Road Warrior!!!! After a quick but fun visit with my family, I drove back to Little Rock, spent the night and got up to drive nine and half hours to Junction City, Kansas. For a drive that long, I decided I needed a little treat so I checked for some yarn shops along the way…

April 2019 – Memory Lane, Montevallo, Alabama
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!!! When we left St. Louis, the hubs and I went our separate ways for a week. He went on to Junction City, Kansas to see our middle son, Josh and girlfriend, Taylor. I went to Little Rock and then on to Helena (Birmingham) Alabama to visit my parents, brother,…
April 3, 2019 – Show and Tell
It is a normal scarf!!! I realized that I haven’t shown or talked about any of my knitting for a while, so I thought I’d do a little show and tell. I believe the last item shown was the LONG scarf for the hubs. {ED. NOTE – It fits perfectly – maybe it looks long…
March 27, 2019 – Knitorious and Pint Size Bakery
It’s glorious!!! Today I set out to find a yarn shop in the Lindenwood neighborhood, Knitorious. It is located on the corner of Watson Road and Bradley Avenue. As I walked down the sidewalk to go in the front door, I noticed little banner flags that had been knitted or crocheted hanging on the…
March 21, 2019 – A Tale of Dragons and Eagles, St. Peters, Missouri (St. Louis)
Winter is Coming!!!! “I saw a dragon,” the hubs whispered as he came back into the trailer. As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the park that we are staying at is very nice. But this was a whole different level!! “What?” I said, not quite sure I heard or understood him correctly. He…
March 23, 2019 – St. Louis Zoo and Anheuser-Busch Brewery
I saw 15 clowns get out of a Mini Cooper once, so, ya’ never know!!! Since it is a Saturday and John doesn’t have to work, we headed to the St. Louis Zoo. (Yes, another zoo😊)! Many of the attractions in St. Louis are free but they do charge to park. However, $15 to park…
March 20, 2019 – Weaving Department at the Myers House, Florissant, Missouri (St. Louis)
It’s like painting but with fabric!!! I have a great friend, Lisa, who lived in Wentzville, Missouri who I am so lucky to visit with over the two weeks that we are in St. Louis! Her home is just about 20 minutes away from our park. She used to be one of our small group…
March 16, 2019 – Leaving Virginia
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future!!! Today we’re leaving Virginia. So far, I’ve been excited about heading some place new but not as much today. My favorite part of Virginia? These two!! This makes me a little sad about moving along. But that’s what we wish for our kids, right? That they…
March 15, 2019 – Yarn Matters, Williamsburg, Virginia
Yarn Matters! My accommodating and very sweet son, JC, drove me to visit two yarns shops in Williamsburg today! It was only about a 30 minutes drive but the traffic makes it feel longer – there is a LOT of traffic here. First we stopped at Yarn Matters. This shop has been open since 2016…
March 8, 2019 – Delmarva Wool and Fiber Expo, Ocean City, MD
No, the ships don’t go through the tunnel!!!! Today I drove from Hampton, VA down across the CBBT (yes, that 17 mile long bridge and tunnel!) up through the Eastern Shore of VA into Maryland. I met Karen, my oldest friend (who I’ve known the longest – since elementary school)!! She is always willing to…
