Socks, Postcards and Adventures

Here's the newest creation spawned from my summer knitting frenzy....they look a bit baggy here, but that may be because they're for John and I snagged them for my little feet in this picture. :) I'm now working on a little sweater for Anna to wear this winter....pictures to come soon. :D

In postcrossing news, this is one of my favorites that I've received so far....it was mailed from Finland. I love the picture! From the back of the card, I've gathered that the artist is Martta Wendelin, but that's about all I can figure out. Tricky languages that I don't speak or read cause difficulties like that. :D
And on to the adventures....John, Grace and I went to the aquarium in Atlanta last Saturday. All in all, a fabulous place, but I would suggest going during the week. The weekend crowd was a bit suffocating at times. I would love to share some pictures from our visit, but I was too silly to remember the camera, so there are none. :( But just imagine whales and whale sharks and sea otters, oh my! Last Friday, I went to the planetarium in Chapel Hill (also no pictures)....good times, but the really exciting part was the loot! :D We got Grace a prism (because every kid should have one), a microscope that hooks up to the TV for super viewing and Grow Snow. Nice. :D Can you tell what this is.......
That picture was taken from a TV screen, so I apologize for the oddities in focus and whatnot. ;)

Our adventures for this week include a zoo/picnic trip with my dad and more time hanging out at my mom's knitting. Her health situation continues to baffle doctors, nurses and family alike. More tests are being run to see if someone can make some sense of the inconsistencies. For now, who knows????
