I know it has been quite a while. I promised myself that this was not going to be the place where I whine. Since that’s all I wanted to do for a few months, I have been quiet.
But now I’m back!
What I was afraid might be more MS problems turned out to be a bulging disc in my neck. I’m not sure how that will work out. The problem with my eyes might be glaucoma. More testing is scheduled. We will see.
Now for the good news. Tesla will have her 1st birthday tomorrow.
C and H have been able to take her to work with them and all has been working well so far.
The pups are also a year old. They still keep us very busy.
In June I went to Arizona for the first time. I attended a family reunion, and saw people I hadn’t seen in 40-50 years. I also met many for the first time. Despite the 100° F temperatures a good time was had by all. I didn’t even get sunburned!
There were many who couldn’t attend. I look forward to meeting them at the next reunion.
At the end of this month is another large gathering. This time it is Sock Summit 2011. Knitters from all over will be descending on Portland Oregon for classes, lectures and just plain fun. Oh, and YARN! Vendors from all over will be here. I have been saving my pennies.

Sock summit! How exciting! I am very envious!
What a good idea to have the coloured t-shirts for the family reunion, we should have done that at our recent one.
Happy birthday to Tesla and also to the pups. I bet that year has flown by!
Each color represents one of my father’s siblings. We had 4 generations present for some of them. Only about 1/2 to 2/3 of the family was able to attend.
I have a goal of making it to Sock Summit next year. If DH gets the job in Montana, that will make it easier. It is great that you have a big family! I am an only child and am always tickled to see other family’s pictures.
