It's pouring buckets today, and too dark to photograph the Breton Girl sweater to show you my progress. I am nearly ready to start binding off stitches on the front and back pieces for the armholes.
Chris and I had a terrific weekend. He had another bike race on Sunday and did very well, given his recent work schedule of very late hours and little sleep. Now that this is done, the summer will really start! After the race, we enjoyed a fun picnic with friends and a walk to their town for ice cream. The time with them always goes by too fast.

Speaking of time going by too fast, tomorrow is our 14th wedding anniversary. After my writing class, we are heading out on a road trip, and I promise to share photos of our day if the weather clears up. Road trips are one of our favorite things to do together, stopping at yarn shops, book shops, and bike shops along the way to a hopefully outdoor restaurant, and it will be even better if we can ride with Scarlett's top down. I love the feel of the warm sun on my face (wearing SPF 70 of course).
I completely missed my other anniversary: on Memorial Day weekend, my blog turned three years old. It's amazing to remember all the knitalongs, swaps, and other fun activities I've participated in during that time, like the Get Your Guts in Gear fundraisers and co-hosting last year's Tour de France KAL. I'm looking forward to the next three years and whatever new things we do together!
P.S. Bloggers are truly the kindest people. Jodi read that I was reading "A Rather Lovely Inheritance" and offered to send me her copy of the sequel, "A Rather Curious Engagement," which I received in the mail yesterday. Thank you so much Jodi for your thoughtfulness. I can't wait to read it!
Happy Anniversary, and Blogiversary! I hope you have wonderful weather for your anniversary road trip.

Happy Anniversary and Blogiversary.
I had ordered both books from Amazon, for one cent each plus shipping! Wow! They arrived yesterday, so are on my "to read" pile.
You know you LOVE books when you have a to read pile. :-)
