Then...and Now

My ten-year MHC Reunion was this past weekend. We lucked out for a second time with just perfect weather for the laurel parade. It was a beautiful day. The 'virginal' dress (much more trendy now-a-days), the old ladies in their carts waving with all their heart (one from the class of 1933 - WOW), the laurel chain on the shoulders of the fresh faces, the worst rendition of "Bread and Roses", lots of smiles and some tears. Another nice Mount Holyoke tradition.

Look what can happen in ten years! Gosh, I knew nothing. Nothing. At least now I know that I know nothing, or that at least there is so much more to know. I looked like a baby, and now I'm going to have a baby. Thank god it took me 10 years. I can't imagine raising a baby and knowing nothing. I'm a different person.

Next year it's your turn ladies. Go and do it. It really was fun to relive. And if you get knocked up you can borrow my shirt - white maternity is not so easy to come by!

It's Mountain Day

So, this is also my first attempt at writing one of these things. Got inspired after finding out it's Mountain Day at our alma mater. Crazy to think it was OVER 10 years ago that we all experienced our first Mountain Day in the PV. Well, since the theme of this blog is about getting crafty - I too need to get on it and start knitting again. I have a pretty adventurous and totally adorable pattern for a little girl's dress, which will be for my friend's little girl. Her bday is in December and considering my track record with these things (have to learn how to crochet for this pattern and I STILL haven't finished the sweater I started forever ago for the hubby)...well, we'll see. Hopefully, this blog will get me going again. Anyway, really I just wanted to say hi and hope you all are able to get outside and enjoy this beautiful Mountain Day!
