Bizarre Knitting

For the Cornish Pixies Cabin scavenger game - here is my unusual knitted object.

Golden Eggs are hard to find!!

I have only been able to find one golden egg on Hermione's blog. Lucky Egg #33!!
So far the Cornish Pixies have 45 points.
I've been searching for Lucky Egg #13 for about an hour, but it's proving to be extremely difficult to find. I'm thinking someone has thrown an invisibility cloak over it.

Half-Birthdays deserve celebrations too!!

Oh wait, my half-birthday would have been June 5, not July 5th! Yes, I did pass all of my advanced math, physics & chem courses in college, I swear!! Haha. Oh well, guess I can't use the half-birthday theory to legitimize my latest splurge!
LOOK!!!! This just arrived via owl post yesterday!!



and once you've spoiled yourself with yummy yarn, what would be better than finishing the day with a BBQ & homegrown watermelon!


a skewer of jalapenos (some were quite hot), yummy okra (because i've been picking 2-3 pieces every single day & it's my fav grilled veggie), & a sampling of different veggie "meats" to see which ones grill the best

and finally - the watermelon i've had my eye on for weeks in herbology. it was almost 20 lbs!! (that's 9 kgs)

Summer Game #3

Oh no a boggart is in my cabin!!



Riddikulus!!

Summer Games Week 2 Part 2

Quote from Chamber of Secrets:
When in doubt, go to the library.

Said by Ron Weasley.

Summer Camp Game # 2

In the second volume of the HP books by JK Rowling, The (#1)Chamber of Secrets, we continue to learn the incredible adventures of Hogwarts student (#2) Harry Potter and his friends (#3) Ron Weasley and (#4) Hermione Granger. Belonging to the house of (#5) Gryffindor, they attend Defense Against the (#6) Dark Arts taught by Wizarding celebrity (#7) Gilderoy Lockhart, a none-too-bright fellow who cannot even handle pixies!

In The (#8) Chamber of Secrets, we also meet Dobby a (#9)House Elf for the first time. Determined Dobby seeks to sabotage the return of (#10) Harry Potter to Hogwarts and is pretty persistent but is unsuccessful. After a few weeks at school, the deceased Ravenclaw student who haunts the girls lavatory, also known as (#11) Moaning Myrtle, shows (#12) Harry Potter and (#13) Ron Weasley an old empty diary that dropped through her ghostly form out of thin air!

Many nifty things continue to happen for the next several months… we won’t go into all the juicy details right now… however, the ending is prime reading indeed!! (#14) Harry Potter finally kills Tom Riddle’s (a.k.a #15 Voldemort) sneaky diary (which we now know is a #16 Horcrux) and saves the sister of (#17) Ron Weasley, (#18) Ginny Weasley!!!

Oh! Of course, we must mention that the thickheaded (#19) Gilderoy Lockhart unintentionally erased his own memory, so he won’t be back for book three, The (#20) Prisoner of Azkaban…
