A long overdue project has been completed!
It's Baby Felix's blanket!
This is the first baby blanket I ever finished, and I am very pleased! Now I have to start a blanket for soon-to-arrive Baby Gavin.
I am using thicker yarn this time!

When I was a child, I spent a lot of time in northern Michigan, a.k.a. up north.
Last week, I went up north with my mother to pick up my grandparents. It was an emotional trip for a lot of reasons. It was hard to see my grandparents so frail and in poor health. And then I was flooded with memories and emotions as I saw places where I had spent so many hours as a child. Wanna take a walk down memory lane with me?


Lake Huron


Rainbow


Docks in East Tawas City.


The sign outside my grandparents' cottage.


Cedar Lake


The apple tree I used to climb.


Can you find the 7th grade picture of me?


8th grade!
