There are moments in your life that you remember with a knowing smile. There are memories that you cling to like a warm blanket, holding them to your heart when you need them. And then there are memories that you want to wrap up in a box with a bright, sparkly ribbon, knowing that every time you open it, there will be laughter and fireworks and giggles and love. This weekend was the brightest, shiniest box of those memories.
This past Thursday, seven people (only one of whom I'd met) came to visit our home, and today they all left with a piece of my heart. From the first moment, anyone witnessing our knitting on the porch, sitting in a restaurant, or piling into the-most-user-unfriendly-minivan-ever would certainly look on with envy. Here are the bookend pictures of our weekend...and yes, every moment was as wonderful as it appears...
Early morning, Rhinebeck Day 1...we were so excited and naive...
End of Day 2, with our goodies.
Just to make Joe feel better, here's what I brought home...
And this is what was given to me. Yes, GIVEN. My friends rock.
Of course, the only fee to staying in the Weismann home is a tacky magnet or two. My friends did not disappoint...
The photos from the weekend are here.

Okay...you made me all misty-eyed with that first paragraph. I have no words, other than to say it was very.

I went and looked at all of the pictures and looked like a good time was had by all. Your porch does look sad without anyone knitting on it. Someday, I would like to come and see your porch and sit and knit with you. Sounds a bit presumptuous of me, doesn't it.
thanks for sharing all those fab photos... it was *almost* as good as being there!
Nothing quite like a knitting weekend is there? Thank you for the awesome photos!
Your haul looks great! And your photos are great too, such a nice view of the day.
Heee! It was so much fun. I've already started the clock for next year.
*tick,tock*
