anniversary adventures

Michael and I celebrated 6 years of being married this year. We had a little downtown gettaway, stayed on the 20th floor of the Place Louis Riel. Michael plays basketball with someone who works there, so he got us one of the nicer suites for a great deal.

Those are shots of the view.

We also went to see the Bodies Exhibit. Had dinner at Resto Gare.

In the morning we had breakfast at a place called The Don. I had this thing called quak, it's some kind of cottage cheese patty seasoned with dill or caraway. It looks like a hash brown patty, it was pretty unique.

It was a great little time away from home.

i haven't had a sleepover in ages!

cate & angela come to spend the night!

Cate & I both had echinacea drops to take...so we did it together.

A trip to the MacDonald's Play Place. I'm not sure how parents do this, it was crazy in there.

Building a train with Uncle Michael.

ferns & leaves finished!

this is minutes off the needles, before i wove in ends or blocked it.

again pre-blocked, but i couldn't wait.

i forgot to take pictures of the blocking in progress, and keep wanting to take pictures of it on my neck, post blocking, but for some reason I only imagine that I do it and the pictures never seem to be on my camera, or downloaded onto the computer.

I give up.

Maybe one day I'll get lucky and there will just happen to be a picture of me wearing it and you'll get to see.

where do mixers go when they die?

my beloved kitchenaid mixer went to the repair shop a few weeks ago. i feel kinda lost with out it.

the saddest part is that it's not coming home. it needs so much repair work that it's not worth fixing. sniff.

the only good thing about it (and really there isn't much) is that it is going to make a trip to the states worth it, so we're going in december! the mixer you see above is on loan from my winnipeg parents, who thankfully have two, so they could spare it. so, at least i can do some baking in the mean time. i was getting tired of haystacks and puffed wheat squares...
