My mother-in-law came over for dinner last night and I gave her the poncho. I know, I know – it was supposed to be for Christmas, but when I was weaving in the ends it occurred to me that fall is poncho weather. And there you have it. She LOVES it and it fits beautifully – I would definitely knit this pattern again.
The Rhinebeck countdown clock has officially begun. D#1 and her friend (did I mention that she had a friend with her on this trip?) hit the road this morning and headed back to school. Her friend had been staying in the guest room and I was under orders from Cara to make sure I got rid of any teenage boy smells. (and no, this is most definitely not D#1’s boyfriend) Luckily for me, the friend is the non smelly type, but I gave it a dusting and the bathroom a thorough scrubbing. In the meantime, Vicki will be staying in D#1’s room and that needed a going over. Tomorrow the rest of the house will get a shine. God, these slumber parties are work!

Vicki, maybe we should grab some Starbucks and take a quick trip to the beach. You can get Rusty some Fire Island Sand for his collection?

You and your friends are a riot! I am going to Rhinebeck with my sisiter and then we are staying over Sat . in Albany where my daughter lives. I hope the weather holds out! Wonder if you come home with another wheel??
Can I go to the beach too?
You guys are going to have a blast at your slumber party. Can’t wait to see you all!
Ya know… I still haven’t been transported ANYwhere with Onslow… The beach would be FUN (no matter how we are “transported” — really, it’s enough to be in the same garage).
Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait!
WHICH beach are you gals visiting ?? (Hmmmmmmm)
Girl, you don’t wait for anything, do you? Very considerate though :) You know what Cara will do if there’s a odd smell in the room right?;)

Cara would never stay in Avery’s room. No matter how much I clean it has a constant teenage boy smell!
See you saturday
wait a second?? What is up with all this ‘teenage boy smell” statements?! I have 3 “smelling of soap and shampoo” boys!
well, sometimes.. :/
