Well dearies, it’s been 20 (yes, 20. t w e n t y. 10 + 10) years of wedded quasi-bliss for the Boar & Me.
Ann and Boar, sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g. First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes daughters in the baby carriage.
pigs,
here at Chez Swine, it’s all about the love
Look at the adorable magnet from my spinning friend Delia! so cute! please refrain from any comparisons – you know yellow isn’t my color! I love it Delia! ;)
I am working furiously on Icarus – progress is evident! I am in love with this yarn – can’t wait to wrap myself in it. I was speaking with Boar last night and telling him about welding wires and blocking lace. He says that Home Depot carries welding wires and so this weekend on what seems to be our weekly trek, we shall add those to the shopping list.
Continuing my social director theme from yesterday ……
- tonight on NBC is The Office. I love this show. It is right up there with Arrested Development. I was completely devastated to have missed the season premier last week when I was away in San Diego. Believe you me, I really tried to see it but we had a compulsory dinner to attend (it was a business trip afterall). And no, I don’t have Tivo. Or Io. I really don’t even understand what they do or mean. D#2 is also a fan, so she filled me in and that will have to do until I catch a rerun.
- mark your calendar, this Sunday (10/1) is Greenlawn’s Annual Pickle Festival! Here are the details:
Pickle Festival
Homemade pickles, jams, jellies,
farm grown veggies, bake goods, family fun
11am-4pm
John Gardiner Farm
900 Park Ave
Greenlawn, NY

I love pickles! I will have to be very careful not to get pickle juice all over Icarus.
hit the road, Jack.
There will be no blogging this week – I will be in San Diego! Mr. Boar has a business trip and the spouses have been invited too. Last year we went to Las Vegas and I bitched and moaned in the weeks leading up to the trip. Historically, I have been a very cranky traveler. I am beginning to suspect that it has less to do with the going and more to do with the leaving! This year D#2 is 16 years old, and is a mature and responsible person. My mother in law will also be here to keep an eye on things and drive her around. But I feel much more confident in her ability to take care of herself and her schedule and also the dogs. Let’s not forget the four legged creatures! At this time last year we had five dogs, two of whom were very ill. That is a lot to leave behind and a lot to ask someone else to watch – this year we have three and they are all in good health (except for Lucy’s itchy spot, which is on its way to healing)
So anyway, I am actually looking forward to this trip! Now I have to decide on a knitting project(s). Did you guys catch the new Knitty? specifically the article on double knitting and socks? Maybe it’s time to try something new ….. see you guys next week!
