Here is where I spend the weekend! My parent's mountain cabin. We haven't been there in close to 10 years. Small, cozy, warm, quiet, and...booby trapped! The plumbing had a small problem, the relief drain didn't shut off. Hubby fixed it. The chair by the stairs, broke. Looked like someone had already tried to fix it. Hubby fixed it..his way. The bricks in the wood stove, one fell, and broke. Hubby fixed it...his way. The vacum cleaner had a clog. A big one. Hubby fixed it. I forgot the coffee. By the time I realized it the little store was closed and I'd have to wait till morning. I am addicted to caffiene. I'll admit it. I woke up with a massive headache. I popped two Excedrin. Only they were blue. Didn't think about it at the time. But after a phone call I was informed "someone" had put Excedrin PM in the Excedrin bottle. Yikes! Or rather zzzzz. I got my coffee but it only kept the desire to zzzz at bay. I still was in a fog most of the day. After the traps were worked out it was a great weekend!
It was absolutely gorgeous on the mountain! Warm for the mountain at 40 degrees and no new snow so it was perfect to stroll around in. Except I was looking forward to new snow and woke Sunday morning to....RAIN! On the Mountain! The Northwet is having a particularly weird weather spell.
No TV, no internet, no phone, meant a great time to sit n knit. I finished R's legwarmers. It was a free pattern I found on ravelry called Legwarmies by Never Not Knitting. I could have knit them in a weekend just like the pattern said since I knit the second one in several hours on Saturday. I used the new Red Heart Heart and Sole sock yarn in the Spring Stripe colorway. More details on ravelry.

But Murphy's Law did not control everything this weekend! Meet my son and fiancee! They're engaged and chose this weekend to tell us. We've expected it for awhile since they've been dating about a year and a half and by the time they're married it will be two. We are thrilled to be adding to our family a new daughter and granddaughter. I'm sure their will be more wedding posts in the near future! They've chosen a date and talked to our Pastor but our new daughter (in law) is still treading water as to what she wants her wedding to be like. Sniff, sniff, I love weddings, especially when it's such a special couple.
Lest you think I'm not excited enough since I waited 3 days to post this...I was under order of silence by my son! But the wait is over!
