Happy 4th of July

We are all headed down to Virginia and Nevada City for the 4th. For a 2 hour car ride the boys will be able to enjoy an "old fashion Independance Day celebration." Virginia and Nevada City are original Montana gold rush towns. If I remember my history correctly one of them used to be the state capitol back in the 1800's. I guess it is a good thing that we are going~ need to brush up on my history. Yesterday we had a picnic with my brothers and their children. Nothing fancy at all chicken and ribs. And when I say chicken....there is a lot of chicken. Fifity some pieces. Apparently when hubby went to the deli he found out that you could get 25 pieces for $20 or 50 pieces for $30. That's a huge box of chicken. I finished my niece's sundress. She'll be getting a better one as my sewing is really rusty. Picture to come. I still have one more cap sleeve to do for my secret project. I've started the Indigo Ripple skirt. It is an excellent project for vacation. Very easy mindless knitting. All stockinette in the round with the exceptions of increases over the hips. Eventually after 13 inches of stockinette in the round I'll have some lace work. But I think that is 9 inches from now. Last night I also pulled out a pair of socks I'd been working on. The two toned beige and hand dyed lavender sheep socks. I had finished the first sock a couple of weeks ago but it was too short in the foot. So last night I tore the toe out added some more length to the foot and am now working on the toe. I will try and post links to all of the places we went and are going when I get home. Being on dial up is the pits even though I just knit while I'm waiting for the next page to load. Happy 4th of July!

I hope the historical trips were a delight. I really want to go visit Montana now. It's been nearly 30 years since I visited.
