Richmond trip and some knitting

YAY I'm so glad to be back home. While I had a very good time on my Richmond trip thanks to having such great friends in that town, it was a very tiring process.
I arrived right on time for my meeting, and then Thomas and I went to lunch. I got to meet his beautiful dog Solomon!


Solomon was kind enough to show me some of the tricks he can do.
Lay down.

After the long day, I went back to check into my room. The view is so familiar. Weee.


Then Mike & Janine came over, and Janine opened some birthday presents. Mike gave her a Dwight Bobblehead, and I gave her a hairbrush (doesn't sound very exciting but its JUST what she wanted. Luckily I had very good advice) :)

Then Thomas arrived, and the four of us headed to KubaKuba.


I ordered a side order of Tostones, which are fried plantains (kinda like bananas).


I went back for more meetings on Thursday and then finally got home around 6:30.
I did get a little knitting done, since I couldn't get the hotel's wireless internet to connect.
And so, without further ado I present:

My Wollmeise socks!!! How I love thee

Also, we have determined that Kitty very likely has an ear infection. We're taking him to the V-E-T tomorrow. He thanks everyone for their well wishes and he's been pretending to feel better ever since we told him where he was going.

With a Kitty nod he says "Thanks guys! I'll be just fine! See? I feel all better!
(He was looking at me but then the flash went off)

My Solly never misses an opportunity to show off how smart he is in front of pretty ladies (and treats).

I really enjoy meeting Mike and Janine (gosh I hope I spelled that right). They were very entertaining with their schitzo all over the place conversations snippets.

THOSE sockies are soooo very pretty and wonderfully soft.

Thanks for the visit. So very nice to have met you AGAIN.

I'm absolutely positive that Sue also forgot to mention how handsome Solomon is.

You're so very correct, Sue.
