On my bucket list was "Knit a sweater." Seriously. I had given myself until I am 70 to get that done. Because, I'm a really slow knitter and I also have a habit of losing interest in large projects.</div>

I finished it earlier in the week, but neither the weather nor available models were very cooperative. I assured her we are interested in looking at the sweater and not her. ;-)</div>

Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. I think it's a pretty good attempt considering it's my first sweater. There is a little wonkiness at the collar (because I made a mistake somewhere), but I worked it out enough I think I'll live. Looks a little big on her, because she is little and I didn't knit it for her. Still, I think she could easily pull it off if she "borrowed" it. It's heavy. And warm. And a little itchy which means we probably won't wear it over just a cami. -)</div>

The joy of actually completing an entire sweater was so overwhelming I was forced to begin another. I will say I am enjoying not having to count with this one. There's something soothing about making row after row of stockinette stitch? I will also say I am in LOVE with this yarn.<br />

When the Cloyd's take a road trip, the front end of the day always presents so many possibilities. (The backend typically presents everyone just wanting to be wherever the final destination is.) I am the most willing to make random stops. Ryan is the least. He humors me.</div>

I remembered, this morning on the way out of town, we forgot to look for alligators. I decided we should look. We found three. Hunting for alligators in the middle of swamp is harder than you would think (or harder than I was thinking?). It requires a constant scanning. Can you spot the three we found? (Hint: Pictures 2, 3 and 4.)</div>

See the bird? He was showing off for us.<br />
_______________________________________________________<br />
<br />
On the way down, we passed one field that had some unharvested cotton. Ryan said he'd go back in that moment, but I told him we'd just look at it on the way back. I think he thought I'd never be able to find that field again considering it was on some back road and could have been anywhere within a 200 mile stretch. Ha. I knew exactly where it was. And, my kids deserve to know how cotton grows.<br />
<br />
Of course we picked a branch off. Mine is safely stowed in the glove compartment so I can take it to school to show the kids. Of course, Jac picked his all apart to free the seeds. Which means cotton is all over the backseat of the car. What you should know is Ryan really LOVES some aspects of my version of good times. ;-)<br />

I don't know how I feel about it. Maybe, I don't feel anything about it. My words of the year always take me somewhere unexpected and this one, without the knowledge it will probably hold a surprise until the end, comes with a lot of possibilities.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105975843099619271.post-3859808915289723902014-12-31T21:31:00.000-05:002014-12-31T21:31:06.420-05:00Savannah: Day #3Can you stand more pictures of this beautiful city?

After hearing and hearing about how the ice cream at Leopold's is ranked #3 in the country, we finally had some. Meh. I guess my ice cream palate is not that sophisticated. It didn't stand out as anything special, to me. That said, the atmosphere inside is outstanding. It was like being taken directly into the 50's.<br />

Of course, around the corner, is a macaroon shop. Had I known, I would have made them choose. But, we stumbled upon it directly after getting the ice cream. You know I bought two.<br />

The Cloyd's are incapable of being near a river without taking the obligatory cruise. They are all kind of the same. They take you a piece in one direction and then turn around to take you in the other. Roundtrip = a mile or two. All of them seem to run on the same theme of shipping with any differentiation focused on what is being shipped. Last time, when we were in Illinois, we learned all about the transporting of corn. Far more than corn gets shipped out of this port.<br />

This yarn has been knit four times already. The first two, I was messing around with some other pattern that I finally decided was not going to work for the level I am at. The second two was messing around with a new pattern and gauge. It's still not exactly right, but I'm going with it.<br />
<br />
I'm guessing I won't knit an entire sweater and read this whole series by the time work starts back up, but you never know...<br />

I keep thinking about how it was "back in the day". When I was the ages of my kids, we lived in Germany. Those were the days you had to drop off your film and wait about a week to get it back. That process was also expensive. Then, if you wanted to share the pictures with the grandparents, you had to mail them. Time delay. I like this option much better. :-)</div>

Curried pumpkin soup with a side of beet greens with white beans and stone ground mustard.<br />
<br />
Because we are thinking about jumping back on the vegan train.<br />
<br />
Because I can't be trusted to feed us real food when we are on some other train.<br />
<br />
Three out of four of us had seconds. One of us didn't even taste it. <br />
<br />
Three out of four is progress.<br />

<br />
What that means is I have put too much on my plate for most of it. I've been away trying to manage all of that. Sort of unsuccessfully. <br />
<br />
I can do that for awhile, but not long-term.<br />
<br />
Lessons learned, right?<br />
<br />
It's time for a change of season.<br />
<br />
Other seasons have also abruptly changed. It's suddenly cold. What? Already? Sigh...<br />
<br />
Yarn on the needles....in honor of the cold.<br />
<br />
What is better on a cold day than new yarn and a pot of soup on the stove? After today, finished homework won't be a part of that answer...for awhile. ;-)<br />

It wasn't exactly raining at the VERY beginning. I think it had drizzled and then stopped. We had already been there for two hours before the first wave of runners and I do know there was a brief period of "not raining".<br />

What you should know about this picture: We volunteered for a 5 hour stint checking gear prior to running. There was a period of time where we stood in a deluge of rain. For 30 minutes. The temp was hovering around 60. Not my favorite part of the day, by a longshot. For at least six hours, we were wet to the bone. And cold. What you should also know is that if you (Well, maybe not you.) stand next to someone who probably doesn't break 105 clothed and soaking wet, it will be readily apparent you haven't seen 105 in awhile. Like 25 years, lol.<br />

