You may have noticed that my blog entries over the last two weeks have been few & far between. That is mostly due to my vistors of the last 10 days. Matt, Andrea, & Ethan came to visit. They arrived Thursday (a week ago) & stayed the weekend with us. We really did photograph this occasion - I just can't find the pictures to prove it. I'm still working on locating them. Anyway, we had a blast. Then the family ventured off to the coast while Tim & I went to work like slaves. :) Our guests arrived back here on Friday & went home yesterday. It was a fun filled time of chatting, playing, and making memories. And now, my house is quiet - almost sad. (Except maybe the kitties who know Ethan won't be chasing them today).
One of the highlights was Friday night when Andrea suggested we go to the casino. I often forget her little secret addiction. :) We had a great time there & walked out with less than we had walked in with - bummer too, because we had BIG plans for our winnings...
We also started a sweater project. We casted on together & began knitting. 3 hours into it, I realized I had twisted mine & had to take the whole thing out. *sigh* When Andrea came back from the beach, she had 24 rows & I still had none. So...this weekend I re-casted on (is that a word?!?) and went at it again. I'm now as far as I was when I had to bail the first time & so far - so good. In fact, I think I'll be off to work on it some more in a moment.
Thank you Andrea for coming to visit us. You are welcome anytime - want to come over again tomorrow?

Hey, be checking your mailbox....surprise for you...nope I won't tell, don't ask!
Love ya!
Andrea & Jessie in a casino? That puts a funny picture in my head for some reason!
Good luck with the sweater. I stil haven't really gotten a good start on my kit from the knitting bee. :)
So glad you guys had a good time. I'm looking forward to pictures!
I am excited to see your finished projects! I've always wanted to try a sweater. Glad you'll be the guinea pigs :)
Oh trust me Kelly, it was a very funny picture. Let's just say that the typical casino patrons are not who we rub shoulders with on a day to day basis ... we must have been a sight, arms linked, cruising for more sodas and hanging out in the non-smoking room ... ha that was pretty funny in itself too. But again, way fun!!
Thanks Jess for hosting the three of us, you know (or I hope you do) how much it means to us to be able to stay on your turf, mess your house up and invade your space. We love it there and I miss you something awful right now too ... we must stop this torture!
So happy the rest of your week will be SO much better ;).
