Last night we returned from our annual, week-long family beach week. It was an especially good week this year, following traditional beach patterns of beginning the day with bicycle rides (and walks!) to get the newspaper outside the island store; mid-morning treks to the beach, balancing towels, digging tools, and chairs; lazy afternoons reading and napping in the beach house; and evening communal meals and family time.
One night we celebrated the birthday of my niece Mollie and her twins. My yarn bag provided me with a gift for Mollie (two hand-knit dishcloths using the Waffle Knit pattern from Homespun Living ) and yarn to chain stitch ribbons for gifts of board books for the twins.
It is good to get away, and home is all the sweeter for having been gone.
