Why Don't She Write?

Posted by Iron Needles at 11:13 AM
Well, it's like this.  I have been on the go.  And for a week, without internet.  Well, I could have paid for it, but see the new header?

Well...I didn't need the internet with that view a minute's walk from our room.

Since I last wrote, I went to the Estes Park Wool Market, and bought wonderful stuff, which I shall tell about. Later.

After the wool market weekend, which was wonderful, I picked up our passports from the safety deposit box at the bank, and gathering all necessary and appropriate documentation, I packed.  I even anticipated Mexican security prohibiting metal knitting needles on the flight back, and planned appropriately.

Armed with camera and laptop (for downloading all the photos I was going to take), knitting and reading, shorts, tanks, swimsuits, dress and shawl for the wedding, we flew south of the border.

Where right off the bat, the fancy smancy camera lenses fogged up! And continued to do so everytime it emerged from inside to outside. One cooler evening, I was able to take several photos, and thought I had 'the trick'. Booyah! However the next morning...camera wouldn't even turn on!! Seems condensate formed on some little contact somewhere.  It was torture as I was not the only one with a camera that was not functioning properly.  Fortunately, I, as well as others, had taken our little cameras that worked very well.

Very frustrating. At least the camera is working now.  Now that I am...you know....HOME!!!!

We saw Eldest married successfully. I snorkeled for the first time. We were allowed back into the country.

The following day, Lovely Step-Daughter arrived from Desert Crazy Town for a friend's bridal shower, and we saw her....for lunch!

Then I took a nap.  For 2 hours.  Or maybe more.  I didn't count.

More details will be forthcoming. I just felt the need to re-surface.

Congratulations on the new SIL! Weddings are fun, but can be exhausting!
Wishing I could go to a wool festival someday! Maybe some day!

It was kind of 'freeing' not to be able to think about photos. It made me live in the moment and not worry about 'documenting'. I am glad everyone else took photos, though!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
