Vacation all I every wanted.....

To quote the GoGo's - "Vacation all I ever wanted, Vacation HAD to get away..." After two weeks of moving and setting up the new location for the store, a vacation was as necessity! The whole family with extended family members (aunt, uncle, cousins, grandmother) went to Provincetown, Cape Cod.

I am sunburned, relaxed and jonesing to knit. I found that knitting and sand do not necessarily get along. And believe me I tried. I did however almost finish my Clapotis and then duly ran out of yarn! Problem being I bought this from my beloved knitting teacher Cookie from her stash (small yarn shop size stash I might add) and LYS doesn't have the same color. Lost the label so I don't have the color lot number! I do know it is Blue Heron Beaded Rayon - Sandstone. My search is on. I am not one to not finish a project!

Back to vacation - oh what fun and what laughs! We happen to be in Provincetown during Bear Week!

Bears: "[a] subculture of gay men known as bears, who embrace natural body hair" - The New York Times.

My cousin Lauren's boyfriend is a large hairy man and was quite the attraction wherever we went - he was loved by the boys that was for sure!

I enjoyed the street performances - especially the gentleman who was approximately 60 yrs old dressed in ripped fishnet stockings, size 14 purple sequin dress, red shoes and his wig on sideways and playing an electric guitar what a vision of beauty he was!

The sunsets on the beach were stunning,
and it was great to see my 90 year old grandmother jumping in the waves with my kids - memories they will have forever! So much fun!

Now back to normal life I need to start a project and thinking socks are in order - have yarn and enough to finish the project.
