Just a few memories

This is where I started the Cliff Walk which was .5 miles from the hotel I stayed in. I went on it 2 time. Once the whole way--8miles by myself and 3 miles of it with Bud

This is the lawn side to the Breakers, 70 rooms, built in two years. This was thier summer home, those little windows at the top where no air can get through is where the 40 servants stayed. Bud, Dane and myself toured this house. I can't believe they built the thing in 2 years.
The real reason I flew out- he cleans up good. Mike and I are very proud of him. He is driving back to Colorado as I type. Until next time.

Easter Flowers

Mike gave me some pretty Easter flowers so I am trying to capture them with my art. The new books Emily and Jerry gave me money for (my birthday) should be arriving soon. That will help lots. Suffer through these pictures. Until next time.

I now have new TOYS!!

I don't claim to be any sort of artist but I thought some of you might like to see my new toys--36 new colored pencils. Today was the first time we used them in class. I need to buy some flowers so I can practice, it has been great fun for me. I promise not to bore you with to many of these budding art photos.

OH DEAR

Oh dear, I knitted like crazy for 4 weeks to finish this lace project to wear to our son's graduation from Officer Candidate School in RI. I leave on the 15th. The back of my cable sweater is finished and I am now casted on and started on the front. Those pink socks are for a friend of our daughters. She has cancer so pink is perfect. I found a lady in Colorado Springs with a sock knitting machine and for a very small fee she will take my mounds of sock yarn and make something people can wear. That is great because I am knitting my stash yarn this year.
The color is not very good in this shot but it shows the pattern. I am enjoying knitting this and hope to have it done when the snow flies next winter.


Here is a close up of the lace project, there are trees in bottom of the stole. One row (it is my first lace project) look like the trees were born and raised in Wyoming:). I am planning on getting that sailor to stand still for photos with his mom, so look for those in my next post. Until next time.
