So Joelene posted some photos from her trip out to visit me!! We had such a great time. I’m constantly amazed at the quality of friendships I’ve made online. I’m very lucky.

Activities of most note from her visit would be when I hit a deer on the Interstate going 75 miles an hour. Wow, that wasn’t fun. The deer had been hit by another car and was laying in the road. When I moved to the other lane to avoid hitting it, it got up and basically ran into my car. Luckily for me (not the deer), we didn’t hit it head on. The only damage to my car was to the side mirror, which is now totally missing. ooops.

But we did fun things too, we went to Glenwood Springs (I know, I was just there) to swim in the hot springs, ate lots of sushi, shopped down town GJ and found a cute new children’s boutique (see Honor’s new hat below.) And we spent some time at Tangle on Saturday; there was a huge group of people hanging out knitting – it was such a riot. See Joelene’s pictures of the store here.

It was a much needed, very fun weekend.

(And to answer the question why we don’t celebrate Halloween: We’re just not comfortable with the holiday’s pagan roots.)

We may not celebrate Halloween, but we can, however, rock the giant November 1st sale on dress up clothes. Of course, included is the requisite grumpy Eden photo.

It’s been a crazy last couple of weeks. I feel like I’ve barely had a moment to breathe, as evidenced by the lack of interesting blog content. But life always seems to continue wether we have time for it or not. And so there is cleaning and laundry and yarn orders to be placed and knitting classes to teach and children to chase and dogs to pet and husbands to catch up with. (What? Who are you? You seem familiar, like maybe I married you a few years back?) So everything is happening at once, and we just move forward, always forward, watching to see what will unfold.

I did have a wonderful time with Joelene who was here visiting me last weekend. I’d love to share all the fun things we did just as soon as she uploads all her photos as I didn’t take a single one. Of course.

And now I must go clean up the giant mess of dress up clothes. That seems to be my number one supreme job title today – the cleaner up of messes that could have been easily avoided by anyone other than Honor. Oh Honor… at least you’re cute.
