More Ashland

Katie took me on a tour today of the places that she works. She works at 2 different Boy's & Girl's Club, one in the town of Phoenix & the other in the town of Talent. She really enjoys that staff & the kids that she works with (none of which are pictured below because it was Saturday and the clubs were closed). Just get her started telling stories about her co workers & kids & she could go on for hours


She also demonstrated for me what she does at work all day. Such a hard worker my girl is!

After shopping at Target with Jenny & Stephanie it was dinner time at Louie's (local burger emporium, I had a salad since my internals aren't so fond of beef anymore) with Alisha & Samantha. Alisha is an old buddy from the dorm last year. Samantha is a new buddy (and Prius owner, what a smart girl) from the B & G Club. Then it was over to the Angus Bowman Theater to watch "The Diary of Anne Frank". Last night the stage was almost bare, tonight is was the interior of a multi-story building. What they can do between plays is amazing. It was an excellent production. Very moving. The acting superb. And even though you know what is coming, in the end their was not a dry eye in the house. It has been a weekend of winning theater. Back to the hotel to hang out, the girls posed for me after poor Alisha regained control. It seems sweet little Alisha has a small condition. She snorts when she laughs. Which is hysterical. Unfortunately for her when she snorts, we all laughed harder, causing her to snort more, us to laugh more, a vicious cycle.

And now for Katie's knitting progress. Isn't she doing great! She learned to unknit today, a most useful skill. She is a very even knitter and a bit tight, and her work looks great. She even counts every row, Marilyn. Hopefully she will knit every day this week & be ready to learn purling when she visits Tacoma (gotta go see Tracy in Ain't Misbehaving, and if that means visiting wee Derek, so be it). She is not a big fan of the garter stitch and is looking forward to being a stockinette girl. keep on knittin' Kate!
