Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

We are recording on Monday, April 19th, 2021.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Charlene.

And I'm trying not to be overly anxious because I leave tomorrow for 10 days, which is the longest I've ever been away from the bigger part of my family.

I'm off to Spokane for the birth of my grandson.

So I'm very excited.

There's a lot of knitting planning happening around here.

There's a lot of knitting in the suitcase here. There's a lot of knitting in the

suitcase just in case, you know, I finish, like I think I'm going to finish anything when I'm

taking care of my two-year-old granddaughter, but you know, you can't leave home for that period of time

without it. And you're only going to be with her by yourself for maybe 48 hours, maybe a little longer? Maybe even at the

outside 48 hours, but I do plan to entertain her while Alex is recovering from her C-section.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. So it'll be fantastic. And I'm, I'm convinced that the days will fly by for you.

I hope so. I think they will. And I am excited about it too. It's just, it's a long time to be away

from home. It is. It is. So what are you wearing? I have been wearing my love note sweater,

or I should say I did wear it to work last week.

And the reason I mention it is because I pulled this one out.

I had, it had been put away for all of the winter, really, because it's kind of a warmer weather

sweater.

And even though it wasn't a super warm day,

once I saw it, I had to wear it.
