Negotiations with Stacey continue but I do have a photo to post from Sunday that isn't in review. Two pretty happy knitting (and shooting) bloggers.
My brother hosted us on his land in the mountains. As a firearms instructor, he does a lot of shooting and we did some target practice on Sunday. I guess Stacey enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. It is great when you can hit the target. I think it important to be familiar with firearms and not be afraid of a tool. Firearms are tools. That's it, folks. Tools.
Today I'm in San Diego. My eldest nephew attends UC-San Diego and we hooked up with him for dinner this evening. Tomorrow, we will get the campus tour, take a tour of the harbor, and perhaps check out some of the museums. This afternoon we viewed the Hotel Del Coronado and walked on the beach. It was a bit cool by California standards but compared to Wisconsin, I thought it was great. The hotel is a historic treasure and a beautiful hotel. It just radiates atmosphere and I'm sure the building has many stories to tell. Tonight we are just hanging at the hotel with a few beverages and snacks on the balcony overlooking the water. Vacation. Ahhhh.
Awww - great photo!! I can't wait to see more! And I'm glad to see that your brother is wearing the Clothing of the Homeland - but where's Bucky??

ACK! Bad wind-blown, hiking and bouncing hair. :D Must use more hairspray next time.
San Diego looks wonderful. Enjoy your evening of relaxing and have drink for me. Did you dip your toes in the water?
Tools... I like that. :D I'm still wondering if I can convince the doctor to write a prescription for one. *ahem* EVIL ANGIE!

There are my girls! :D
I thought she had pink hair. Hmmmmm...
I agree with you about the tools. It's like dpns, in a way. No point in being afraid. Just learn how to use them the right way. Btw, I'm hoping to see that photo of the evil one I've heard about.
I'm so glad you're enjoying your visit, Angie. What a shame it's limited to the south state.
