Owl Landing

My owl landed on Thursday! I was so excited. Thank you so much Heather for my wonderful package. I immediately took it to my neighbors to share it contents.Here it is. Beautiful yarn in yummy sweettart colors. A decorated folder with sock patterns. Circular needles, I can't wait to try, and some yummy chewy sweettarts. The dog in the picture is Belle, and she belongs to my neighbor.
Here is an up close shot of my Hufflepuff socks. There so light, they are perfect for Washington weather.
I know my family is expecting pictures of our new home, and the area. I am sorry I haven't posted sooner. I have been stuck trying to organize stuff I didn't even know I had. On top of all that Friday my dear hubby took command. Taking command is the best job for a captain in the Army. It was sudden notice, and we have only had 2 weeks to prepare, so we have been a little busy with that as well. Until next time!

Out West

I have not disappeared. I have just been enjoying living in a hotel (interpretation; be gone as much a possible, so boredom doesn't set in). We have one more week of hotel living before we move into our new digs. I will have a real house. I am most excited about not having to share my washer and dryer with a barracks full of guys. Here are some pictures from our trip out west (hubby found the camera cord). All the pictures were taken in South Dakota. For all of you who live in South Dakota, you live in a beautiful state. Can't you just imagine Laura Ingalls running over these rolling hills. All you see for miles and miles are farmlands and rolling green hills.
This is the closest picture I could get of that statue. It was in the middle of no where, and I had to get a fast picture before we passed it.
In the middle of South Dakota was an 1880's town. That's the only thing off that exit. This picture was taken outside of it because we didn't have time to walk through it.
Last but not least, was the town of Wall. Since we entered South Dakota we saw signs for free water in Wall, Wall Drug advertised in Kenya, London and on various news agencies. There was actually a sign for Wall Drug every mile or two. The dinosaur was outside the town, and stands 80 feet high. The town itself was like a little western town with all kinds of souvenirs. I had a wonderful Buffalo burger there. It truly was a lovely trip. I would recommend a trip out west to anyone, for no other reason than to see the vastness of Gods green earth. Until next time!

P.S. I am almost finished with one of my Hogwarts socks. I am going to get to knitting!
