Evening Visitor

The Collar found this outside when he started the charcoal for tonight's burgers.
Too bad they grow up to be so unattractive.

And to the fort

we go.

Since we finally had a weekend that wasn't completely packed with activities, and the BBFs are here, we made it to Fort Walla Walla. It is a very well done museum. There are military and Indian artifacts, agricultural items, homes from various prominent families from the area.

Knitting on Friday

But before that, proof that even I can fix my hair. I was a little worried about it.Yes, it is that easy to make it curly and spiky. I wish I'd known this a long time ago.

I've been knitting on the Spey Valley Socks. One leg is finished, and I'm pretty close to finishing the other leg.
I wanted to finish something. So I made some Halloween-themed washcloths. What do you think? I think that the pictures even show the design, which is hard to photograph.

I have started a hat for myself. I walk The Wiz to school every morning, and I've been cold. I need a hat. It needs to be one that does NOT match the Wiz's, although he might like that. I'll show you later, when there is actually something to see.

Random Things

The Collar's parents are here, so a short post full of random stuff.

1. We went to the farmer's market on Saturday, so the BBFs could see it. Here's proof:Honey crisp apples, tomatoes, acorn squash, and plums. Yum.

2. Saturday night, we had a dinner party with The Collar's assistant, a rector emeritus, and our former bishop (and of course, the BBFs). We had indian food and a crostata. Want the recipe?


3. Sunday was The Collar's installation. It was a good service, the reception was very well done, and we felt loved.

4. Monday we crashed.

5. Tuesday The Collar and I went to the symphony. (Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven) Walla Walla has the oldest symphony this side of the Mississippi. We had a very good time, and saw about half of the parish.

6. Today was a bit of shopping. Game Boy has now learned to make beef vegetable soup.

Tomorrow is busy, Friday might be, and Saturday will be. We're tired.

In Honor

of the official cryptid of Washington State (Game Boy says so) and because the Collar is afraid of him, we had Big Foot meatloaf.
