My Birkie Boy has a birthday today…Happy Birthday!! He is at Birkie Weekend but I am not. I stayed home with our nearly 15 year old lab, Molly. She just couldn’t make it this year so neither could I. But the good news is that I did not miss John crossing the finish line (for the first time in three years)! They had a live feed of the finish and you could also track your skier, so I knew exactly when he was heading down main street — he can be seen at 3:59, as shown in this picture. Yay!! It is nice that you can replay!!
My knitting is still in a slump. The Dale is on a time out and the Window to my Soul is deadly boring. B O R I N G … cannot knit a single row without going into comatose state…
I will be able to stop by the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild Tea today for the first time in years — it is always on the Sunday of Birkie weekend so I don’t get to attend very often.
Work on the Dale! It’s so beautiful. And inspiring!

Wow, is there an American Birkebeiner? I had no idea.
In Norway there are three different Birkebeiners, one is a ski race and two are bike races, in honour of the rescue of future king Haakon Haakonsson in 1206.
