It was a nice day here. The temperature got up to 85F around 5pm, right when I was outside pruning the climbing roses (ouch). I love heat, though being in the sun is different than the same heat heat and a porch with a roof! It was good timing, though, as we had thunderstorms later in the evening. (I hope it will clear up so I can ride my bike to Habibi practice Wednesday and computer lab on Thursday.)

I worked at Foster with the children in the computer lab for a few hours today. The person who usually works the Tuesday shift was on vacation, but the kids were pretty fine today and it went well.

Then I ran a few errands and came home for some food, until my basic knitting class at 6pm. Three of my students came back for an extra session, and one fulled/felted her project in class. The second finished all her seaming and learned how to make I-Cord for a handle before she fulls hers. The third got one of two seams done and should be find on her own. If she gets stuck, she lives a block from me and knows where I live… they all also know I’m available at Foster on Thursdays when I am in the computer lab for the adult lab session.

After class I ran over to the Mid-Michigan Knitting Guild knit-in at Sarah Peasley’s house. I don’t get to these very often, but it was great fun. Sharon P was there, and a bunch of non-bloggers as well.

It was especially great to see Evelyn there, as the last time I saw her was after her bypass surgery. She’s back living at home again and glad of it. She is quite a good gardener, but this year she is doing flowers and not food. Interesting… this is the first year I have done food. Life changes, doesn’t it?

Oh, here are some photos I have not had a chance to show yet. There is a club of Airstream travel trailer owners, a huge club many thousands of people large, which stayed in Lansing last week.

The Airstreams are such beautiful things… shiny!!! I love shiny!!! I told you that yesterday when talking about the Valiant. The club was so large, they could not fit all the people in one area. Many of them were near the Airport (photo 1). Overflow was in many places but I found them across the street from the Marshall Street Armory (photo 2). It was shiny heaven for me to drive by. The last few left yesterday. Sigh… it was fun while it lasted.
