Hopefully I will it' s not expensive 4.75 for parkingand I saw something about the seminars are free , don't quote me, Hoping Kim Ogle will be there . Mary picked up a spindle and some roving the last time we were at Susan's fiber, and I am hoping to get another spindle there . Kim 's brother makes some beautiful ones . Well thats all for now

March came in like a Lion

Well here it is the ides of march it's been windy out and there is a promise of rain and snow mixed together. We had a little problem with G-Ma about 2 weeks ago, she woke up in her room at the nursing home and threaten to kill her roomate. Some new medication and taking care of a severe UTI cleared things up. She is again her happy self.
Other news Mary didn't make it to the solo ensemble contest due to bad weather , we had a blizzard that weekend. She will play with the 6th graders May 6,Everything seems quite for awhile, Knitting wise I gotta get up off my duff and get going. Really want to take a nother trip toSusan's if I can. well thats all for now. bbl
