The trek out to STRONGIsland (as Georgie kept referring to it) was very nice, punctuated by the miracle of NO TRAFFIC coming AND going on the parking lot known as the LIE. And no, I’m not lying. In fact, the only traffic we hit the entire day was on RT 27 going to East Hampton. G thought the beach was supposed to be the best there, but it turns out the ones in Southampton rock even harder. Lovely, lovely beaches you’ve got out there. The water was ultra clean and the beach was ultra soft and it really was some of the best I’ve ever been on.
The job was great – great kids, great parents, great light. Shooting on the beach – getting wet while photographing kids in the surf is just as much fun for me as it is for them!
Not much knitting to report as I drove the three hours out there and the three hours home – seems like G can’t take a day off anymore without some crisis exploding at work, but that’s okay. I was happy for the company.
My friend’s coming over today from out of town. She’s kind of OCD about keeping things clean and a pig wouldn’t even live in my house these days. I’m almost tempted to leave it and see what kind of palpitations it gives her – is that mean? Or seriously ask her to clean it for me – that’s what G thinks I should do – I told her I’d pay her. I’m so tired though I think it will take all my energy to clean myself let alone my shithole house, so that might be all she gets.
Tomorrow I leave for my sister’s for the week, so blogging may be sporadic. I’m only bringing socks with me, I think. Hopefully I’ll manage to finish a couple of singles and possibly start on a couple of seconds. Did you all go congratulate Vicki on her first pair? They are FABULOUS and I dare say I may take a teeny bit of credit for getting her to start on them. Just a little.
Anyway, have a great weekend and a rock star week. I’ll be in when I can.
L, C
(Oh and to all who asked, the beach in yesterday’s photo is Manasquan in New Jersey. Never knew the Jersey shore could look so good, huh?!)
I am this close to being insulted that you didn’t stop by! this close, I tell ya!
have fun with all your visiting!
I remember driving through New Jersey some years ago and thinking (surprised!) how pretty it was.
So funny about your friend… reminds me of my sisters, the twins! S always says that if K runs out of things to do while visiting, she can always clean (and she does, even windows!).
Take almost a big chunk ‘o credit and run! ; ) Have a great week.
Glad that you didn’t hit traffic, C. Have a great time at your sisters…I’ll miss you! – jen
sounds wonderful! have a great time at your sister’s…gotta email you about some cards.
Have fun–we’ll miss you!
Have a great week at your sister’s!
I need your friend at my place.
Love the beach photo. We should all stick with what we do best and leave the ‘dirty work’ for those who love it 😉
I did short row heels on my trip! They were/are a disaster. I just don’t know how to keep the holes under control either and even in the instructions it says when finished with the sock to ‘tidy up’ the holes in the heal. That means even the person who wrote the book cant’ keep holes from happening! Knit on!
Hope you are having a fabulous time. I know you will be bringing back some great photos…for sure!
Have fun at your sisters! Love the picture of the week..just beautiful:)
Hey Cara! I missed several of your posts last week–finally getting the chance to catch up (even though you are not here) I hope you are having a great time with your sister.
I may have seen your other sister last week at the Holocaust Museum… I was there for a whole afternoon… I would not have even known it!
Take care~
