Knitting, Botany, Mycology, Nature, Adventure, and Life... in no particular order.

Woah There
A lot has happened since the Celtics game and I just haven’t been able to mentally catch up.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and managed to see all the respective immediate families. Dinner was with mine and my sister managed to cook us a terrific meal. She really knows how to cook, and with Mom and I helping out I would say there couldn’t have been a better meal. (Also I really love my family so spending time with them is always great.) I, of course, baked a pumpkin pie and everyone still loves me till next year.
Then, the following day, I had my 10 year reunion! Good Grief! We had a nice group come over first and then we took the T downtown to Felt where we grabbed dinner before heading upstairs to the party. There are a lot of things I could say here. I could wax poetic, make then vs. now lists, or even go on in detail about tons of people you aren’t likely to know. The sort version: it was super fun, it was great to talk to all different people and catch up, found out a bunch of people are in the area and we plan to hang out (boardgames will probably be part of that), and in the end I got to have some of my favorite people in the world in the same room as me again. I might have gotten teary, but it was probably the lighting.
Saturday I missed the fellas’ annual alumni high school ultimate game, but went out to brunch with an old friend and his lovely lady. After that though I caught up with all the rascals and adventures were had involving Blue-Ray players, Chinese food, and board games.
Somehow it is now the 2nd week in December. I have been knitting up a storm and having tea and cookies at night. Later I’ll share more on that and hopefully get the lights on the tree (YEAH TREE!) and post some pictures. At least now I don’t constantly feel like I am trying to show up time so I can catch up with all my thoughts. (Keep your slow comments to yourselves… especially you Dad!)

Muted Garter Love
I’ve got this lovely bit of yarn on my needles… all garter stitch with tones blending and changing. The yarn is Koigu Kersti Merino Crepe (Rav. Link), which is always fantastic to work with. (Note: I have not met a Koigu yarn I did not love madly.)
I’m hoping the finished object turns out just right.

One look from you, I drift away. I pray that you are here to stay. […] I live my life, to be with you. No one can do the things you do. […] I’m glad to give my love to you. I know you feel the way I do. Anything you want, you got it. Anything you need, you got it. Anything at all, you got it. Baby!
