On the Road

Dan and I are leaving tomorrow, with no real itinerary. We have made a few trips like this over the summer, and this will likely be the last this year. During these trips, I get very little knitting time, because I do all the driving. Dan sits and chats. He's good company. We have been to Wisconsin twice, Michigan once. Being summer, we can't take the chance of leaving Piccolo in the car, so I have to board her. After the Michigan trip we were home early, but I couldn't get her home until the vet's office opened on Monday morning. She won't be happy there, and I don't want to prolong the misery. But at least she will be safe. Tomorrow we head west towards Iowa, and the Mississippi river. It's kind of romantic, just wandering with no real plan, just to see what happens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there won't be a gas shortage in any of our destinations. The projects that I'm taking are some socks, and a dog sweater that I designed last year. I neglected to write the pattern down, and now, for the book, I have to re-create it.
