into regular life. I did manage to get a project onto the needles for this trip. It’s a Scandinavian cardigan, Drops 116-1. I can’t seem to find a picture I can save, so you’ll have to check out the link here. This one is a bit of risk as I’m trying to use up old yarn in the stash that is out of stock and I don’t have enough for one full sweater. I’m hoping it works out. It may be ¾ sleeves, we’ll see. Time will tell.
