going away party with the knitter's

Deb had a potluck get together at her place for a few of us that are leaving Cuenca. Meta moved to the coast, and Karen and I are moving back to the States. It was a knitters and friends of knitters gathering, and it was fun to meet  few new people and get to say goodbye to friends.

Our whole neighborhood was without power for a few hours last night; good thing I found a bag full of tea lights or it would have been pretty dark with my flashlight running low on battery.

If I have my window open, there's a good chance Dax is laying out on the ledge.

i swear i didn't forget

Yet again, it's been a long while since I've updated. To be fair, I haven't had a camera at all in a few months, as my iPod was stolen, but I have another camera and plan to take as many photos of Cuenca as I can in the next month because.... I'm moving! Yep, I've been here nearly three years, and I think it's time to go somewhere new. I'm heading to Asheville, North Carolina, where my dad, step-mom, and youngest brother live. My sister, bro-in-law, and niece (who just turned one!) live not too far from there, so I'll be able to see them often; my best friend Val and her family are moving to Augusta, GA soon, so they won't be very far away, either; my brother and his girlfriend live in Savannah, which is visit-able; and my boyfriend lives a few hours from there in Lexington, KY - so basically Asheville is the perfect home base! I'm really excited to move on from here, though I will miss it and the people I've gotten to know and be friends with.

Anyway, here's a few shots I've taken lately, hoping to get in many more soon.
