I was able to attend the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby again this year. Wow, it was a lot bigger than I remember two years ago. I forgot to send off my class registration so I didn’t take any classes this year, but I did still have to be there on Friday since [...]

After fortifying ourselves with a hearty breakfast, the gals and I headed down to the Third Place Books Commons for a little quality time with our spinning wheels.

I had planned on starting the tour with a new project, what is it they say about plans . . . anyway, I ended up finishing [...]

. . . with 200% more cats.

Yes, I’m officially on my way to becoming a Crazy Cat Lady.

Last autumn, the mother started hanging around with one of her kittens, we called them Smokey and Bandit, and because I am such a sucker we stared feeding them. Smokey warmed up to us, [...]

We knew Wednesday was going to start early so we ordered breakfast the night before to be delivered to the room . . . I highly recommend this.

We headed out to catch the 8am ferry. We asked the doorman to hail us a cab, but instead he asked had the hotel town car [...]

Most of Tuesday was spent in Chinatown. The forecast was overcast in the morning and rain showers in the afternoon. Armed with umbrellas we saw the sights, we shopped, we ate, we shopped some more. It ended up raining some in the morning, but never enough to actually use the umbrellas, then the afternoon [...]

Yesterday we rented this cute little car

There won’t be sandy beaches or cabana boys, but there will be fruity drinks. I’m heading to San Francisco tomorrow morning, for five days. One of my dear friends used to live in SF so I am dragging her along to be my tour guide. We are abandoning husbands and children for five days of [...]

Dad came home from the hospital February 24th, after deciding not to pursue further medical treatment. He was offered dialysis, he declined since the chances of it actually helping were slim to none as he was facing both heart and renal failure. Dad had been in the hospital three times with stays in a rehab [...]
