I've gotten back my processed roving from Mette and Tom of Ranch of the Oaks! It includes fluff from my llamas + Rashida the alpaca!

Strategy:
Selective Journaling

Put a Lid On It:

Some cooling down of the weather has led to stews and such in my kitchen.

Aw Shoot!

Okay, so I have discovered that I can use a mild running injury as an excuse to wear a tight skirt and low pumps and walk slowly....

The racing season is upon me!

Summer Running Essentials:

Please remember to hydrate you and any running pals.
Important facts:

Blather:

We have completed an amazing summer. Struggles to get an appropriate educational placement for my son. Thanks to our own well-loved Allison 1031 for her review of Camp CogKnitive on her podcast The Hollywood Knitter.
