Thanksgiving travel

Well, Ken and I are heading for Oregon after work today. Presents are wrapped, the booze is secure and the car is packed. Whoooo! In our Oregon-travel tradition, we'll roll into Ashland around dinnertime, find a hotel and spend the evening in one of the pubs. Morning brings the next leg of the trip: Portland!

The DeZell's have a new house which we're anxious to see, but of course, we're really excited to play with Zira, and enjoy some convivial drinking with Sarah and Layton. What they don't know yet, is that we are bringing the growler of Dead Guy Ale which Eric picked up during his last beach trip with Mom. It feels like a good warrior's tribute to share his favorite beer with family. Damn, Eric had good taste in beer!

The cobblestone has been blocked and looks great on Ken - he loves that the sleeves are actually long enough for his arms! There was a sinking-feeling moment while it was drying and looking way too huge, but everything turned out perfectly! I'm definitely making one for Layton when I find the right yarn.



Thanks for watching the cat-kids, Claire!
