Ohio Road Trip

In early December Larry and I ventured to Piqua, Ohio to visit Larry's Grammie. We loaded all the dogs in the car, because we had specific directions from Grammie that if we didn't bring all of the dogs, we weren't welcomed. So, off with all the dogs we went, on what Larry called a 9 hour drive (it was actually 12 hours)! He again told me it was 9 hours home (shhhhh don't tell him it was another 12 hours home.) We had a wonderful time visiting with home cooked meals, except for lunches at Burger King. Grammie and Rich have farm land with lots of woods and even a pond. The dogs loved to run though the woods and play in the leaves. Grammie was so worried they would wander onto the not so frozen pond , we didn't even show them there was a pond and all was safe!

Larry had this great idea that I needed to learn to crochet, I wasn't so sure. So, we made a trip to Joann's fabric where I picked out some yarn and a few pattern books I wanted to try out. I was crocheting in no time and I love it. I made the hat I am wearing in the pictures as my first project! I have finished a matching scarf and hat, it's so much fun! It's also great to make road trips go faster and Larry appreciates that I am busy and not getting grumpy! I still call Grammie when I get stuck and she walks me through the new stitch. I'm not supposed to reveal this BUT... Larry learned to knit while we were there. More out of proving us girls wrong, but I think he secretly enjoys it! He made a cute little hat one day and is now working on a scarf for me (What a good husband)! Every time I brought the camera out he would hide his work... but I caught him and of course had to put it in this collage! Give him crap, I love it!!! I hope we make it back to Ohio soon, maybe in the summer when it is warmer and we can hang out by the pond and the dogs can swim!
