I have finished the Nisseet mittens, though I still need to weave in all the ends. Warda has been finished for some time, but I'm finally blocking it so I can give it to a dear friend of mine. I started a second one, and hope to have it finished by this weekend. Other than that, I haven't made any progress on anything else.

I was able to go to Walla Walla with Rich for a work conference, and was able to go on a few winery tours. This photo was taken at one of those wineries, on a gorgeous wooden slab table. It was good to have a small break from our troubles, and that was lovely. Things are ramping up here, and we are still praying for a good outcome. If you could, pray especially tomorrow and around 1:30 pm on June 5.

Another fun break I had was to go to the movies in the actual theater. I've gone to the movies more this year than I have in the previous five years. I've seen The Sheep Detectives twice in the theaters now. First, for Nejat's birthday, and again with a friend from my sit and stitch group. As we suspected, it was far better than the book. I know there is at least one sequel to the book, but with the ways they changed the story for the movie, I don't think they could do a sequel that even really has anything to do with it, but perhaps that is better. If you get a chance to watch it, it is fun. The knits in it are lovely, and it's just a silly, fun movie.

We've had a lot of sleepless nights. However, that means I got to read more in Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge than I have been. I also finished Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station, Irish Recipe for Murder, and Murder Most Irish
