I can imagine you enjoying your time with the grands...how exciting. We were driving the same highways during the same dates. We took the I5 down to Mt. Shasta...is that the mountain I see in your shots? It was so cloudy the day we were there. I loved your knitting patterns.

That stopped my heart almost. I can't imagine seeing my sister only once in after so long a time... I'm glad you had that blessed gift of visiting! LOVE to see your knitting. I find myself knitting very little just now, for still falling in love with crochet...LOL! I've graduated to granny squares and am making a granny scarf and a granny blanket. The summer seemed to end abruptly here the past weekend--temps dropped way down, and the rains have begun. We're just starting to see some red & gold scattered in nature... Happy Days, Willow ((HUGS)) P.S. I’m needing to take an extended digital sabbatical due to health reasons. But I hope to be around when I can. :o)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-67947767906866424102013-09-15T19:08:45.277-07:002013-09-15T19:08:45.277-07:00What wonderful pictures.

Not to forget reconnecting with your old friends - what fun!<br /><br />I was at a knitting store that I think you'd love - they raise the sheep, and do every in between step, until the yarn is ready to sell in the store. I'll post pictures soon. It was such a bright and colourful place! I was thinking of my knitting friends.:)<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-34611364139875950432013-09-13T13:05:15.661-07:002013-09-13T13:05:15.661-07:00I'm not a traveler - though a couple of times ...I'm not a traveler - though a couple of times we drove 2,000 miles, I don't think I could do it today!

That makes for an autumn of wonderful memories. I just started a class through church on prayer with a lot of the older generation and I'm loving it so far! And Monday I start teaching the Kindergarteners! Such a difference in ages, but, a good change for me this season! ;) Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-78502580834372887782013-09-12T23:03:27.502-07:002013-09-12T23:03:27.502-07:00I've been there!

What fun to see photos of familiar sights in the Portland area as well as scrolling back through your posts I missed while I was galavanting around the country the last three months:) So glad you have had a lovely summer, enjoying family members and friends in various beautiful locations. And your wonderful stitching projects inspire me to get busy on completing my own!
