Beach

These are some pics from a recent trip to Murrells Inlet to visit my family. Below is Dominic and his boogie board, Anthony playing mini golf and my dad enjoying his King Crab Legs at this favorite restaurant Gulf Stream.
















These photo are from Anthony while we waited for our lunch at Greg's Cabana Bar and Grill. They do have wonderful hamburgers. If you make it to Murrell's Inlet, SC any time soon they are a must try!

Packing

The boys and I are off on an adventure! Going to grandma's house---let's just hope we don't run into any big bad wolfs! They would have their hands full with us!
I am sure that I will finish my Shasha skirt. Start Cochella. And finish two commissioned pieces. Not too much to do in a few days, I just need grandma to step up to the plate and take control of the boys!!!

Why?

What do you do when you want to call a friend that is no longer a friend? To make matters worse is that I don't know why she is no longer a friend. I have asked and I have not gotten a response. What a difference a year makes between friends. Last spring.... working out, coffee shops, lunches, play dates, drinking at our favorite watering hole. This year nothing. Last July fourth.....friends. Actually, my best friend in Mooresville. This year nothing. And Why? Why the change? I know that if we were truly as close as I thought we were; then we could discuss what happened. Alas, that is not the case. Well here is a quick letter to my friend. I know this post is far from normal. I needed to get this out. This is my closure.

Dear Friend,
I miss talking to you. I miss our workouts. I miss heading to the coffee shop. I miss boat rides with the kids. Didn't we plan trips together with the kids??? What about the girls weekends that never happened? Do you miss these things? I would love to be friends all I need is an explanation. Just be a friend and talk to me. My friend, I know that you will not read this. But if by some strange chance you do. Call me if you want to talk. I would call you but I have tried that already. This week has not been an easy one and I needed to talk to you.
Forever Your Friend,
Maria



Knit on,

The base and bottom ruffle of my Sasha skirt is finished in Navy. I frogged my bind off because I wanted the skirt a touch longer. I am now working my way up! The next color is Grape. I was hoping to finish this long ago. Now I am pacing my self, to a slow and steady finish. Next will be Cochella. My Ravelry queue is getting longer and longer. I know that I have many lace projects listed, I do not intend on doing all of them I just can't decide!
