Walnut Creek

Bonana St Books, Out of Business. Walnut Creek officially has no more independent bookstores, to my knowledge.

Other, more random Walnut Creek pictures,

driving up Main St crossing Ygnacio.

The Motor Lodge has been there forever but there used to be little restaurants across the street where the multi story office buildings are now.  Farther up Main by California St

Recognize the French Restaurant? Le Virage, home of countless anniversaries, prom dates and celebrations.

Random vehicle I couldn't resist taking a picture of on.....Broadway, maybe? As if it matters.

TV News: (What? I couldn't stay mad at TV for long.) Bones has moved to Monday at 8pm followed by House which is a much better time slot for me, so expect it to change.

I tried to watch Cranford last night but found it a little slow going (I'm still slogging through Queen Isabella, thankyouverymuch) and there's some glitch in the show.  A man's voice appears to be narrating the story in an undertone. It's maddening because you can't quite hear him distinctly.

This is what I'm currently knitting. It's the Lacy Prairie Shawl from Folk Shawls turned into a stole. Hopefully to be finished by Mother's Day.

This is what I'm knitting in my head. The skein from La's surprise package.  100 % silk and 1000 yards (or meters or whatever, I think) and wouldn't it be cute as the Bridesmaid Wrap from Suss Cousins Wedding Knits?

Sad news last Saturday. My brother & sil's beloved cat, Charity passed away.  She'd been rescued by them a few years back, abandoned at a ski resort and just a big sweetie. This was only two months after they lost their kitty cat of 16 years.
