Excellence

The gold embossed letters spoke to my needless worrying over the last month. I have passed my Minnesota State licensure tests with more than flying colors. On the test where I spent too much time writing the first essay and then had to scramble through the rest, I received a special commendation for scoring in the top 15% of people who have taken that test in the previous years. An "E" for excellence will appear alongside my score - showing the world what a big brain I have!! (or at least my great capacity to BS with the best of them!!) :)

Isla Mujeres

Island in the Carribean - what more do you need to know other than when is the next flight? Our friends own Sea Cliff, a great vacation rental property you must check out if you want a quiet Carribean vacation!!

In case you need more details, I'll share a couple 1000 words with you here:

Sunrise

Sunset - the view from our romantic restaurant table

The family - overlooking Garrafon Park

Road Scarf

This is a fun knitted scarf pattern! Be sure to note the "Note" that you need to knit the first and last 4 stitches of each row to make the garter stitch edge. That was added after I printed my pattern - thankfully I had noticed it in the picture.

Road Scarf Story

Here is my road scarf so far - I was knitting it on the "road" to Isla Mujeres.

I am using Princess by Classic Elite Yarns in Ladylike Leaf. (40% merino, 28% viscose, 10 % cashmere, 15 % nylon, 7 % angora. I would not recommend using Wool-Ease - it's not nearly soft enough for my neck!)
