Whidbey Island

On Thursday I got together with some friends and we headed to Whidbey Island. Kelly's family owns a home in walking distance of the water. A few of us met up at Kelly's house and started our ride to the Island. We finally made it on the ferry and then it was a short ride to her family's lake cabin. We walked down to the beach and looked for sea shells and I had to pick some of them up.

It was a great night of good friends, good food, and great wine. We did play a dice game called LRC, and you can play with chips or quarters so we played with quarters. There was 3 four sided dice on each side there was a L, R, C, and a Dot. So if you roll a L, R, and a dot, you pass 1 quarter to the left one to the right and you keep one quarter. If you rolled a C then one goes the middle the big pot. Who ever is the last one with any quarters wins and get the big pot. Guess who won both games....ME. Then they did not want to play any more and they sent me home the next day. I did some knitting down.

Sock Update

Ok here is an update on the sock knitting front. I finished the Horcrux socks right before we left for vacation. So I brought with me two different yarns and patterns. I tried the first one and it did not work so I tried on the second one and it worked. I doing the Monkey sock again , but with a twist. I'm doing it with out the "purl" I'm knitting every stitch. I just finished the first one today.

When I got home on Friday, I had a package waiting for me. The first Wool girl sock club package arrived. The yarn is great, it is one of my favorite yarn too. Mamma Llama. I am so glad that I spend the money and joined. Now I have to wait for two month for the next one and I don't think I can.

Vacation

Brian and I just got back from a weeks vacation. Boy did the time fly by, I can't believe that I have to go back to work tomorrow. On Sunday morning Brian and I loaded up the truck and trailer and headed down to Florence, Oregon to our favorite place "the DUNES". The morning was not the best but by the afternoon the sun was out and the weather was great. Here are some pictures of why we like it down there.

We also went to the World's Largest Sea Lion Caves. It was something I've wanted to do since we started going down there.
