Wonderful weekend

My weekend started on Saturday as we (Rick and I) took the day off to go to the Woodbury garage sales. We many things we were looking for for the camper. I found a garage sale that was selling yarn I purchased 10 skeins of 85% cotton 15% silk. Two skeins of sock yarn roving all for $25.

In the afternoon we both had eye appointments. I do not need glasses yet he did say it will most likely be next year that I will need to get reading glasses. We then pulled the camper out of the garage and cleaned it for the first time. Rick took me out to dinner at a wonderful restaurant in Lake Elmo called Gormans.

Saturday the family went to the shepherds harvest for a few hours. I purchased some soysilk merino roving. I will be purchasing a drop spindle for lace weight to spin this roving. Rylyn loved to look at the "pacas" as she says it, and the bunnies. We did have to tell her the bunnies were like a friends dog to get her to pet it. She was not sure of the sheep making all that noise. we all have a great time.


On Sunday we spent most of the day at home then went to the mom inlaws for dinner. it was an alright day.

I wish I did not have to go back to work in the morning we had such a nice weekend.

What have I been up to.

Well I just realized today that I have not posted since my birthday. I had a great birthday, Yarn harlot was excellent. School has kept me busy. this quarter I have Comp 101, marketing and Microsoft office II (working with office 2007) which is interesting. I now work in 3 different versions of Microsoft office. School I have to use 2007, work is 97 and home is 2004 for Macs. All of which are very different to use. No wonder my brain feels like it is going in 20 different directions. I found out today that we start to register for summer quarter on monday and I hope there are HR class offered this summer so I can start to working on my major.

I have not done much in the knitting department. I am still working on my socks and dish clothes for a friend. i am looking forward to going to the shepherds harvest festival this weekend. I will be looking for roving to spin, and yarn to make the shawl. I will also be pricing spinning wheels as I really would like o buy one.
