Oh Oh!!!!! I made the mistake of going to a yard sale today and this is what I will add to my stash. I guess I will have to buy another tub for it. The dark blue is sock yarn and is wool so I can use it for my Ship's Project but the rest of it is just to have. When I started stashing I was saving up for when I retired and couldn't afford yarn any more but I have been retired for 6 years so I have no excuse now. Just an addiction. Is there a yarner's anonymous????

Look what we got each other for our anniversary! We decided we deserved one more "new" car before we were too old to drive. It is a 2007 Red Jewel Chevy Impala. It has wood look paneling on the dash and is beautiful. I got to pick the color and Grady likes the Impala. I will drive it today for the first time. Can't wait!!!!

My hubby and I took a trip to Apple Hill today and had a grand time looking in the shops and buying truly fresh fruit. This picture is one of the shops and the above picture is all the beautiful fruit and veggies we got. The peaches are sooo good right off the trees and the apples are great too. Apple Hill is located just above Placerville , Ca and is just full of orchards and produce shops. Did I mention the Fudge Factory? Love that rocky road.

My cotton bush or whatever you call it has given birth to her first baby. This is the first time I have watched this from seed to cotton. Now I would like to weave it or spin it and make cloth but I sold my spinning wheel. This is soooo cool.
