Weekends


My weekend was filled with:

-8 hour car ride to and from my husband's family in London, Ontario, Canada.
-leisurely hanging out at the bookstore, frantically using the wifi, and inhaling the smell of coffee and book print, two of my favorite scents!  (someone should make a candle scent!)
-being very hot!  (I keep my AC colder than they do--boo hoo)
-seeing nieces and a nephew and just being amazed at how old they look
-being amazed at how old that makes me
-lots of car knitting on the way up
-no car knitting coming home-it was too hot
-my husband running into a high school friend and his wife-an instant friendship was forged in 20 minutes and I'm sure that we will be seeing them again in the future, how cool is that?

how was your weekend?

  2. Oh yes! I adore the smell of coffee and books! Bookshops and coffee shops are like an addiction for me. I just had to come over and take another look at that header of yours.

  5. A candle scent of coffee & printed books - I love it!
    That's such a familiar scenario to me: hanging out at a bookstore and frantically using the wifi before the one hour window runs out!

  7. sweet. I love them all!
    I know, feeling yarn on hands and legs in the extreme heat really is yucky.
    And that is what I tell myself when I wonder why I'm still working on the same shawl I started several months ago. ; )
    Instant connect with new friends is always good!
    Hugs!

  8. Karen, you are so right about that candle scent, I'm suprised no one has marketed it before. Maybe you could contact someone about that?
    I know I would buy dozens.
    I do love how things align and friendships are formed, it makes the world so much nicer.
    Have a great Monday.

  14. sounds like a fantabulous weekend!

    and the ac. when we visited the grandparents a few weeks back i thought i would die. having a baby on me constantly and nursing means i tend to be a bit hotter but they kept it at 77 and i died. i feel your pain.
