I had a great week of vacation. I was so busy lazing about that I didn't find time to blog.
I'm still deciding whether to cram into one long post, or spread it out since I don't have much content on the horizon now that I'm back at work.
Let's see what happens... (added later: one topic it is, I need to get some work done!)
After our lovely time at the cottage we headed back to Toronto to attend the 2nd Annual Blue Jay's Stitch'n'Pitch. I'm no fan of baseball, but it's still fun to drink overpriced Bud and sit amongst my people watching overpaid men play with bats and balls (both their own, and the equipment of the game). I brought the whole family and even did some knitting, starting a new generic sock, just 'cause.
Some clever person knit the Mascot his own hat and my guys had a good time watching the action. The Jays managed to win in the bottom of the 9th inning making the whole thing quite exciting. Emma had a blast and was quite the Ham.
She managed to get in almost every picture; even sneaking in while I tried to take one of Emily behind me.
Global news was there and the kids and I were even on the 11 o'clock news. Can't find the streamed video though.
Thanks to the Toronto organizers for pegging me as a knitting celebrity and giving me a couple of tickets. It totally stroked my vanity and we had a great time.
Oooo...a real live knitting celebrity? How fun!
It looks like your daughter had a blast, but I don't see any knitting in her hands!

I saw you on the news! And recognized you from your photos from the blog. Hubby was impressed.

Sounds like fun! We have a minor league baseball team but no organized Stitch 'n' Pitch as far as I can tell.

How did that work?
P.S. I knew you before you were a celebrity.
