Gazebo!
We put up a gazebo in our backyard last weekend (between the trip to the ER and the VERY entertaining drugs...) It's lovely - and I'm sure we'll be spending a great deal of time in it this summer! It's actually a rather rectangular object, and gazebo seems too round a word for it.
It's really sad when I began describing my ER trip to my knitting group last night as a 'date' - it's the first time the hub and I have been out without the kids in months! After I got my scrip for the drugs we made an evening out of it by stopping for Chinese take-out and enjoying a quiet dinner at home before picking up the kids from friend's houses. Considering the trip will cost us roughly what a weekend in the Pocono's would charge, we should have enjoyed it!
I wonder if there will soon be a hotwire or orbitz for hospitals? You break your leg, but before going to the ER you check online for the lowest rates on a 3-start hospital near you? Who says there are no investment opportunities in this economy!?
Today I had a mystery shop at Target, so I used my MS $$ to purchase some lovely strings of outdoor lights for the interior of aforementioned gazebo. It will be a fairy garden. It even has mosquito netting!
Next week I'm ending my Beginning Knitting Class with a little at home party - in the gazebo - woohoo!
Since no one commented on this, I thought I'd post it again: Here's a look at a plaid shawl/stole I'm working up. It looks hard, but it's a REALLY easy colorwork pattern. I call it a slip stitch plaid - I haven't seen it elsewhere, but I have by no means read all the knitting colorwork technique tomes out there! It's what I used last year in my top for Magknits, and it's a fun way to use up stray strands of cool yarn!

Hey Annie,
We are trying to find the company that mystery shops target so we can do it oout here in SC. Could you tell me who it is?
