On The Road

Yesterday, before we had even gotten out of town, the Jeep hit its thousand mile mark. Did I mention that we got a new car? It’s a green Jeep Liberty and we love it. Here is what I was doing at this historic moment:

We are in the drive-through at Taco Bell.

I got finished with the cuff and three rows of pattern before I decided I didn’t especially like the pattern. It just wasn’t looking like anything but mess in the sock-gauge. I read Bill Bryson’s new memoir out loud in the car until it got dark and then I came up with a way to fix it (with out having to re-do my cuff which I had made in 3×3 ribbing specifically to look nice with this pattern. I’ll show you later – the sun isn’t really up yet (neither is Michael) and I am blogging from the hotel room.

Last night there was a “party” down by the river (at a mall-type-thing) with a “band” (three guys with electric keyboards that looked like little grand pianos) and fireworks! I love fireworks. They were launched off of a barge out on the water. The barge that kept drifting closer during the show, so by the end everyone was all covered in a gentle dusting of soot and charred paper.

This is right before the fireworks.

There is yarn on the way to the stadium! I think I have time to visit one store before attending more festivities (there is a pep rally that my aunt is Very Excited about). My priorities are in Perfect Order.

Go, Jackets!
Go, yarn!

    Wow, this is a quite an event! I hope you’re having a great time.

    How do you like the new Bill Bryson book? I’m thinking of gifting it for Christmakkah.
