I am off today to another yarn festival. This is the Wine and Wool festival in Jackson Mich. After that we will be off on a two week excursion through the northern parts of the mid west and the west as Jan heads out for two weeks of audits and I get to tag along. We are going to stop along the way and see some high school friends of mine in Montana and one of my cousins I haven't seen in something like 40 years.

Time seems to fly by in a hurry. I have noted that the older I get the faster time seems to move. Trying to explain how far in the future something is to Miss Mim seems to be impossible. She has no reference point. While I on the other have too many reference points.



So enough seriousness! A little chocolate goes a long way!




And a Giant Slide!

I haven't posted in a while

I haven't posted. I really don't have anything to say. I am still looking for a job. I know that teachers are being laid off. I also know that at my age, with my educational level and years of experience, my job prospects are not great. I keep trying though. I have applied for lots and lots of jobs. I have not had one call for an interview. I am running out of ideas. My yarn business is growing, but not enough to pay the bills when my unemployment runs out.

A third of July

I can not believe it is July already. Time seems to be flying by. This year it is going to be a very quiet 4th. Just Hubby and me. We plan to have a relaxing day, kick back and grill out some brats. No running anywhere. We will watch fireworks from our own yard or on T.V. We have talked about going to our local parade ( we have a Norman Rockwell type parade) here in town. But that means we would have to get up in time. I think step off is about 10:00. I don't see that happening.

Sleeping in is such a luxury....

So, Enjoy your Independence Day however you choose to celebrate. We have lots to be thankful for, even if it doesn't seem like it all the time.
