Our trip so far.... If these will upload in order Our trip so far....

If these will upload in order (haha, probably not)... drinks (and knitting) on the plane... myself, Aunt Gay, and Uncle Joe... a crumpet they call "The Lifechanger" and y'all. Y'ALL. That is no lie (crumpet, cream cheese, maple butter, and walnuts)... our travel group at dinner... a sculpture at the Locks I was taken with... trees, leaves, lighting, and texture (aka "how to mesmerize Lorena")... The Needle and The Mountain... Live long and prosper... Uncle Joe pointing to himself in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame... our group at breakfast this morning. 

We're about an hour away from getting on the ship, and then it's goodbye Seattle, hello Alaska! 

xoxo y'all!

I'm getting ready to go on vacation for two weeks. I'm getting ready to go on vacation for two weeks. I KNOW. I've already been unable to work so much this year, but... It's been a long year and I need some quiet time with my family. We're going to Seattle and Alaska for about two weeks, and I'll try not to spend that entire time sending you pictures of ice and birds.

NOW. 

On one hand, that means there are two weeks I'll be unable to send out shipments. 

BUT!
