weekend

we had a lot of fun this weekend. left the scroogim at home alone (doru came to see them once though), and drove to Cadillac. it was close enough to Halloween, so the dvd player showed scary movies most of the time. ben slept a lot on the floor, Sandy and Kevin brewed beer (i hope it will be ready for next time we go up there!), and we finished some projects that we had planned to do (a scrooge rack, and some sowing)... there was also enough time to play basketball with the grim reaper. all in all, it was great. we'll show pictures.
Gary and i started working on the israel vacation documentation. there are a ton of pics to sort through, and a lot of tails to tell. i sure hope we get help from everybody, otherwise it can be pretty dull...

although Sandy kept claiming that this year wasn't very good for colors, i thought the greens and yellows and reds of the trees were very pretty, and i think i want to make something in those colors. maybe a blanket, or something. we'll see. i still need to find a nice (and cheap) crafts store nearby. my other knitting project is finished, and i'll send it on its way tomorrow. will post pictures after it had reached its destination... don't want to ruin the surprise!
