I had no plans, and stayed in most of the dayt.

It even snowed, and was wet, so there didn’t seem to be any good picture opportunities outside.

My only outing was at night.

I went to the “knitters on their knees” meeting, and it turned out to be great, because I was able to help a couple of beginners with their crochet.

I also decided to take the camera along, and take some pics.

It was hard to do photos, incognito, because there were so few of us.

Here’s what I got…

A nice helpful moment…

a beautiful work of art with double pointed  knitting needles.  Novices need not apply!

Ms. June, who reminds me of my grandma…and makes baby blankets for all sorts of people!

and the other crochet buddies!

If you knit or crochet, and you’d like to use your craft for helping others, drop me a note and I’ll let you know how you can help!

And I’d love to teach you if you don’t know how!

The boys had no school, we got to wake up late, my parents arrived around 10:30am.

We helped at the food pantry for an hour, and then my parents took the kids for an outing, and Fabio and I headed into the city.

The original plan was to go to the art museum.  But with a late start, traffic and a beautiful day, we decided to walk around instead of look at paintings.

It was soooooo worth it from a picture taking perspective.

I’d forgotten how fun it is to be in the city, because you get all these impromptu people moments that you just don’t run into, when you’re in the country.

With that said, I had never walked along the Schuylkill, and had not got a close look at Boathouse row, except flying by in the car.  Today, I got to see it from many views.

My favorite, and the picture winner for today was this one…

From here, I’ll just let you enjoy the pictures… Feel free to ask me questions.

What would your favorite picture be in this bunch?

Can’t wait to go back and enjoy time with my sweetheart there again!

Last weekend we were in Fairfax. While we were visiting Fab, Sr., we also got a chance to see some dear old friends. Ginger and Spinner lived with me in California, while I served with Steve Hughes and Yosemite Christian Ministries. As a matter of fact, they were a welcome respite to the loneliness I was suffering while living by myself in a double-wide trailer.
Anyway, I hadn’t seen G & S in over 10 years, and so we took a little longer drive on Sunday Morning, to meet them at their church.
While there, and sitting in the very last row, I sketched a few people in front of me.
Apparently, the couple sitting next to me took an interest, because after the service, the woman tried to invite us out for lunch and talked of my beautiful artwork. We turned her down, as we were going out with my friends, instead.
Here’s the drawing that commanded an invitation to lunch…

Now I just need someone willing to pay for these, and I’ll be in business!!
