Florida Vacation Cont.

On Monday, we went back to Gabriella’s Yarn Store. They didn’t seem to have as much yarn as Knitting with Nancy but had much higher priced yarns. I found a few things that I liked here as well. The store was very well lit, open, and airy. There were a bunch of people sitting, knitting, and chatting. Gabriella had a little white dog running around barking, which added a relaxed air about the place. I found some beautiful Hand Painted Knitting Yarns in an individual colorway that did not have a name but there were 400 yards of it. I also bought 1200 yards of Blue Heron Bamboo Lace in Curry colorway. Both of these yarns and the Archangel colorway from yesterday were very similar. I must have been in a mood for these certain romantic colors.

Michael had meeting to attend most mornings and Elle and I would sit, play, and relax. I didn’t venture far without Mike, just took advantage of some alone time with my youngest girl. In the afternoons we would go get some lunch, site see a little, come back to the hotel to take a nap, usually go out for dinner, and come back to watch a little TV, chat, and lie in bed and play with Elle. Nothing exciting but exactly what a vacation should be.

We got back from Florida late Wednesday night and had to rush around getting things ready for work and school the next day. I have been sorting laundry, school papers, etc. Making up chore lists for summer and getting organized again so that the transition to summer schedules goes smoothly. Thankfully there was a three day weekend to get all caught up.

Tomorrow…knitting on the needles.
