Where I would Go!

If I could leave tomorrow on a trip, all expenses paid. I would Go to Maine! My home state where I grew up. where most my family still lives. I havent been back since my grandmother died in 2005. I'd love to go to bucksport and see all my friends get a S'mores flurry & walk on the bay. maybe go over to Fort Knox and look around like when we were kids.
I would love to go hiking in Baxter state park, go fishing & camping.

I would go to Bar harbor and walk around on the beach, go to pirates Cove and play mini golf.
and of course eat a nice YUMMMMY LOBSTER!!!

~Also I would love to see Ireland!

Also I started a scarf using three strands of yarn at once. here are a few pics from when I began the project. Finished photos coming as soon as I can get some sun light.

Hope Everyone has A great Weekend! www.jdfootloose.etsy.com
