The Long And Winding Road

That leads to your door, will never disappear

The odometer said 956 miles. And it was 956 miles of fun! It takes some time to get to Austin. Every so often my phone would ring with Brenda’s burning question, “Where are you now? Are you almost here?” Therese and I would laugh because we were on the way and had been for a long time, but no, we weren’t almost there. Finally we were almost there. With the help of the handy Garmin, which I’ve named Cheree, we spotted the hotel. We were actually greeted at the door! We took our stuff to our respective rooms and headed down to where the action was! We quickly settled in with a little wine, a little pizza and some yarn.


The weekend passed much too quickly. We head home with many memories.

My knitayear is in the second month. I’m thinking pink must mean happy to me! I chose pink today, (Saturday) because I was happy to be with friends and excited for the day and the adventures to come. Sunday brought the drive home and more beautiful wildflowers. I can’t get enough! Every time I see them they bring joy to my eyes, my heart and my soul. I had a red, yellow and pink ladder yarn that reflected the colors of the wildflowers on this day. Monday it was back to reality. I was tired and had a lot to do at work. I chose a thick yarn, gray, pink and light orange. It reflected my mood that varied throughout the day. I was mostly happy, a little ambivalent and a little sad, the after WHIBSIB blues! Keep on knitting.


The long and winding road
I've seen that road before.
It always leads me here. Lead me to your door.
