Lookin' Up

Last night after work we drove down to Howell to enjoy the balloonfest. I have wanted to do this for many years. When we lived in Gaines we would hear and see balloons fly over head. (Dave and I also took a ride in one over 10 years ago.)

The only thing I haven't seen yet is the Balloon Glow. This is where they fill them up at night (they don't take off) and you see the filled balloons lit from inside. All off them glowing.

If you have the time this weekend, please go. It was easy to park and the crowds were easy to maneuver through to get to what we wanted to see.

Chillin'

Today T was relaxing before piano lessons. Later she and Ram-niss went swimming at the park pool.

Queen Zoe had a haircut for the summer.











One afternoon the Budweiser Clydesdales were in front of the capitol. This was taken from my office window.

I am making good progress on a sweater for Ram-niss. He under grew the 'Pup Tent' that I knitted him a while back. This time he wanted a fisherman's sweater. In the end he decided he wanted 'Iain'. It is a little more modern version of a fisherman's sweater with a hood. The yarn is Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool in the color he chose. He wanted it by the fall. I think he will end up getting it while the temps remain in the 90's.




Georgia is still being worked on occasionally. I am almost done - just have an inch or so of the sleeves and then the caps. Not in a real rush to complete it since I am not seeing me needing to wear it for a while.






Would rather be here (especially in this heat):

The Hungarian Falls up in the UP. Ram-niss and I went to visit Son since he is working up at school for the summer. This is the view in the other direction at the falls. What a view!

This has to be the coolest wooden playground! It is in Houghton.
