I missed a week....The past three weeks I have been dealing with some medical issues...I have had two minor surgeries..and have been in a haze of pain and sleep...so not much has gotten done...but I am now 3 days pain free...although I tire very easily..and get a little achey if I do too much....but I'm heading out tomorrow to visit Mom for a few weeks....but GAH! what projects do I pack?
I did finish something for a swap, which I will share next week.....I worked on a pair of Vanilla Latte socks off and on...and the big Sooper Secret project...but that is about it....

Badlands, South Dakota
The Badlands were AMAZING! Like you were on another planet! This is one of the stops we made last summer. We actually went there two days in a row, it is so large, and we still didn't see everything...but it's one of the coolest places I have ever been!
This was our first stop, you see Christian walking out to the end. We were pretty high up.
At our second stop, you were able to climb down among the deposits, and so Christian did..and got stuck. He couldn't figure out how to get back up.
He finally found a way back up, but was tired.....it was very hot there....
We drove toward the end of the Badlands, because I wanted to see if the bison were around. We didn't see them on the first day, but we did see mountain goats...
The next day, we went back and we saw some bison
They didn't come too close to the road, but it was cool to see them!
Here are some random shots..
It's one of the coolest places I have ever been....I'm a big fan of science fiction movies, and I could so see this as a set of another planet.

Crapitty crap!

Score!
Being stuck home this week, I've watched a lot of the World Cup....watching yesterday's game of Croatia and Cameroon, I was rooting for Croatia...and I know many people will talk about the fact that the Cameroon player got a red card and gave Croatia an advantage...but they still played hard and they won!
I went to Croatia in December of 1986 and stayed until March of 1987. We had hosted an exchange student the previous school year and I put off college and went to visit her family. It was a fantastic experience!
At the time, Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia, they were about 5 years away from the civil war that tore the country apart. It was no surprise when it happened....there was a lot of ethnic talk when I was there....
Vladimira's family was Communist, and I had to register with the local police department. But the country itself was Socialist and they got very upset if you said they were a Communist country.
Since I was there in the middle of winter, we didn't travel too much....We did go up into the mountains to a restaurant. I remember it was very cool...they had these HUGE wine casks that they had turned into rooms that you could rent.
Vladimira was in school, and I went to the University in Zagreb with her a few times.
I don't have too many pictures, but here is a blurry one of the two of us...we are at the cafe-bar that we frequented...
Look at the 80's perm on me! And the big frame glasses! Woo-hoo! I still have that scarf, I bought it at an open air market in the middle of Zagreb with a headband....so it's also Throw-back Thursday!

Yarn Along
Wow haven't done one is awhile....
I am working on my Vanilla Latte Socks in Knit-One, Crochet Two Ty-Dy...I LOVE this yarn! It is soft, and squooshy! These socks are going to be awesome-sauce!
I love the colors....just in love with these...and I think it's bringing back my sock knitting obsession!
The other thing I've been working on is a secret....
Reading..I've done a fair bit while being home recuperating...I finished Red Sea, Island of Lost Girls, and Bossypants...I am now reading From Notting Hill with Love..Actually...a definite "summer" read.
See what others are doing...
Yarn Along and Tami's Amis

Gloves of Win
I love these gloves and have now made them twice, both times for swaps...I need to make myself a pair....I don't think the pattern is available any longer, but luckily, I had printed it out...
The yarn is Mad Color Verity in Tempest...I also love the color...and Verity is my go to superwash yarn.
Not much else going on...one more week of school....then cleaning the house and knitting, before I leave to visit the Moms...just booked my flight....the Hubs is staying home....but he now has a passport, so yeah! Trip to Canada later this summer!....
Joining in with Fiber Arts Friday, the others don't seem to have their links up yet...
