Where am I???

Hello? Hello? I have barely been posting, since I got my new computer. I don't like to post without pictures, but otherwise, I won't even post.
I am trying to decide what to knit... it needs to be a simple project--as I am in over my head with taking a class, teaching, overcommitting to my kids' school and community things, etc. But I am anxious to start something anyway. Probably socks-- but which ones??? Anyway, I am writing aimlessly, just to let everyone know that I am still out there. (and on my way to the beach for a long weekend!)

The Southwest

Haven't posted in ages... have been travelling-- back home to the Southwest. Back to blue sky, peaceful fishing, the Great Sand Dunes, lots of green chili, family. It was a good trip!

Beanies for Soldiers

I signed up for SFS (Socks for Soldiers) where we make BBS (big black socks) to send to all the service men and women overseas. I started with the beanies and having been knitting madly--- blue beanies. I just now started the BBS.

Family River Day

No pictures today--- but we had the best family day yesterday. We kayaked on the river with the family. We made many stops to play in the river and play up little creek inlets, where the water carves out the rock and makes big water holes to jump in!! The girls also kept jumping out of the kayaks and floating down the river. Ended the day with a outdoor bonfire, making s'mores and doing the slackline.

more swimming

I haven't been postingin a while. I have been busy knitting beanies for soldiers. I am doin Socks for Soldiers, but they sent me yarn to do beanies, so I have been knitting madly and have made about one a day.

Here are pictures of my littlest girls at their second swim meet. Little kids swimming is just sooo cute!