Go. This is probably where I should come clean and just say I pretty much walked the course. That's as far as I took it. I was already wet and cold. Someone needed to take pictures. (That's my typical excuse, lol.) And, School starts Monday. I have those herniated discs in my back which pretty much always cause pain. I was nervous about aggravating them further since they frown on teachers not showing up for work. This was half run, half obstacle course. I didn't know what to expect. After witnessing the event, I realize I could have done it and probably been fine. Totally getting a team together for next year. Who's in?<br />

Sometimes, I let people take pictures of me. <em>So there will be proof I am a real, live person and not just some awesome character someone dreamed up. :-)</em> Ryan was nice and brought us towels when we called him. They made nice blankets until they were wet. This is me. 8 hours in. Ready to go home. Still, it was an awesome day. Will do it again. Rain or shine.</div>

This place has been on my list of places to go for a long time. I'm not sure why we've never been over there until today. Maybe, because I thought I would have to drive over the Bay Bridge to get to it? (I'm scared a long bridges like that.) If you haven't been, you should go. It's an easy hike (3.6 miles total) on a maintained and mostly flat path. Scenery includes forest, swamp (Marsh? I don't know the difference between the two.) and eventually a beach on the Chesapeake. Most people go there to hunt fossils and shark teeth. We did a little of that, but didn't have much luck finding any.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMU-44yjKbBup98utzKWq7yLA7yDxcYpS3tk4uQbFtGAdaaJCmVAzmD1q_SgXcnOFT27MGJr8mhc6GqPmXkoxyG6Cy-Gfco4UqdltexL9r3Jr0OAoB2804c1wJCK7dYEos7PdaSqbO49o/s1600/DSC06531.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></div>

I used to be much faster at these sorts of things. Not so much anymore. Totally out of practice. I found this little collection of fabrics (in my pitiful collection) when I was cleaning my sewing room the other day. In theory, I'm making two jackets, a dress and a blouse. We'll see what happens in reality. Just getting the pieces cut is taking me forever. Even with the cat's help. ;-)</div>

Occasionally I wake up with some need to spend the day outside. Today. They (I am blaming it on them.) were slow moving, so it wasn't the whole day. Mostly, we suck at rowing. Probably, because we do it so infrequently. We should do it more. We might.</div>

One of those things about me is I am terrified of water. My mom says I was born scared of it. Maybe everyone thought I'd outgrow it. I didn't. That said, I'm fairly conscious about letting fear control my life. This would be a shot of my wonderful family (most of them) leaning from one side and then to the other trying to make me think the boat would tip over. They are so nice to me sometimes.<br />

Obligatory picture of me. I look kind of annoyed, but whatever. The kids are growing concerned when I die there will not be a visual record of me. Like I never existed. I'm humoring them.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you asked me when we became friends, I wouldn't have an answer for you. Because, I don't know. I can't remember how it happened. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How strange is that? I don't forget anything. Really.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do I remember? Looking across the aisle at church and seeing this lady I had absolutely nothing in common with. She was glittery and princess-y. Me? I'm not. I don't really like any of that stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the surface, the odds of friendship were not in our favor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something happened. Crinkly plastic. Front row. Camp where we listened to music all night long every night for a week while we pretended to sleep on bunks built for children. "Turn left at the pineapple." Giant tissue paper flowers. It wasn't a question for the game at her party, but the answer is passion fruit tea. Venti. With a Splenda. Duct tape roses. Wedding pictures. She sang to me on my 40th birthday. Journals. Sliced mango with salt and pepper. Dinner at Ledo's. Lazy, Sunday breakfast at the Mt. Airy Inn. It happened in there somewhere...we became friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kind where I feel like I've always known her. Maybe that's why I can't remember when it happened?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kind I'd never give up for anything in the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Princess D, I hope you had the best birthday. I hope it was everything you imagined it would be. Love you.</div>

Winding up 500 yards of sock yarn into a ball makes me wonder why all the nice yarns only come in hanks. They should just sell it in balls. Because, if you've ever try to knit something from a hank (without winding it up), you are going to end up with a tangle-y mess. <br />
<br />
Who needs that?<br />
<br />
Fortunately, I learned that lesson a long time ago.<br />
<br />
These yarns are much lovelier in person. Except for the "pearlescent tonal". I'm not crazy about that one.<br />

Not from the perspective I'd like to become Mormon (I would not.), just that the history is interesting. My grandparents live less than two hours from Nauvoo. I spent my first 13 years in that area. Somehow, I'd never been there. Since we'd already seen so many things on this trip regarding the pioneers (including the Mormon's halfway marker to Zion), it seemed natural this is the year we should make it over there.<br />
<br />
No real commentary, just pictures. Mostly, because I don't want to speak out of turn regarding anything. I will say we were there for the better part of a day and only saw a small portion of what there was to see. I'll also say I learned a few things. I did not know Browning was Mormon. I also didn't know Brigham Young is recognized as the greatest pioneer of the U.S. (I do realize I was told this by Mormons, but there is supposedly a statue of him in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol Building also stating the same.).<br />
