The Boyz Are Back In Town...

Actually, we got back with the boys last Thurs., but I had problems with internet service being down for a few days and was also busy doing errands with the boys, so today is the first time I have had a chance to post. And this is my second attempt (the internet service ate my last post. We made a 2 day trip back to Wy, 2 days there, then 2 days back home - over 2,000 miles round trip. It sure feels good to have the boys back, suddenly I feel like cooking again! And there is food in the fridge! Basically, I was just feeding 2 people this summer (hubby and I) since Son #1 has been working fulltime this summer and hasn't had many meals at home lately.

I have borrowed an idea from the Yarn Harlot and others, and took a travelling sock with me. Isn't there a KAL out there for the "Summer of the Travelling Sock"? Maybe I should have taken pics of this sock while I was in TX!

Here we are in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at the park in the center of town. They have these arches at the different entrances to the park made entirely of antlers. It just occurred to me to wander if they just found these antlers laying around, or if they obtained them from hunters. My husband (who happens to be a native of Wyoming) assures me that they were gathered from the Elk reserve near Jackson Hole.

You can barely get a glimpse of my knitting bag that I made last summer. I love that bag and got the kit for it from Fonz and Porter's "For the Love of Quilting" magazine a while back.

The sock and I (and hubby) also went through Yellowstone National Park. The only wildlife we spotted in the park on the way to Granma's house were tourists (haha), and buffalo that were way off the road. This is a pertinent comment as we usually have to slow for Buffalo that loiter in the middle of the road, or tourists that stop their cars in the middle of the road, going both ways, completely shutting traffic down so they can get a close up picture of the aforementioned buffalo (or elk, or even bear) and drag their kids out of the car so they can get a close-up view of aforementioned wildlife (totally forgetting that Yellowstone is not a zoo, and this wildlife is not behind a secure chain link fence). On the way home we saw alot of Buffalo and gawking tourists (with their cars stopped in the middle of the two-lane highway!).

I have also been working on the red sweater since I got back and hope to have it finished by this weekend some time. Stay tuned....
