last friday, i took B to the grocery store and to pick up his mail. he caught typhoi fever while in cambodia (because he left as a child he is not immune) and had spent 10 days in the hospital in london. he passed out at a restaurant there in front of about 1,000 people. anyway, we ended up going to lunch after the post office and groceries to one of my favorite places, koko kitchen. koko’s is a small, family-run japanese restaurant and we had miso soup and kimchi rolls (sushi). turns out miso soup was what he was supposed to have had at the resdtaurant in london before he fell flat on his face.
anyway, B gave me a beautiful gift: a scarf, and chopsticks and chopstick rests. so fabulous!

then, on sunday i met my sister and her family for dinner and my sister gave me a gift from her trip to new york:

5 skiens of denim silk! 4 dark and one slightly lighter! i can’t wait to make a spring top out of it! it will be gorgeous!

thank you!!!

eventually, i want to put my blog elsewhere and have a few galleries of kwips and fwip (knitting works in progress and foto works in progress), but for now, let me show you something i really like.

yes, i am awful. only slowly adding these pictures, but, such is my life at the moment.
finally, a picture of dinosaur national monument (more to come, i pick up film today!)

and here is flaming gorge:

if you look at a map, you will note that i took the long way home. driving from vernal up through flaming gorge and then through wyoming… ah, wyoming…


actually, i LOVE the big sky feelings of wyoming. it was gorgeous out, it had been storming and the clouds were full of moisture and energy.
