Where are you, girl?

I have no excuse other than the weather has been nice, the yarn is calling me, and I miss my digital camera! Really! I have seen a fox and a quail and was unable to capture the moment! I have only caught sight of both critters twice in my life! And I couldn't share it with all of you. The fall colors are spectactular and I can't post any photos! My dad suggested I send it back to the manufacturer to see if they could repair it and I am going to look into that soon.

I know why Sooz and Cassandra have not been updating their blogs!Maybe Anne too? Facebook! Sooz talked me into signing up also and I have found a few familiar faces there. Don't ask me to explain how it works, it is still a mystery to me, however, I can tell you that it is extremely social. So far, I mean that in a good way.

LC Guy contacted me about a week ago and we are going to try dating again, slowly and with no strings attached. I have been asked several times how I feel about this and I say, "Sure, why not date someone that has the ability to make you feel like a million, well-cared-about bucks?" I would not want to miss out on that. :) In this ecconomy, that is a good return. And I am not referring to wall street, just relationships. The dating pool is shallow "Up North" and the winters are long. I have updated my profiles on Yahoo and Match and put my neck out there to see what happens.

My web page class is going great. The girls are great. I have 8 girls and no boys. This will be interesting, maybe they will concentrate better? Anyway, I am trying something new this year and it seems to be working so far. I am walking them through the first assignment, not once, but twice. The second week we had 3 new students so some went through it once and some twice, the second time I added a lot more so the first week's students benefited from the repetition and the new stuff. I like the approach and they don't look afraid and overwhelmed! I hate that look on a student! :)

Last weekend I concentrated on spinning with my spindle and braiding for a rug. It was so nice on Saturday and Sunday, I did it all out on the deck.

So the short story is: I am doing good, dreading winter bills but working to build up my savings and avoid tempting purchases.

Well, this is short, I know, but it had been so long since I had written, I was starting to dread trying to "catch up" with everything.
