June 2008 is history. It was a busy month filled with fun family things.
Half of the FL visitors arrived
The nieces kept me busy.
There were tournaments -
dance recitals -
a HS graduation -
and a confirmation - (why yes, that is a halo on my head)
I also kept busy with Mom, and made a few short visits to the lake.
In fiber news -
the final pair of BBS 
is finished and laundered. I have one beanie to go, then the 3 pairs of socks and the beanie can be shipped to Socks for Soldiers along with some goodies for the soldiers. The new olive drab colored yarn is on order, so for the first time in a very long time I have no soldier socks on the needles.

Sadly, the Summer of Socks 2008 socks have been frogged. I blithely ignored the suggestion to make the smaller size of the pattern since the stitch is very stretchy, and guess what? They were too big!
I finished spinning the pound of fiber I started way back in March. It is ready to knit up, but I'm still petting it and looking for the perfect sweater pattern.
I am now spinning a Mermaid batt from EnchantedKnoll. It is beautiful. I finished the first bobbin yesterday, and began the second today while watching the start of the Tour De France. It is the beginning of my Ravelry Tour de Fleece. I know I should have waited to start the batt, but I just - umm- forgot.
July is a difficult month for me, but I am determined to make it a good month this year.
Here's hoping I can travel to Erskine Lake again before the month is out. If not, well so be it. We adapt and move on. I am planning on going 'down the shore' in August. Ocean City, to be exact. Oh wait, is there more to OC than the pizza? Of course, there is! There are the scones at Positively 4th Street, and the funnel cakes and cheese steaks on the Boardwalk, and Spadafora's seafood. Yumm, do we see a trend here?
Hmmm, I believe it is lunchtime - that explains the food fixation.
I'm off to heat up the grill.
