oceans n' heaven

oceans n' heaven

How lucky am I to live near the ocean these days? I do get homesick at times but having the opprotunity to go sea-kayaking in the Atlantic on a gorgeous summer day is very cool... I must admit though, I thought it would be "oceanier". It looked a lot like Ontario in the bay. A girl from Manitoba said she thought it looked an awful-lot like Manitoba. I guess we all associate with what we know. Sadly, we didn't see any seals. I saw some large birds on a distant rock and pretended they were seals though.

wilco

Saw Wilco last night. Great show. They were "toight - like tigers". Outdoors; on the shore; sea-air breeze, 2 encores. I liked Jeff Tweedy's green and white blazer. (Is it called seer-sucker that fabric? Not sure. No one I know personally wears stuff like that; what an old southern gentleman would wear... or something... I like that he looks like some crochety, old uncle. The often-drunk,/poetic one that never got married... although, I think Tweedy is married... but I digress.) They played many of my favourite songs and the new tunes sounded good too. Pretty "rocky"... with the "power chords" and what-not. Not a musician so I don't know the terms. Didn't like the hippy people in front of me; dancing indiscriminately. Always the same dance - every song. Major head-weaving, eyes closed, kept pushing back against me even though there was LOTS of space in front of them, stepping on my feet, throwing arms up and howling at the moon while I get their hairs in my mouth. Rude. Oh well.

baby blanket for willy

This is my first completed crochet project.

I was inspired by my husband's sister who makes huge, elaborate afghans with pictures in them. They are really amazing but I can't link to them because she does not have them on the internet... though she really, really SHOULD!

This small blanket is for a cousin's baby named "William"... Halfway through the project I finally realized that my "W" could just as easily be an "M", "E", or "3"... which is good if Willy ever wants to change his name to Mike, Evan, or 30-Cent. Anyway, that is why I added the period.
