Hello everyone, happy Sunday. I'm writing now because I haven't in so long, but nothing very exciting has happened around here lately. I'm still enjoying my new eyewear very much. Our weather has been very mild, but I'm tired of the rain anyways. We're afraid though that it's going to open up and wail on us right around the time we're trying to leave, since it's been so nice so far.

The picture above is of a cool fungus that Spencer found. It's called and Orange Peel fungus, for obvious reasons. This one is growing where someone was cutting logs, so that's what's up with the wood chips on the ground...

We've had a couple of social events lately. We went to dinner and a movie the other night, and the movie was the Wizard of Oz. I hadn't seen that since I was a kid, and it's lots better when you're an adult. First of all, it's not actually 4 hours long like I thought it was back then. Second, there are a fair number of funny jokes and things in it that weren't there before. And third, there were a few parts that scared me when I was a kid. I don't really suggest that kids watch it, actually, from my experience. I guess the interesting thing is that you'd think the story would appeal to kids, but most of us there discussed how we were traumatized in one way or another by having seen it when we were little. From my kid perspective, it seemed way more just messed up than an interesting story.

We went to a Christmas party last night too, but neither of us were really into it. It was a big party, and we got there late, so many people were pretty drunk already. There were also a lot of people there that I had never seen before, which was a surprise, and there weren't many people there who I was actually interested in talking to. I didn't stay long. Regardless, Max Power was very excited to see me when I got home!

I've been doing lots of knitting lately, which has been really fun. I joined an online knitting community too, which is great. I can post pictures and information about my projects for other people to see, I have "friends" there, whose projects I can look at, and I can get patterns and information there for free, which is pretty awesome too. So I'm enjoying that as well.

Anyhow, that's about what's been going on with me. I hope you all are well, and I'll talk to you later!
