Happy Family Day

We just got home from Niagara Falls.  A night away was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately we did't get much sleep because we were up watching Olympic coverage.  What a day.  Alexandre Bilodeau.  There is nothing else to say.  Yes, I was crying while watching him interviewed with his family last night.  He is an amazing human and I am so happy he won the first gold medal for Canada on home soil.  We didn't get back to the hotel room until 11:30 and I pulled out my knitting.  A few more rows are done.

Today we went to the outlet mall on Military Road.  I remember my dad taking us there to shop when we were kids.  One bag came home with a present for my dad.  Nothing for me.  :(  A quick stop at Target, an hour in the casino and then home.

Here is my knitting.  The first ball is done.  I need to pick up the pace or it won't get finished.

I don't know why the picture is showing so orange-the yarn has a slight rust look but it definitely isn't orange. Silly new camera.  I might have to read the book to find out how to get better colours.

I am changing into comfy clothes and moving to the couch.  Sleep or knit??
