More on Plane Projects

Last Thursday, armed with many things to do, I left Jonathan behind in Seattle and got on a red-eye flight to Boston. Then I took a three-hour bus ride up to Hanover, where spent I the weekend with my parents and grandparents celebrating my brother Jon's graduation from Dartmouth College. (And I have some funny pictures of that event coming up next!)

As I juggled my carry on bags through security, on and off two planes and one bus, I realized I have become very, very spoiled in my last four years of travel with Jonathan. Not only does he lift my bags and keep me amused with long hours of conversation, he remembers all the numbers--the flight, the time, how long, when, etc. I, on the other hand, could not remember a number for longer than about two minutes, which meant I was constantly stressing out about the responsibility! I don't know how or when this lack of independence snuck up on me, but boy oh boy have I ever slipped down the slippery slope of wife-dom!

Travelling alone did have one advantage. I finished all
three projects I brought along to entertain me! It was a lonely success, but success nonetheless!

Keren,

The vest is a beautiful remake. Wow! Great idea about neckline makeover. Need to think about what to do with some beautiful Norwegian sweaters that the cleaners shrunk but don't have the heart to give or throw away. Have you ever done spool knitting?
