Fondue!

One thing about fondue, one eats more slowly. Wonderful Guy and I were at the restaurant for 2 hours. I ate quite a bit, and might still be full! I could have done with the cheesey appetizer, the salad, and the chocolate dessert, leaving the main entrée alone. We had a very nice valentine’s celebration, all in all, enjoying ourselves, and each other’s company, along with the food and atmosphere.

Youngest Daughter called this morning, inviting me to a card making/scrapbooking party this evening, to which I will accompany her. Grandbebe Girl will stay home with Bebe’s Daddy, so I won’t get that pleasure. Probably for the best for Grandbebe Girl as the festivity might run past her bedtime. We will have a fun time, though, just the two of us. Scrapbooking and sewing is something I share with Youngest Daughter. Cardmaking and knitting (and chemistry) is something I share with Eldest Daughter. I very much appreciate having those connections, knowing how I feel about the things I shared in common with my mother.

Fellow Spinners from work are taking a bit of a field trip this afternoon to the fiber mill. I can’t wait to see what I will find today. I am making plans for which knitting I will take with me on my Philly ’08 trip. I believe that I will start the Forest Canopy Shawl, making sure all is right with that. That will be a most excellent traveling project, once started. Surely the scarf will be done by then. It’s is about 50-60% complete, I am guessing, without measuring. Of course, there will be the ubiquitous dishcloth and cotton yarn, not just for easy knitting, but for Dearest Sisters's training. I discovered today that Eldest Daughter’s lys sells fiber, so a trip there is planned for a souvenir fiber purchase.

Temps today are in the low 60’s! Tomorrow…high of 24 with snow! And believe it or not, this is the best climate I have experienced in all the placed I have lived. I am ready for spring, though. I read a blogger yesterday that had some crocus blooming. Aargh!
Taking deep breaths…
