Today we (Dad, Mom & oldest brother) celebrated Father's Day by cleaning out the refrigerator in the office, had lunch at Outback, did a little shopping at Shopko, and then helped my brother move some boxes from his place to our garage.
After that, Rosie's swimming pool was brought out for a little "swimming" (it's a small kiddie swimming pool but I'm thinking of upgrading to a larger one). Mom and I soaked our feet and for some reason, Rosie didn't want to go into the pool but since she has no qualms about going into the duck/goose swimming pool at the Chicken Ranch (our friend's farm) or the river at the dog park, I don't think it was because of our stinky feet.
So while Rosie was lounging around on the deck, Mom and I worked on projects. Mom worked on an organizational project and I worked on the second hat for Mauricio (which would be his first now, right?). It isn't as intricate as the Herringbone Tweed (though I will take another stab at the Herringbone at a later date) so there is a pretty good chance this hat will be completed early this week. Would have stayed outside longer but it felt like it was sprinkling so we packed things up and went inside.
Sometime while I was folding the fabric I washed yesterday and vacuuming, it rained which may have put a damper on the next item on my to-do list but the porch was relatively dry, though it was extremely humid outside. So while the light was still good, I took pictures of the most recent stash acquisitions and hope to have everything posted on Ravelry and put away sometime later this week.
After supper, registered for two classes at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival in September. First class is Friday afternoon and the second is an all day class on Sunday. There were more classes that I would like to sign up but want to leave Saturday free so I can go shopping with friends and hang out with Mom who will be camping with me that weekend at the festival.
That's enough of this, now back to Lord of the Rings and knitting.
Happy Father's Day to All!
