Hello Spring

It has been kind of quiet around here.  I guess we've been in hibernation waiting for the cold weather to move out so that we can enjoy traveling around.  Today we were finally able to take off our jackets and go for a nice walk.  Here's Drew checking out the ducks in the old, abandoned neighborhood that we frequented this past summer.

This 50 degree weather even had us hankering for a milkshake.  Without going to McDonald's, which we have vowed we would not do, the closest we can get is Coolish.  It's like a milkshake in a bag!  Although it tastes really great, we've been discussing the problem with the product name.  If it's just coolish, were they trying to say that it isn't cool enough to be considered cold?  Because it kind of says to me that this product is just okay, but not great.  Only cool-ish. Not sure they thought that one through when they decided to use English...

In other news, I finished my second practice hat, which turned out to be a much greater success than my first attempt.  It is a bit too wide for our heads, but at least it has given me the confidence to begin Drew's hat.  Hopefully this time I can get the sizing right.
