We dodged the bad weather, but got a nail in our tire somewhere in Buttholenowhere, South Dakota...and without a replacement for about 500 miles, we were forced into buying a full set of snow tires. But, oh well, I'm in Michigan now, it can't hurt to have snow tires I guess. We were delayed enough that we had to skip the House on the Rock, though, which was very depressing. Ever since Rocky died, I'd been telling myself "But at least now, you can go to the House on the Rock on the way home!" Nope. Rip off. Grr. But I did get to stop in Chicago and meet Sarah in person (no pictures of that, I'm afraid), and we did go to a sort of neat little museum in Idaho, and a crazy abandoned cement factory in Oregon:


(Tyrannosaurus hands!!)






(Sneak peek of something that will either be awesome or really terrible, I'm not sure yet.)

It's good to be back, though. So crazy to be surrounded by countryside again, and deer and cranes and farms and donuts and cider and goodness! Travis has already secured himself a job at Zingerman's, at least for the holidays. I'll be glad to get our own place and start covering it in wool-dust. Itching for another dog, too. Or several. Sigh. Soon enough, soon enough.
I live just down the road from the House on the Rock! It would have been nice if you could have come by.
ReplyDeleteI totally know exactly where that abandoned cement factory is! Boyfriend and I saw it on the extremely long last day of an epic 'National Park Road Trip' we took last Summer!
ReplyDeleteWe both wanted to stop and look around but I was illin' something fierce so we kept on truckin'. I'm so jealous, it looks SO cool!
Can't wait to see more pictures of your new surroundings...and new knits! :)
Yay, glad to hear you made it without too much annoyance.
ReplyDeleteMmm, love your storm pictures. I totally want to visit House on the Rock. sigh, someday.

ReplyDeletebeautiful pics! No traffic?? that would be wonderful!! Stormy sky photos are beautiful, sounds exciting moving across country!! I'm envious...
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you in real life! (Sorry I didn't comment earlier...I forgot that blogs existed for a while.)
ReplyDeleteI love reading the bit about butthole nowhere. It makes me chuckle every time.
