Completely unexpected!!

Unexpected, totally welcome, and a pleasant surprise. I logged into my account for VCU to see if the federal loan had been awarded, and it had. Along with a scholarship from the School of the Arts! It isn't a lot, but hey! Every little bit helps, especially when I had no idea anything like was coming. It was like finding $20 in my coat pocket (only way better)! I am so honored and even taken aback (in a good way) that I was given a scholarship, as a transfer student who already has a degree!

We headed up to Seneca Lake this past weekend for the Glenora Jazz Festival (Spyro Gyro was playing), and it was fun. Dave managed to injure himself and is still on crutches, but he sees a specialist for his ankle tomorrow. Wine is tasty and we also brought home some scary looking BBQ sauce entitled "Colon Cleaner". No, I will not be using it, that's aaaaaalll David.

I actually don't have any knitting to show off this post and I feel so.....unaccomplished. Which is silly, since I did finish my Catkin shawl(and did all the laundry, took out all the trash, worked out)! Today actually: the knitting was done on Friday, I blocked it yesterday, and sewed the buttons on today. Hopefully I will get pictures tomorrow (if Dave can manage to take pictures and keep his balance on crutches at the same time). Working some more this week on stash-busting partially used skeins, before commencing on a Mystery Knit-Along on August 1.

And now, for inspiration: Diana Damrau, who is an AMAZING soprano. If could sound like her -or just sing with her one day-, that would be a dream come true.
