Greetings from York!

Well, here we are in PA. Right now I am at the hotel catching up on emails. Dave is off working. Soon I will get to my knitting. I got a good bit done yesterday, then ran out of my yarn, so we stopped last night and got some more. After dinner last night we walked around the closest mall. It was big, but not many people were there. Then we went by Dunkin Donuts for dessert/breakfast. Yum!
Tomorrow we hope to go and check out some of the local attractions...maybe Hershey Park, maybe a tour through the Amish country, maybe Gettysburg- we really haven't decided yet. We might get to do more than one if we time it right.
Hopefully we'll have some pictures to post when we get back home.

Off Again, Off Again, Jiggety-Jig

We just had a very nice visit with our parents Carlson...they came and stayed with us for a few days before heading back to St.Louis. We enjoy having our guest room filled, and it was a nice treat to have them as company. We even drove down to GA for a day to visit with the Croteaus too (Dave's sister and family). Kelly (our niece) just finished 6th grade and won all sorts of awards- she's a smart one! This is my new reed diffuser that I got at Pier One. I wanted to try one out to see if they really were as good as they claimed to be. I have to say yes. The scent of this one is "Downpour". It smells very nice, and keeps the living room constantly scented, but it is a nice subtle scent, not overpowering. And I thought it looked really good with the river rocks around it on this candle platform thingy (thanks Sarah!).
Well, Dave's got another trip and this time I get to go with. So tomorrow evening we leave for four days in York, PA. I am going to take some unfinished knitting projects for the 2 days Dave will be working, and Saturday we'll check out some of the local attractions. Then we fly home Sunday morning. I'm sure Dave is sick of traveling, but it will be my first trip in a while, so I'm excited.
