Going Up North Today

J & I are leaving this morning to go camping overnight on a lake about an hour north of Grand Rapids.  Neither of us have been to said lake before, which is exciting.
J is still abed.  Our drive north will be nearly three hours, and we also plan to stop in Grand Rapids for eats and to browse our favorite camping-goods store.  I'd dearly prefer not to pitch our tent in utter darkness, so I better make a move to get J up and at 'em very soon.  We still have to load up!  Boy, nothin' like winging it, eh?
My sister still has my camera.  I am having some separation anxiety about this, as I have plenty of new things to take photographs of.  I might pick it up from her house on our way up north today so I can take photos of the woods, the lake, & the like.


Lake shot from a camping trip a year ago.  I needed some eye candy in this post.

By the way, I have been suffering from a sort of "knitting sickness" lately.  I can't seem to put my needles down, but when I knit I am rife with worry.  My latest project is truly beautiful (no joke), but every few rounds I make another error and have to rip, rip, rip.  My color choices have given me slight concern...I can't decide if the scheme is magickal or a mess.  To top it off, I'm using leftover sock yarn (stash-bustin') and ye Gods, I hope I have enough to finish this thing!  Maybe it's because the design is a mishmash of a published pattern and my own insanity...?  In any case, this mystery project is halfway done, so pics will arrive soon!
Till next time...
