A Week in the Life, Day Four

[thrihyrne]

Much of today was on the road, and then lounging around at my sister-in-law's grandparents' place. I feel rather out of place a lot of the time, and am quite content to fade to the background with my knitting while everybody fawns over my brother's baby/one year old. I'm just not a baby person. And this should have been 6 pictures, but one didn't upload, and given how much of a pain in the ass photoshop is being, I thought I'd cut my losses and post five pictures today.

A highway stop in NY where you take a covered walkway over the highway to get to the food and restrooms. I'd never been a part of anything quite like this!




Getting close to the border.




Taken while in line at drive-through customs. We got through without any issues, thank goodness.




A view of the back of the house where I'm staying from the outdoor pool. It really is a lovely area.




In the kitchen, just a selection of some of the 12 of us here over the next couple of days. It's mostly my sister-in-law's family, who are quite lovely, just a bit louder than I'm used to.

I expect I'll do a fair amount of writing and knitting over the next couple of days, though perhaps I can get into town and mail a couple of post cards. And to the Canadians on my flist, glad to be up here! :)

It really is! The whole place is absolutely beautiful. It's rained some today, but now is a bit sunny and windy. I enjoyed the overcast part of the day, of course. ;)
