It’s like we never left!!!!! I wish we never had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are back in Colorado! We left Cheyenne and moved to Greeley the first of August. Greeley is about 20 miles east of Loveland and home to the University of Northern Colorado where our daughter works. Since it’s out a bit from the front range,…
Well, we’ll just pretend it’s a new shop!!!! Last weekend I spent a couple of days attending a mini-retreat at The Loopy Ewe, a yarn shop in Fort Collins! The shop’s original owners decided to retire and closed the shop in May but thankfully a new owner (who had been working there part-time) opened the…
Please tell me we’re getting rid of some yarn?!?!?!?!? Now that I’m finished with all my “housekeeping” projects, I’m ready for some new knitting projects. I’m still working on my Santa Fe shawl and a pair of socks that I need to finish quickly (Ed. Note – “Quickly”!!!!!) as they are for someone for Christmas…
Hey, it’s good to be back home again!!! We arrived back in Fort Collins the first of October. Since we consider it home, I’d been waiting until we got back and settled before handling some general fall organizing activities. After spending 6 months “vacationing”, I was actually ready for some of these mundane day-to-day goings…
Can’t quit it, apparently!!!!! After leaving Reed Point, we headed back to Missoula for more visiting with friends and it has become another favorite place to visit. Granite Peak RV Park sits in the valley in Wye, outside of Missoula and we can look at all the mountains surrounding us. They are covered in grassy…
A brown LA haze!!!!! We’ve had a GREAT two weeks in Missoula, Montana – we love this town surrounded by tree covered mountains. Unfortunately, this time around the air was smoky from the fires further west in Idaho and Washington. For a couple hour each afternoon, the wind would blow enough for the blue sky…
I think the editor just may take a nap for this one!!!! I usually write in chronological order but this time decided to group activities instead. So it’s all about the YARN! There are 3, yes THREE, yarn shops within 20 miles. I commented to one of the shop employees that I was surprised there…
We’re off to see the Wizard!!!! After a lovely stop in St. Louis, the hubs and I headed to Manhattan, Kansas where one of our sons and our daughter live. I haven’t seen them since March and the hubs since December, so we are quite excited! I had a little trouble finding an RV park…
So that’s what it’s called!!!!!! So, the last couple of weeks I’ve been “hibernating”. It’s what I call getting through the dreary winter months of January and February. There’s been a lot of gray skies, cold wind and rain. Still, during this, I FINALLY finished my birthday sweater! (Ed. Note – Honestly, I expected June!!!)…
We won’t make this mistake again!!!!! Well, we high-tailed it to Alabama to get warranty work done on our fifth wheel at Dixie RV. We moved in with my parents for the week thinking it would take some time. We got a call the afternoon that we dropped it off saying, “Good news and bad…
