Look Out World - Here I Come!

Have passport - Will travel!

Still not sure why they made me send in my old passport, cause it really wasn't quite full yet - still had a few blank spots!  But they did, so now I have a brand spanking new one that will last me till August 2021!  Wow!  Think of all the places I can go!  Ireland in September.  Germany in October.  Ecuador in November.  Now that's a good start!

A Pod for a Little Pea

I made this for Allie for photographing infants.  Learned some new knitting techniques - that's always good.  Somehow it doesn't look big enough even for a newborn.  We'll see.  Still have the little matching had to knit up.  Shouldn't take long for that!  It was fun.  I'm enjoying having knitting needles in my hands again  Great evening work.  Thanks, Katie!

Let's Go, Mom!

My little Chico is always ready for a walk!  But he sure comes home pooped!  We only did 5 miles this morning.  Really need to kick that up a couple notches.  Just hope I'm ready for Ireland.

I DID IT!!!

I just finished my first knitted baby beanie.  I'm delighted.  I'm addicted!  They are fun to do.  All I have left to do is make a pompom to attach to the top.

Hmmmm.  What shall I do next?  Guess maybe I'll start on a "peapod" for Allie.  Will show that to you when I'm done.  Fun!

Weekend In Salt Lake City

I know.  I was only home a few days when I headed off to Salt Lake, but it was a great weekend to visit our "lifelong" Army friends, Jim and Judy Lots.  We mostly ate and shopped and ate some more!  And I got to see most of the family while I was here, so that was just the icing on the cake.

 Our first "gourmet" outing was to the Red Iguana, a "joint" I've heard about for years.  The sign says it all:  "Killer Mexican Food" and it was delicious.  I'm going to make sure the next time that Walt and I get down here we will make a return visit.  Yum.  Yum.

 Chico's first visit and he made himself right at home - to include taking possession of the remote!

 And entertaining Judy!

 Makenzie fell in love with him, and I was concerned there for awhile that she might try to kidnap him.  Take a look at that girl's smile - it says it all!

 I got to meet Kian for the first time - which is really the reason I made this trek down here!  He is the cutest little guy and the newest addition to Jeff and Brit's family.  What a smiley, little guy he is.  And what a blessing.

 Our second "gourmet" outing was to the Gabor Bros.  We've been there before and loved it.  I guess it's Italian - wonderful pasta and pizza.  I opted to try a calzone - I didn't eat more than a fourth of it, but boy was it good.  Too bad I can't take it home with me tomorrow.  YUMMY.

This was Judy's hamburger.  She made it through about half - that's cause the onion rings were so delicious, so she had to eat those also!

It's been a great weekend, Jim and Judy.  I needed it.  Bless you all.
