Back from vacation

Well, it's been quiet here because I've been on vacation for a week. I usually take a week in July or August to go to North Carolina and visit my Mom & Dad, 2 older brothers & their families. My older daughter was working in Anchorage for 5 months and is home for a short time, before heading to Denver for 3 months. She asked if we could visit the family while she was home. So, after finishing teaching for the year (last day April 25) we took off for warm spring weather! I took a tapestry bag full of crochet books, hooks, patterns, and 2 doilies that I'm working on. Had a chance to show off some of my work, including the baby sweater I made for my niece, but didn't make a single stitch. Too many other fun things to do with the family. My sister & her younger daughter flew in from Texas, so it was almost everyone. We did lots of visiting, played games, watched movies, listened to music, talked, joked,...
I had thought about checking out a CGOA group that meets in Greensboro, but we were busy with the visiting. Maybe next time?
I forgot to take a picture of the baby sweater before I wrapped it and put it in the gift bag. Maybe sometime I'll get a picture of my grand-nephew wearing the sweater. In the meantime, if you're interested, I got the pattern from Kay's, the information is in my post of April 29th.
I didn't get a chance to read my e-mail, and I get digests from about 7 crochet groups. I've been reading most of today, and still have 70-some digests to read.
