I had a fantastic day yesterday road tripping with Ashley and Hannah to Brown Sheep. I was going to show you pics of my loot, but it is super overcast right now. It is supposed to clear this afternoon so perhaps I’ll get shots then. I’m afraid it was also grey yesterday with periods of fog and rain while we were out and about so I have no pictures to show you from yesterday (though perhaps Hannah will be sharing a few she took on her blog).

We ate at the great Whistle Stop Cafe in Scottsbluff again. It is such a trip to go there. You walk through the doors and you are transported back about 30 years, LOL! The food is great and the portions very generous though. The tour of the factory at Brown Sheep was even better than last year. We ended up with the owner and she had some fantastic stories to tell and she even shared with us one of the new lines of yarns they are planning to introduce in June. I think we got to see about 1/4 of the colors they will be offering in that line. There were of course some amazing deals in the store as well. Needless to say, Ashley’s trunk was filled!

I have all kinds of designs floating around in my head so I think today I’ll spend getting those down on paper. There must be something with being surrounded by sooooo much fiber and yarn, LOL!

As far as the health goes, I have had a new symptom crop up in the last 36 hours or so. That means tomorrow afternoon I get to spend time at the doctor’s office again and perhaps even the lab. *sigh* It’s annoying, but I think all the worry about the various things that could be wrong with me is much, much worse. I’m such a worrywart! I suppose my quiet time entertainment hasn’t been the smartest option - watching House Season 2, LOL!

Anyway, thanks to all of you for your concern and support in the previous post. I really appreciate it! You sure know how to make a gal who isn’t feeling so good feel better.

I refuse to watch the medical shows for that very reason. I think I have absolutely everything they discuss. I’m looking forward to seeing your new buys.

I’m having trouble working today as thoughts of all my new yarn are floating around in my head!

It sounds like heaven! A whole factory of yarniness…dreamy.

Hope things go well with your health. I will be sending healthy vibes your way.

Good luck at the doctor’s office. I’ve never been big on medical dramas because they do tend to make me worry excessively about everything, but House is the exception for me because Hugh Laurie’s just so darn good. (Doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally think I have something really nasty because one symptom coincides with something on the show.)

Hope all goes well with your health.

I am on a strict fiber diet. Yeah, right. I just came home from Benders with the last of their alpaca/Vandy’s coat. Well, someone has to empty their fleece stash out before shearing.

Sounds like a great day!! :o)

Good luck at the doctor - you might want to not watch House ’til you’re better…? ;o)

Well at least you had a great yarny day to sustain you thru your doctor visit!

I’m hoping you get to the root of your issues soon, it’s terrible not feeling well and not knowing how to deal with it!

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. Alergies are so hard to figure out. I got my Spin Off and was so inspired by your article. Wonderful job, beautifully dyed, spun and knit. You deserve a ton of kudos grrl!

I hope you figure out the health situation soon. Glad you had a great time at Brown Sheep. I’m so jealous. :)
