WW Squared

I zipped off to Iowa for the past two days.  I go regularly for two purposes:  a)  for the Jackson Recovery Center Board Meetings; and b) to visit family.  I took two Wonderful Wallaby projects for airplane knitting.  I finished one on the flight out.  I only needed to finish the hood of the Pinky Tuscadero Size 2 Wallaby, so that was easy.  The other Wallaby was my constant knitting companion during the trip.

Here I am at the local High School tennis meet with my SIL Priscilla, knitting industriously on the Wonderful Wallaby (adult small).  

It was so wonderful to get to spend time with family - and do mean things like make my nieces and nephews stare into the glaring sun for a photo op.  

I have a routine for every trip.  I land mid-morning and then meet whoever can join us at Chili's for lunch.  This time I chuckled as my sisters took time to catch up in person (as opposed to catching up on Facebook) and one casually mentioned "I haven't seen you or the kids since... (pause to recollect)... the last time Jennifer was in town!"  I just love being a catalyst.

These quick trips home are some of my favorite getaways. They're brief but packed with family, fun and excitement.  I can hardly wait until the next trip home.
