4TH OF JULY


Summer is official here with the 4th of July holiday coming!
And if you couldn't tell from the calendar,
in most parts of the USA it is HOT!
Now I love summer but these 90's days are a bit too much.

Of course I saved my wool dyeing until it got really 'warm'.
But with my dye kitchen in the garage and there being some AC out
there it really isn't too bad.
I hit the dye pots this week with wonderful new blues,
greens, reds, salmons/bricks ( my new favorite color) and some great browns.
Many more yards to dye before camp starts July 19th but what is better than the
pressure of a deadline!

Bad news is we didn't get the cabin we made the offer on. A cash offer came about
and since our house hasn't sold there is no way we wanted two house payments.

Good news.... Neil has turned in his papers and is going to retire. He will probably work until September 1st. But with lots of vacation days to use up between now and September he will be home lots! Guess this will be 'practice' retirement!

FINALLY PLEASE DON'T FORGET OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN FIGHTING AND TRYING TO KEEP PEACE IN SOME GOD AWFUL CONDITIONS SO THAT WE ALL CAN ENJOY THE FREEDOM WE SO KNOW IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY THERE IS.....
