Today is my last day of freedom for a while!

These 3 photos are the items that I purchased at Alamitos Bay Knitting Co. Couldn't put the pattern books in Ravelry yet - there is another photo - I can't seem to get all 3 photos on at once!!!

Wow, I can sure get used to being off for 5 days straight and not having to take any vacation days! I always mean to get a lot done, but I think I am a reader, so that takes up a lot of my time! Also, I hardly ever get on the computer during the week, so I am just crazy when I do get on it!

First day, I had lunch with a friend from where I used to work. She got on Ravelry and really likes it! I always have a wonderful time talking about life, etc. with her.

Second day, I can't remember!! Whoops! Alzheimer's!

3rd day was the 4th of July and we went to Studio City to see what was going on there. Cute streets and sets. We met a nice family from Glendora when we were eating.

Yesterday we went to Long Beach Acquarium. Wonderful cool air. Spent the morning looking at the fish with our daughter and her family! Then we all had a picnic lunch outside. Afterward we went to Alamitos Bay Yarn Co. Beautiful store! Nice that they have "store copies" for their books, then the customers get a new copy, untouched! See pics below.

So, today I am wrapping things up and trying to get back in the work mode after I went to church. Haven't been there in a few weeks. Talked to my dad today too. He's been moved. Thank goodness for my cousin up north, wouldn't know where to find him, if she wasn't in the know.

Been doing crosswords lately, my mom and I like to talk about them. It seems I only can find the time to do them when I am not working. I tried to do some knitting, but didn't accomplish much. Need to get something done soon! Would like to try something else too!
