I was looking forward to this week for a long time. Up, up and away... my wife and I were supposed to go Hot Air Ballooning this Sunday. We tried this a month ago, but it was postponed due to weather. The last make up date available was today, this Sunday at 3:00. Thank God it was mid-60's and sunny today (in Wisconsin and in November mind you!). Well, I called the air balloon hot line right before we left (just in case). The flight was cancelled! The 5-10 mph winds were too much! I still can't believe it. It was a gorgeous day out today.
Now I had to scramble. My "new things" tasks deadline is at midnight every Sunday night. I went over to my brothers house and ended up talking to my niece, we were looking for ideas and sure enough knitting came to us. I had my teacher and she had her eager student. It took a while to get the hang of it, but I'm pretty sure I have it down now. It is really difficult when you start. Yet, when you get into the groove, knitting is very relaxing. I still need to work some kinks out, but my scarf is on its way. Thanks again to my niece.
