Awe... Rhinebeck Schmineck!

In doing my daily blog reads this morning I read nothing but bragging... I got this at Rhinebeck, I got to meet so-and-so at Rhinebeck.... Rhinebeck this... Rhinebeck that... blah. blah. blah. Oh... and all the talk about the foliage! Like I don't miss New England enough already! Thanks... thanks loads everyone. Very thoughtful of you. Geesh! Okay already! I got it! It was THE place to be this weekend and I was an ocean and a few countries away from it. Yea... well just wait... If the Army Gods that make our assignments are good to us, I'll be at Rhinebeck in 2006 because it'll only be a four-hour drive from our new duty station, Fort Drum, by Watertown NY. So THERE!! Let me add that gives me two... count 'em... two years to have a little BIG Rhinebeck savings account going. Yea... paybacks, Baby!!
I hope you all know I'm kidding. I couldn't wait to start reading this morning knowing that's what everyone would be writing about. You bet your sweet bippy that if plane tickets weren't over $1000 to get to the States I'd have been there with bells on. So I'll have to live through everyone else's journey and dream about 2006. Look on the bright side! There's only 726 days to go!
I finished the dog sweater last night but I forgot the camera this morning when Bailey and I headed out on our walk in the woods. She wore her sweater proudly even though it's a smidge too big. Can't even felt it down because it's superwash. I'll take a picture tomorrow when we're on our little jaunt. Oh well...

That's not a bad idea!!! Where do I get one?! If I put one dollar away each day that'll be enough spending money... maybe....

See you in 2006! What a crackup -- only 726 days! You need to get one of those counters on your sidebar.

I know what you mean about Rhinebeck! Geesh!! But Harlot seemed to have a fantastic time! So we both will have a cuppa and enjoy the virtual version. How's that sound? Can't wait to see Baily modeling her new sweater. I'm sure she felt very special!
