Well, that was quite the hiatus.  Sorry about that.

First:

Happy Anniversary, Sweetie! 

21 wonderful years!  (Does that mean our marriage is now legal?  Could it go off and drink on its own now?) 

And what does one receive from a wonderful hubbie on a 21st anniversary?  Apparently, the 21st anniversary  is for ice cream!!  Not just any ice cream but my very favorite flavor ever!  He had it shipped here overnight from Buffalo after calling in a special request to Anderson's (yes, the restaurant of beef-on-weick fame) corporate.  Behold!



Two quarts of Anderson's Graham Cracker Ice Cream.  Have I mentioned?  He's good!  Really good!  (Oh, and it's only a summer flavor so Holly Anderson, of said corporate family, called local restaurants to see which one had any left.  So, thank you too, Holly!)


Anyway..... so there was....


The first day of school.

And a trip to Corning Glass works where we saw...



Beautiful glass objects of art.                                                     Ancient  glass.

 

Unusually shaped glass.                                                A glass flute.



And one case of ugly.  Sorry, that isn't actually fair.   I don't really have an issue with the glass, what can perhaps be described best as, a butt.  The artist rendered that shape accurately and it's certainly an interesting use of color.  (Perhaps the artist wishes his/her butt was this colorful. Perhaps it already is.Hmmm.) But...the other object. Clearly the artist is extremely talented but a world of possibilities and he/she went for a clown.  A clown?!  A glass clown.  Combines creepy and fragile.  Best of both worlds? (Please see my long running issues with clowns.)

And, of course, there was the Fingerlakes Fiber Fest.  My all time favorite fiber event of the whole year!



There were cute animals!




Wonderful DD#1!



And, of course, yarn!

More to come on purchases made and activities since.
