Random....

It's been a up and down week here at Soper Creek. (Go with the flow kinda thing!..'Creek' get it!)

1. Helmet liners are coming in, they look amazing, we still need more. Great way to try out the softness of the Cascade 220. (Helmet liner projects are $5.00 each!) Running a little fundraiser if you would like to donate money to have one of my 35 knitters knit one up for you instead!

2. Ordered a bunch of stuff for fall, great new yarns, fabulous new needles (outside the box fabulous!).

3. Getting ready for the Sidewalk sale next Thursday. Selected yarns will be priced at clearance prices.

4. This morning I decided to do a World Wide Knit in Public event on Friday evening from 4pm - 8 pm. Roses, the coffee shop next door will be open and we can knit outside on the sidewalk, or inside the shop or the cafe!

5. Our Insurance agent is coming on Monday to inspect the house! (the whole house!)

Lots to do...

See you Tuesday.

I don't crochet?

Crochet and I don't usually get along. The terminology always messes me up. I pretend that I don't know, it's just better for everyone involved.

I was playing on the Internet, I do that sometimes, and found this:

Why would I find this so cute?

Because 'The Girl' finished her degree in History, with a minor in Art History! Way to go Girl!

They grow up too fast! 'The Boy' starts in September!

(Graduation Owl) that's the link for the pattern. I used one of my favourite yarns 'Perth'.

Bowmanville's a busy place!

This past weekend we had the Fund Raiser for Wounded Warriors, with 1500 motorcycles filling the downtown. This weekend the Rotary Ribfest takes over the Garnet Rickard Complex!

For 3 Days, June 11, 12, 13, there will be lots of family activities and great tasting ribs! This is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bowmanville and involves all members of the community!

For more information: Ribfest

Next Weekend, the 17, 18, 19th of June, the downtown merchants have their annual Sidewalk sale and 50's Festival. (Saturday is the 50's Festival, the street will be closed again to allow for the show and shine exhibit and give the merchants the opportunity to display goods onto the street, but be warned parking is limited. Good spots are taken up early, or come later there's always room then.)

I have put most of the sale stuff aside, I am getting tired of looking at it, but it will come out again on Thursday (June 17th)! (There will be some great deals...we all love deals...even me!)

No excuses, there's a lot of reasons to come to town!

See you Soon!

It was noisy....

It's about 4 o'clock and the motorcycles have come and gone. They arrived in Bowmanville about 12:30 it took about 40 minutes for the parade to finish going through the town.

It was noisy, then I kind of 'tuned' out the sound and then all of a sudden it was quiet. There were literally 1000's of them! It was quite a sight. We hope they raised a lot of money for the Wounded Warriors!

See you Tuesday.

4000 motorcycles!

4000 or more motorcycles are coming to Bowmanville, Saturday!The street will be closed to traffic, no parking!

Motorcycles arrive about noon, leave about 4. Come and see the event or come early or later!


I am at a Breakfast meeting so I might be a tad late! 10:30 maybe!


Have a great Weekend!

What every parent wants to hear!

A message was left at the house: "Could 'the Boy' contact the school when he gets this message?". The Boy calls the school, leaves a message that he called, they call back, leaving a message, wondering why he called.

The course he is taking is a math course that is required to get into the University program that he has been accepted into. (We have had many issues with this course, he couldn't take it during highschool, he was away last summer and most of the fall on his big adventure ) If he doesn't receive the credit for the course he can't go to School in the fall. The message has brought out the MOM in me and I am worried about the reason for the unscheduled call.

This morning I call, because I am a MOM. Turns out they are questioning one of the marks on his assignments because his final mark is too high, 103%!

whew!

June!

The pile of mulch became just a little bump on the lawn. The Lawn now needs some TLC, rain would be nice, but not today!

The Perennials are slowly taking over the gardens, but so are the weeds, the mulch will help!

The knitting bag remains full of projects!

June already looks like a busy month. Sales Reps are calling to make appointments to see the new fall stuff!

That's all I've got today!

See You Soon!

I found something for you to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prUCCh_NXGY&feature=player_embedded
