News from the heartland

I was wandering about the "net" tonight and realized that I haven't posted anything for quite a while. Much has happened since March. Most recently I went to Estes Park,CO with my friend JoAnne. We were joining friends for our third entry in the Estes Park Wool Market Sheep to Shawl. We found out that we could fit a Baby Wolf loom in the back seat of a Honda Accord. Who knew?! Along with 2 spinning wheels, a drum carder, two computers and a little bit of clothing, we were pretty full, but still had room for several pounds of fleece on the way home.

Speaking of home...once we reached Denver we weren't sure if we were going to get back home! As it turns out both of our houses were fine, but the shop where I share space got flooded. We took on about a foot of water so we really didn't lose too much. Of course, we are now some of the displaced but all in all pretty fortunate. JoAnne's husband Jim doesn't think we should be allowed to leave the state together anymore.

Will post some pictures and more ramblings later (who knows, maybe even this summer).
