food, crochet, merriment
Ooooh our babies are getting soooo big!! Cuter than heck, but big none the less. 
Kinda too big for this one skinny mama to keep feeding, at any rate. She tries but she just seems like she’s looking for a break.
I mean….there are six of them and only one of her. Gotta start finding homes for them fast!
Pretty sure she’s dreaming of a lonnnng week at the kitty spa.
Be brave sweet Dali!
My heart is broken.
Rest in peace Charlie.
We will miss you.
While I was gone, I had and enormous amount of certainty that I would spend all my waking hours crocheting my guts out…for the Farmer’s Market.
Vacation or no vacation, I told myself, it had to be done. I have a booth to run. It was the only responsible thing to do!
Trouble is that I’m apparently an immediate gratification sort of chick, and there were these really adorable kids that desperately needed what I was making.
Needed.Â
Neeeeeeeded.Â
Good Grammy’s never ignore their grandchildren’s needs.
Goes without saying.
PS– Love you Skylie!

Our very last hotel breakfast for this trip. To be honest, I’ve loved it.
Any time you can have food magically appear first thing in the morning–I’m certainly a fan!
Back in the car for a whollllllle bunch more of this…
and this helped.
Awww the stamina building power of ice cream!
Of course this was a welcome site.
But this one…
was…
WAY better!! Wahoooooooo!
We’re home!!!
I’ll tell you what–THIS girl is an absolute CHAMP! She drove the whole time and acted like she knew just where she was going. I am SO proud of her and her incredible bravery…
and life saving sense of direction. Heh, heh.
No kidding. She is amazing.
The kitties were all glad to see me. Dali was thrilled.
Lyla was extatic.
And Hobbes…ok, Hobbes had to act cool but I choose to believe he missed me.
Home again. Home again.
Jiggety jog.
Ok, this is my LEAST favorite thing about roadtrips….
having to say good-bye to a big chunk of my heart.
Ooooh, I’m going to miss this sweet guy…
and his family….SO, so much.
The cousins will miss each other too. It was just all so dang FUN!!
It’s so strange to drive away from these guys who just lived down the road a few months ago. Kind of awful, actually. Feels like we should all be going “home” together.
Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
Good-bye sweet family—I love you!!
