WOW!

what a beautiful day! I ran 3 miles along the Roanoke River Greenway, shopped for garden plants and produce at the market and had a delightful afternoon exploring the camping areas close by.....oh, and it's 82 degrees at 9:45pm !

More....

socks in a shorter summer length - someone asked me how many pairs of socks I needed....just one more pair....

Bookcrossing afghan....

Work commitments prevented me from attending the Bookcrossing convention last week. The afghan was raffled off and the lucky winner will receive it in a week or so....I have a little finishing up left to do!

10,000+ of them...

I've worn a pedometer to walk the last three days and have walked greater than 10,000 steps each day .....American Heart Association recommends this as a heart healthy basic exercise goal. Another run planned tomorrow early in the AM!

Beautiful Day

Dreary morning followed by a sunny warm afternoon .... resting up in preparation for 2 long work days....found Virginia napping in one of the sleeping bags we were packing in our camper.

Getting back on track!

Finished this pair of socks - I knitted 1.5 inches of ribbing and the rest stockinette sock - looks like the slouchy socks from the eighties. Oh well, I like the colors but will continue to make the entire leg portion of socks in ribbing. I also ran 3 miles on a challenging downtown hilly course and did OK - I'm back!!!

Sadness...

With the immense sadness of yesterday's events I want to celebrate the hopefulness of a new life ... I made this baby sweater for a wonderful person at work...
I attended Va Tech for one year just out of high school (I later graduated from UVA) and enjoy visiting the campus and the adjacent downtown area to soak in that college town joy and life. I'm saddened to know it will never be quite the same again.
