…and again with the butt.
Okay I give up. Apparently it is just not meant to be. I will never get a photo of my daughter’s FACE while marching. Okay I haven’t completely given up - at least I can try again next year. *sigh*
This weekend two exciting things happened (well, other than Cummington and the events surrounding the festival). Firstly, I celebrated my first spinniversary since I learned to spin last year at the hands of the omniscient Shiela B. (can you believe I’ve acquired four wheels since then? Yeah. Neither can RR).
Secondly I actually got to see RR marching! In a parade! A real one! With music and horses and kids on bikes and fire trucks and flashy lights and everything! Usually the only view I get to see of him in his dress uniform is this one:
…that would be running out the door double checking to make sure he has all his crap. THIS year I got to see this:
Pretty handsome, aren’t they? ;o)
Also seen while driving aimlessly around upstate NY:
Yes, the house was just as scary as you might think…very Norman Bates-esque and no, we didn’t stop.
As for knitting….I don’t have time anymore, I’m updating my Ravelry notebook. ;op

I can’t wait until you start putting your stash in. I love to drool over other people’s yarn! I’m also addicted to looking in other people’s queues…

Ya, right! I’m not sure that’s true. What with four wheels and a ton of fiber
You can do better than just 2 sweaters!

At this rate it’ll take me ages to get really up to date on Ravelry but I’ve had fun poking around. Ah the marching band memories, what fun!

Nice parade.

What’s not to love about handsome men in uniforms. Yay for parades!

Nothing like a man in uniform!
Ravelry, the great time sucker. I have been trying to do my in stages so as not to completely suck all my time, but it is sooo hard.

Sigh. I love a man in uniform.

4 wheels? 4?!! in just a year?!!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Wow, four wheels in a year. I can only wish… It’s been two years for me in a couple weeks and I still only have one… It’s a great multi-tasker I must say, but I now understand the appeal of having multiple wheels which I didn’t when I first bought mine.

Well, you do have a picture of *part* of her face. Wait until you see the pic I got of my daughter marching.
May 31st, 2007 at 3:27 pm
Wow, he sure cleans up nice!

Those pictures bring back memories! I played the flute, too. But our uniforms weren’t as sharp as hers.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:37 pm
I can’t tell you how many of those pictures I have of both my kids.
My daughter played the flute also, and then the tuba in her senior year, son played trombone. I miss being a band parent!
Enjoy it for me!
heh. “spinniversary!”
lol

What a lovely parade! I too used to march flute/piccolo, so I remember those days. Our uniforms weren’t as snazzy as those though.
May 31st, 2007 at 8:39 pm
You’re so cheeky!
Love RR in his uniform - what is it about uniforms?
Why break tradition and get a pic of Dobby’s face? :-p
May 31st, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Very handsome they are!
Tag sale, self serve? *shudder* Was it Norman Bates or more Boo Radley?

Great pics!
I’m so jealous of your Ravelry invite!
June 1st, 2007 at 4:19 pm
yep - gotta love a man in uniform. I know mine makes my knees weak :0)
