Fun Day at Silver Dollar City!!!



Mowing on Sweet Grass ranch



At the MOPACA alpaca show in Kansas City.

"Jacob" with his

BLUE RIBBON!!

His fleece was appreciated and the judge said Jacob was the "total package" .

He has wonderful crimpy, thick, fine fleece.

The best thing is that he is white and his fleece can be spun and dyed into any color in the rainbow.

Whereas if you have brown fleece, you have brown yarn.

If you have black fleece, you have black yarn.

If you have gray fleece, you have gray yarn.

White fleece can be anything!!!



Halter training alpacas is like potty training a toddler. 
If they throw themselves on the ground and refuse to get up you pretend to smile and take a picture.

Sometimes I pretend to be organized. 

 Like when I stack. 

 

 

It is faux organization. 

 

Faux prepared.

 

Faux organized stack of trimmer string.

 

 

Faux organized stack of quilt squares that haven't yet been sewn

.

Can't think of a really good punch line for the end of this so make up your own on my

Faux organization??

Had a great weekend in Hutchinson with these two fun  ladies. We toured the Underground Salt Museum. Cruised the antique shops. Swam. I won the firestarting contest, (because I brought the battery operated candles)! Drank some delicious wine. We went to bed early and fell asleep with smiles on our faces!!  Love you girls a teepee full!!



My family comes to my house for Thanksgiving and I love it! Turkey, Dressing, Chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes, oyster casserole.  Mom's pumpkin pies!!

For a little extra fun I spell out everybody's names around the house and make them find it!  Makes them get up and look around.  The only rule is nobody can tell someone else where their name is!!

I will have to get more creative.  They've figured out my usual display spots.  Maybe they should be disguised?  Hmm...
