bad penny - grand lake


finally we decided to stop for the night at the grand lake lodge in grand lake, co. well not in the lake, above the lake, in the town...nevermind. if you ever get the chance, go. the cabins are so cute. my mom and i slept in twin beds for the first time in who knows how long. there is a wide front porch with swings and you could just sit for hours looking out at the lake. its a beautiful little place that somehow reminds me of the resort from dirty dancing. no, no, there was no dancing, and patrick swayze was nowhere to be found. but i did get to sit on a swing on the front porh and work on bad penny.
and despite staring out at the view i accomplished quite a bit. i reknit up to the error i made the day before and ended up with about 4 inches of completed knitting before it was too cold to sit outside any longer. can you imagine, i needed a sweater in june! how much better could it get? a fabulous view and knitting! i'm tempted to move to the mountains for the rest of the summer!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
