Soo I am in New York this week (near Buffalo) visiting my grandparents, who are there for the summer. It’s partially a visit and partially a mission to help my grandparents go through the stuff in their closes/attic so the house can be sold at some point. I haven’t been doing a whole lot of knitting, but I have been doing some hiking.
On the drive up, we stopped at an overlook in Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna river. There was some very soft mud/quicksand:
Earlier today (having arrived in New York on Monday), we went on a hike here:
There was hiking:
And a “waterfall”:
There hasn’t been a tremendous amount of rain lately. (And that’s my younger brother, btw.)
I’ll have to snap some pictures when we go into Newfane (the town we’re in). It’s super cute and tiny and all slice-of-Americana. I love it.
One final note: I’m going to continue to call it the Ravelympics. The USOC should see someone about that stick they’ve got up their ass.
Stitch, Brinn, Stitch!

Upstate NY is pretty, and so green! We drove once from Albany to Buffalo, I was surprised at all the open space.

I think it’s grand that you’re helping your grandparents go through their crap now because, let me tell you from experience, trying to do it after they’re gone is worse. You’re on an emotional roller coaster ride from hell and then you have to go through all their years of crap on top of it? Seriously?
I’ve been packing and purging around here like mad because we’re moving…and I *have* to go through all my grandparents stuff before we leave (I’m not hauling it all to California only to sort it and throw it out there). Unfortunately, I’m the only one to do it.
