Steveston Village

Steveston Village is a beautiful picturesque and quaint tourist spot in the city of Richmond. Since it hasn't rained much in the last few summers the weather is ideal for sightseeing.
We went to Steveston for LK's b-day and ate at a Mexican restuarant. It was good but I sure miss Californian-Mexican food. After dinner we walked to an ice cream joint and then down to the wharf. This is definitely a tourist trap.

It really is the time to visit Vancouver.

I think this is a birdhouse. It's not something I want in my garden, that's for sure. I thought it was so unusual and ugly I had to take a picture of it for posterity's sake.

    Could you take some pictures of the shirts I sent? I have yet to hear if they fit...or if they even liked them?

    Will do! Yes, they like them. I guess they thot that "trying to phone you" and "phoning and talking to you" were the same thing. Sorry.

    That "birdhouse" is rather strange looking.

Three Down, One to Go!

Yep, she passed. Heidi has her driver's licence. Now my days to chauffeur my girls to the barn are all but over. There may be times when I need to help out but they will be few and far between. It's already been a relief. Just this morning they were up, out and off to the barn with only a phone call to figure out which van to take. Next week should be easier since the plan is to import their already bought VW Rabbit. There's a progressive program here for getting your driver's licence. First, as in every other place, you have to pass a written test. That allows you to display a huge "L" on the back of your vehicle. A lot of kids have a word they use to say what it stands for but the DMV says it stands for "Learner". And for the next little while, is it two years? you practice driving. Sounds like what most DMVs require. Next you take the road test and if you pass you get to display an "N" which stands for "Novice". (Most kids have...

Is It Even Worth It? Hemlock Woes

Image
I've been working on this tam all afternoon and am beginning to wonder if it's even worth it to continue. This project has been nothing but trouble from the start. Years ago I began this as an afghan but soon realized I had confused this yarn (one skein) with a very similar yarn that had five skeins. I found out that I could easily convert it into a tam and a free pattern was available on Raverlry! I worked on it for a while and after following the pattern realized it was going to be way too big. Off the needles it went! The tam sat in the ether for 13 years and I just re-discovered it today. Unfortunately, there was no record of needle size. Nor was there any indication of what row I was on. Also, it appears that the yarn is disintegrating! I unraveled it for a few rows to get rid of the funky and raveled yarn and then tried to figure out what round I was on. Alas! I threw up my hands in frustration and just decided to finish it off by doing a rib of knit 2, purl 1. Except it ...

My New Favorite! Salted Caramel Mocha No Whip With Foam

Image
I tried this drink at Starbucks and knew I could make it at home for much cheaper. Salted Caramel Mocha with ...celery salt? What??? We had milk. We had chocolate sauce. We had caramel syrup. I made some turbonado sugar/sea salt mix and put it in an empty Starbucks "Hawaiian Sugar Sea Salt" Shaker - or so I thought. It turns out I had grabbed a bottle of celery salt and mixed it with the salt and the sugar. It really doesn't taste that bad but I think I'll be a little more careful next time.
