Just leave a shout in the comments – and Carole? I meant it when I asked for a list ;o) I need to get with it and read some more ‘regional’ blogs ;o)</p><p>I did see a bunch of bloggers that I <a target="_blank" href="http://jessaluknits.com/exit.php?url_id=1179&amp;entry_id=186" title="http://almostfelted.knitblog.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://almostfelted.knitblog.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">had</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://jessaluknits.com/exit.php?url_id=1180&amp;entry_id=186" title="http://caroleknits.knitblog.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://caroleknits.knitblog.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">already</a> met which was very cool ;o) </p><p>There was a little blogger picnic that unfortunately I hadn’t heard about until minutes before so I didn’t bring anything (thanks Carole, Blogless Sharon and Blogless Sharon’s daughter, (who is also blogless) Heather for feeding me!)</p><p>Knitters are awesome ;o)</p><p>I have photos, but nothing yet of what I purchased and my brain is so fried right now that there is no way I could get it all to make sense for you guys tonight. We spent the day today burning (branches, etc. in the back yard) so I’m just exhausted. I promise, a better post tomorrow…</p><p>…must….sleep…</p><p />

<p>..that it is National TV Turnoff Week? Yep, it’s time to shut off the boob toob and take a week to get to know your family a bit better. Take a drive in the country (or, as we call it, go to the grocery store), a walk in the woods (or, again, as we call it, walk to the car), or you can do what we do when the knitting/talking/driving/walking gets old.</p><p>Decorate whoever falls asleep first. </p><p align="center"><a href="http://jessaluknits.com/uploads/Photos/04-26-06009.jpg" onclick="F1 = window.open(‘/uploads/Photos/04-26-06009.jpg’,'Zoom’,'height=435,width=655,top=174,left=320,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes’); return false;"><img width="110" height="72" style="border: 0px none ; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://jessaluknits.com/uploads/Photos/04-26-06009.serendipityThumb.jpg" alt="" /></a></p><p align="left"><i>OKC: I worked on DFS last night – apparently one of my projects has decided to get a bit uppity.
