In a House Full
As you know Deb and Chappy came and visited Liz and I this weekend. We had a fabulous time! A really good weekend. I didn't take that many pictures, we kind of took turns, but I did get one that is my favorite...this was at the height of some silliness on Saturday evening. I think this picture requires a little caption contest. So, you have until Friday at 10:00 p.m. to leave your caption in the comments. There will be a special prize for the winner...Yes it will be fiber related. I will announce the winner on Monday. OK...here's the scene; Give it your best shot.
Is that picture hilarious or what? I love it! Hope you guys can come up with a rocking caption to match it.
Well as you have probably already read on Liz's and Deb's sites, we all had a very active and fun time. Liz prepared some fabulous dinner's that perfectly set the evenings with good wine and conversation. Oh, and of course, we had a pack of dogs going wild around us...well some. Chappy maintained a very quiet and demure stature.
So unlike our dogs that are used to our get togethers being all about them. Poor Chappy seemed quite confused as to all the excitement and interaction. When things got too wound up, he had his mommy for comfort.
Banjo absolutely had a blast with Max; They went non-stop for two days. Max, thank you for wearing out my puppy...It's such a break from my norm lately and I'll take every minute that I can! Marley got in on some of the fun, but was quite jealous that she couldn't have Max all to herself.
Uncle Kirk enjoyed having a "little one" around too. Hmmmm...I even got him to say that Liz could get another dog after he kept hugging on Banjo.
The dogs definitely took over the house and made it their own vacation while we played with all types of fiber.
Deb and Chappy brought some GREAT prezzies for us. I'll have to take a picture when there is more light and post it tomorrow. Thanks though for bringing us such thoughtful and great presents! I can't wait to start using them! I am so happy that you could make it down...And of course, I look forward to visiting with you and going to Rhinebeck!
My weekend ended perfect. Jeff, Allen and I went for a super-long Kayak trip on Sunday.
The river's waves and breeze made for some beautiful relaxing trip and a great workout on our paddle back against the tide. Of course, some swimming and good times were had and a great grilled evening meal topped it all off.
Don't forget to join in on the caption contest! And I'll be sure to post my pictures of all the swatches and progress for the "Chuck's Cabled Socks." They are looking fabulous!
OMG ... Banjo is so big now! He looks like the big brother instead! I love the picture of all the cuties behind the windowpane! All of them are so handsome/beautiful!

"Corn Kung-Fu? Um, I don't think so."
I love the photo of all 4 dogs behind the window too - wonderful!

Yep, that pretty much sums it up better than I could have.
I had a blast having you guys over! Max misses his girlfriend and Banjo. Max and Banjo really are so freakin' cute together!

Oh boy, that picture? Absolutely hilarious! I wouldn't even know where to begin with the caption--and I was there!
Chappy and I really had a great time, and Banjo is so darn adorable, when he's not doing his impression of the Flash. And Marley is such a nice little JRT . . . except, of course, when snapping at my dog just because SHE was tired. But still, I loved her anyway!
How long is it until Rhinebeck??

Okay, I've got one:
"That Liz! Does she really think she can cook those ears of corn just by willpower?"

"Hmm, 'Corn Ears before Dinner' may be a real yoga pose, but she still looks awfully tense to me."

The pic of dogs behind the glass door is a GREAT shot!!
Hmmm....the captions that come to mind are not printworthy! LOL

For the caption, think of the Ogre in Shrek:
"Get in mah belleeee"
Love the picture of the dogs by the window. How cute!!

Liz: And this is how you block lace.
Deb: I don't think so....

Liz: (Thinking to herself)...I hope shelley does not turn this picture into a contest on her website...
Deb: (Thinking to herself) ...I know what shelley should do!...
Funny?

I'm so jealous of your guys fun! I wish Abner and I could have partook in all the festivities.
The dogs look like they had an absolute blast.
Caption: "Confucious (totally spelled wrong I know) says the one who uses corn as weapon shall never go hungry"

I know it's too late, but I have a caption:
I so can NOT knit with these!
