The Medal!

Here is a copy of the Knitting Olympic Gold Medal that everyone who completed their projects earned. This is so awesome! I am amazed at the amount of work that Stephanie and her team did in organizing this event. I'm also impressed with the fact that over 4,000 knitters participated, supported each other, visited foriegn blogs and challenged themselves to be better. Maybe knitters should unite and run the world! At least everyone would be warmer.

My Dad and Grandpa Porgy came all the way up to our home again to help out. They are helping us fix some of the unique features that might not be appreciated by future buyers. This house has been a nightmare since we moved in. If we knew then the extent of work and the amount of money it required we would have burned the damned thing down and walked away when my in-laws died.

Brian is working hard down in Oregon and is still busy looking for permanent employment. It sucks having him away from home. But we are grateful for the work that he's doing and overwhelmed with our friends who are putting him up/up with him!

I'm putting together a 4th secret pal package! This has been lots of fun. Some are already discussing SP8! I don't know if I'll do that one. It depends on where we are living and how many other activities are in the works.

Time to run. We're out of milk again (we go through 5 gallons a week) and I need to pick up a birthday present for a boy in my daughter's class. I have no idea what 10 year old boys like and I don't know his mother, etc. Sounds like a candidate for a gift certificate!
