93. Go to a yarn show



This was my first ever show - the first of many I really, really hope!!
For much, much more detail of the yarns I bought, see here!

82. Go on a road trip


Me, Alana and techquilter, and her latest Wee One went on a road trip to TO for the infamous Knitter's Frolic.

I often find myself going on long drives with my SO and the pup, but don't think of them as Road Trips. In my mind (and I'm not a native North American speaker, so excuse me if I have this wrong), a Road Trip is
a Long Drive,
taken with friends,
to some destination,
but the adventure is in the journey itself.

Not that the final destination wasn't just the greatest thing EVER, but the journey there would have been fun enough on its own. The atmosphere in the car was kind of like Christmas Eve - the anticipation! the excitement! the giddiness! And just to hang out with good friends is a super novelty for me.

Oh, to be that carefree and light, with nothing weighing down on my shoulders.
Truly a wonderful journey...

86. Watch a play at a theatre (!)



This was part of the best weekend - EVER!!!
I met the MIL and cousin-in-law in TO to see the musical Mamma Mia.
It was a Saturday matinee, so there was a LOT of kids, which was very strange for me. Especially given the storyline of the show - mother slept with many men, so didn't know who got her preggers, so said child invites men to her wedding to figure out who is her father. Anyways.....
It was no West End (London) quality musical, but it was lots of fun and one element of a FANTASTIC weekend, which included a yarn show and the openning of the cottage.
