Son's Visit Home


DS was here for 2 weeks on leave and was able to bring his girlfriend along. We had a good time introducing her to some of the sights around Ohio. This picture was taken outside Sol's Exchange in Berlin, Oh. She was excited to see scenes of the Amish community there and to learn that they were of German descent.

She got her hands into making her first jack-o-lantern. I guess they don't do Halloween like we do here in the states. They even dressed for the occasion in traditional Moroccan dress that they brought from her parents.

. Also, we celebrated my youngest granddaughter's 1st birthday. The little princess got her first tricycle, but brother wants it, too. These are the 2 little ones I watch every week so DD can work.
In knitting news, I finished my Morpork Pie shawl and blocked it out. It's 72 inches across and feels nice and warm. Thanks to MMario for such a great pattern.
