bunrabOkay, the last post that wasn't a meme or something was while we were in MA for my cousin's wedding. So here's some pictures:
Three views of the George Washington Bridge, on the trip from Baltimore to West Brookfield, MA:
Jesse and his new wife Ruth; Jesse's daughter Sara as bridesmaid; Jesse's son Josh as groomsman (we'll refer to them, for convenience, as my niece and nephew, even though what they really are is first cousins once removed):
I don't have any pictures from the knitting convention that I went to, the 11th through the 14th. I had fun. I started more projects than I'll probably finish. I bought more yarn than I really had money for. I met really nice people. I didn't get enough sleep. It was, in other words, a con, despite the absence of science fiction.
A small ensemble from the Montgomery Village Community Band constituted itself the Montgomery Village Stammtisch Band, and played a few Oktoberfest gigs. This picture is from one at a private club near Annapolis. I made the vests that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The last weekend in September, the weekend before Jesse's wedding, S and I and Cindy drove out to Shepherdstown, WV (about 90 minutes away) to visit PIGS, an animal sanctuary that we support, which mostly has rescued potbellied pigs. Nice drive, nice afternoon scritching various animals, and a stop at a roadside stand that's always there, the Catoctin Kettle Co., to get caramel corn and homemade jam - and dark-chocolate-drizzled caramel corn, which is TOO good. Cindy took a couple pictures of us:
That catches us up, I think, on everything except books. I've gotta catch up on those yet.
