Who knows what is next?

This is Mr. Bean our new Chihuahua, a rescue by Laura!!! Go Laura!!!

Well, here we go again, Laura has lost her job and does not really want one, but her savings will not last! As a Mom I am worried, altho I certainly understand where she is coming from. We get Josh to working finally, and then this! That is all I will say about that!

I have been interviewing, miracle of miracles! I actually have gotten two interviews, one for guidance counselor at GW in Danville, and one at the Roanoke City Library as Teen Librarian, I can't think of anything worse except reference librarian! It would be a starting place for me tho! I do like teens, I just say I do not, I feel somedays like I am still one of them!

Now, I have to work on a project for the interview and learn power point. I am excited and happy to go and meet these ladies, make a project with them whether I get the job or not, I really do not care, I got an interview!! Here is what Laura and I were thinking, we could set up her living room to do classes in, and to sell yarn. Then she can go talk to the girl down below and get her to let us use her parking spaces, and set up classes through park service, they will do her advertising. Then she can begin to teach classes and get some of her yarns out there. If she plays her cards right, she could get her business going and get a part time management position at one of the pet stores, and have some fun for a change. I am willing to help as long as I am not working, or if I get the job in Danville, or that area!

In the meantime, I am opening a new Etsy shop, Page's Pendants and Jewels. It will take all the 'other' stuff out of Dreamspinners and leave it just to yarn and fiber, knitting and spinning tools, etc. Fiber and yarn related things like the Nostepindes will stay there. Then we will have Boogie's Bags, Dreamspinner's and Page's Pendants and Jewels. I plan to stock that shop with items to make jewelry once I get the funds to finance it. (Translation: get a job) Time for coffee ladies, brb!

I am looking forward to spinning classes. I hope that Laura will take over the spindle classes so that I can do the wheel spinning! I have my tencel/wool with me to spin, then realized, all my wheels but the Ashford Country are at her place!! I have a huge box of black and the whole container of confetti as well as the brown and the tan balls of Juli's I really need to spin!! I may have to go get a wheel.

Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains!

We are back to our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains from Florida and Georgia!

We got home yesterday after taking the long way around Robin Hood's barn! First we went to Sallygayle's and left Sweet Pea, spent the night, went on to ScrapGirl's in Georgia, and stayed a couple of nights with the girls and He who works all the time! Then went on to our destination!! How exciting, Florida's Gulf Coast, White Sands, Clear Crystal Water, and a 328 square foot travel trailer for the two of us and Dolly and Zorro!! For a previously undetermined amount of time! This is fun, but where is the Baseball Boy? Has he gotten a job? Has he mowed the grass? Has he kept up the house? Why is it so quiet around here, when we lived here there was always bothersome noise? Did everyone on the cul-de-sac die off?

Nope! I hear trucks, it is the 3 Musketeers, now all grown up with 4 trucks between them, all still living at home and one of the trucks is a huge panel truck which goes out at night and returns -BEFORE I AWAKEN- No, that is as I awaken----from the racket outside my window and both my animals barking at him!!

I have come to the conclusion that it matters not where you are in this life, you are either happy or you are not. and it is up to you. I am happy when:

I have my little Dolly with me.

I have my Zorro bird who everyone says is just plain nasty!
I have my sweet Grizzly husband, who some also say is nasty!
Enough money in the bank to buy food.
Trees are outside the window where I am.
My fiber creeps after me everywhere I go.
There is a spinning wheel within reach.
There is dye and naked yarn within reach.

My knitting needles are within reach, and my magazines are lined up like little soldiers following me around.

My teeth are out of my mouth but within the area where I can get them in case of emergency.
my feet are bare and comfy--being diabetic-I catch a lot of grief about this lately.
There is water somewhere within 3 hours that I can stick my feet in, and it smells like saltwater, brackish water, or just plain ole swamp mud.
A cabin in the woods by the river is definately in my future.

Smile and throw kisses, that is all I need!!
Go look in my shop at:

and tell me what is missing!

Off I go again, to learn to use my CSM, then I am heading down to Laura's for a few days, we have yarn to dye and pictures to take to get up into the shop. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I will finally make socks on my CSM.

Love you all!! op
