Weebug Knits

It is back to the usual routine of work today. I am glad to be away from the heat in the Portland, Oregon area and in the cooler environment of the Puget Sound. Fiona is off to soccer camp this week, so there are just three of us at home and it seems rather quiet without the regular interruption of sibling squabbles.

It will probably take a good chunk of time for me to get through the stockpile of work e-mails and a bit more time for me to figure out what has transpired in the week that I was away from my desk. It is also the first day that my best friend from work will not be there, he has moved on to a much better position and I shall miss my lunch-time walking buddy a great deal. The work atmosphere will be vastly different and although I am quite excited for my friend's fortunes, I am sad that he won't be there when I get there this morning.

Home where I grew up is such a beautiful place, quite different from the urban area where I now reside. Time seems to travel at a different pace there and I am greatful that I was able to spend almost a week just hanging out with my parents, watching baseball games with them on their television, patiently listening to what seemed like the same newscast over and over. Yet I am glad to be back with my own family and the quiet chaos that seems to reign around here.

The lavender at my folks house right was beautiful.

My current sock, just so that there is some knitting content around here.

Sigh, I am off to work. I have ride lined up for Shannon to gymnastics for today, I can't figure out how I am getting her back from gymnastics. Can the summer be over yet? I hate having to figure this stuff out on a daily basis.
