Ok, that’s not entirely true… it’s only been 8 days, but it feels like longer.. and I owe some BIG posts…
I attempted several times to post my July 4th Pikes Peak post, and failed… my in-laws are on a dish network at home and I dont’ know if it was their speed or the weather or what but I could just never get it posted… I will attempt to get that done in the next few days, but will probably NOT as I am so overwhelmed right now with our move… and Chewy… and just life… I am so sorry Firefly for failing in my end of the bargain for Pikes Peak.. I WILL get it posted soon, I promise!
I have a number of photos to share.. quickly and then I have to get… thank goodness for free wifi at Brueggers!
I have news on Chewy to share… her cancer is a malignant form that is highly invasive and metastatic (meaning, fast growing, and will spread easily)… we have probably up to 6 months left with our dear girl… so we are taking the extra time each day to tell her how much we love her and just enjoy her… we told the children, and they took it rather hard… which doesn’t surprise me given how much they love her… we made a stepping stone with her pawprint on it for our new yard, and will do the same with our other pets as a way to honor their lives and our memories of the fun we’ve had with them.
Suzanne, one of Chewy’s original owners, took some time to take a nice nap with Chewy…
I took the time to relax a bit at my in-laws and knit… I got a number of things completed, including the following…
A fun fur hat (for fun) for my Father-in-law
A cupcake dishcloth for a friend
A shower scrubby for my Mother-in-law
A house warming present for my sis-in-law
And I received my Tea Swap package from Mia, here’s a quick pic…
I also received my Hogwarts Sock Kit swap package from Helena, and I love it, but forgot somehow to take a photo, so I”ll put that in here sometime soon!
I took an afternoon for myself and went to a few LYS in the Rochester area, including The Yarne Shope and Knit n Purl (which wasn’t open but I oggled the store from it’s glass windows… I’ll definitely be going back there!)
I have their info/links etc and will update Anne’s LYS blog as soon as I can…
We met up with friends and their Quad’s for a day of fun at the playground and a yummy Pontillo’s pizza and wings lunch.. YUM!
We had a ton of fun with our cousins for the fourth of July at my in-laws home… sparklers, fireworks, etc… it was great!
We celebrated one cousin’s birthday with a yummy cake and tons of fun at my Sis-in-law’s new house…
Happy birthday Suzanne!
I did get in a good amount of running as well,… John and I ran in the Sodus Point Lighthouse 5k race on the fourth and I placed first in my age group with a time of 22:16. Not my fastest by far, but still a good race… We enjoyed ourselves and our prizes.. 
When I get more time I’ll update this post with links etc… I just have to get moving. 
(pun intended)…
