Adding Pictures of Trip

Here are the pictures that I promised. This a picture taken at Dry Falls. After the Ice Age the land was covered with water and this is used to be a waterfall.

The next picture is taken from Crown Point Vista of Grand Coulee Dam and Lake Roosevelt behind the dam.

This picture is Rocky Reach Dam near Wenatchee. The visitor center was closed by the time we got there. The guard let us through to see the fish ladder and the grounds. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous (have several pics of the plants and an old turbine).

Happenings Update!!!

I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post.
To start off with the shawl for my mother is almost done but still not sure if I will be able to complete it on time. I will have to work solely on that to make sure. The Queen Anne's Lace Shawl has been put on the back burner unitl I finish this one.
I've been having fun entering bookmark contests on Monthly Threads Kal-Cal . It's been a lot of fun figuring out what to make based on criteria for the month (sorry no pictures since I'm at work).
I've also been enjoying swaps at Stuff Knitters Gotta Have and Want. Some really great ideas for themes for stitch markers.
I actually won a book from The Gathering Room on knit skirts. They're beautiful designs.

My mom invited me to go to Grand Coulee with her to visit my brother's gravesite on Monday. We took a different route home through Bridgeport, Brewster then headed south to Lake Chelan and onwards to Wentachee and Rocky Reach Dam then homewards. We got home about 10:00 pm and we left home about 9:00 am. I took lots of pictures along the way and will have to share some in my next post. All in all it was agreat day to spend with my mom.
