Day 90 of  #tracywearswool, and actually no need to send in the clowns… because they are already here!

Today I met up with Carolyn, and we had a great time!! I met her through another wool peep — who commented on my post — you have to meet my friend Carolyn.  Anyway, we hit it off, and she decided to join the challenge!!

I ordered her a Fugetek tripod  —like the one I use. Seriously, the best $20 investment for taking selfies!! And today, we met up on Hawthorn Street in Portland, to eat and do the hand-off. (For the most part, we wore masks, and just removed them to eat and take photos!)

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Thai food lunch on Hawthorn, because the Greek coffee place in the double-decker bus was closed.  Lots of giggles, and great fun.  And a little clowning around. Check out the great tiara and wonderful shirt Carolyn is lending me for my 100th day photo!!

We ordered from the food cart, and sat outside under the covered patio.  

And… there is parking!!  Bonus!!  Carolyn had the Pad Thai and Thai Ice Coffee and was pretty happy.

As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with!

Day 89 of  #tracywearswool. And I am in the mood for singing… and for Spring in the Pacific Northwest.

We have had some absolutely gorgeous days — up into the 80’s and then down into the 40s.  Crazy, so it is best to dress in layers in this neck of the woods.

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is?

They are all out here in Portland.  Singing their songs, cheering us up.

Sing a Song is a great song by the R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire. It was released on the 1976 double live LP, Gratitude, and it spent two weeks at number one on the R&B singles chart.

And… it’s catchy! Have a listen:

And, Yay!! I found the clicker to my Fugetek tripod  —I thought I left it in Portland, but it found its way in my travel kit!!  Now, I have two… so I can leave on in the car for travel! Best $20 ever!

What’s in store today:

It’s a beautiful day, and we have a wonderful drive along the Columbia River to Portland, with a stop in Scappoose at the best Goodwill. And maybe the drive-through taco place!

I am starting to think of what to wear for my 100-day celebration outfit!!

Tutu and Tiara? Pearls and Chucks? Clown Barf? Out of my comfort zone??

We will have to see!!!

Day 88 of  #tracywearswool. What could be more perfect than this dress? Goes with everything.

It has been a crazy weekend – I have Number 1 visiting me up on the coast, and lots of guests checking in and out, a late poker night — where we played blackjack and ate pizza…. oh… and a fire broke out next door and we almost had to evacuate.  Whew.

Can’t wait to pick up my Fugetek tripod & clicker that I left in Portland.  It has been crazy trying to shoot photos without it.

But I have been digging making these little videos!!

What’s in store today:

Beautiful almost summer day… lots going on… knitting, and blogging, and hanging out at the beach!

I have had a lot of folks ask if the dress is hot — and the answer is DEFINATELY NOT HOT! It is a light weight, stretchy jersey knit… and actually quite cool.

Also — DOES NOT ITCH — which is question #2.

Day 86 of  #tracywearswool. When I dress up, well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the one who’s dressing up with you.

With apologies to the Proclaimers.  But that is pretty much how it is…. undying love for my dress Woolamina.  Because I will walk 500 miles, and I would  walk 500 more…. Just to be the one who walks a thousand miles to Fall down at Wool’s door>

Such a great stress!!  ANd I have been having so much fun with the challenge.  This weekend, i have fallen a bit behind — as I faced the problem of leaving my Bluetooth clicker for my Fugetek tripod… in Portland.

So these photos, have been made using the timer…. and a few other features!!  But to be safe, I have ordered a second — because at under $20, I can have them in both spots!

What’s in store today:

Starting to warm up… and Number 1  made it up to the coast with me!! Yay for camping!! And what is better for camping than… Bacon.  This Shot courtesy of Jen … It was her bacon and cup!!

Coming into the home stretch, with less than 2 weeks remaining.  What will I do after… Nor sure.  Probably join the After Challenge Facebook Group, and get my reward dress all picked out and ordered!

Day 86 of  #tracywearswool. Let the midnight special shine it’s ever-loving light on me.

Nice to have light shine i=on you even if it is from a prison train.  Or so the song goes.  one of my very favorite CCR songs.

It is funny how songs stick with us…. just a few notes of the opening riff… and everyone knows exactly what song it is.  And they know a lot of the words.  Just how it goes.

Music is one of the great unifying forces in nature. I firmly believe that.

What’s in store today:

Crazy mid 70 weather in Portland.  A great day for lawn mowing and leaf blowing… and for moving along on a garden project.  And today… we got water!!

Pretty nice, and makes getting into the main house easy. And it is a great spot for the Star Jasmine to wind its way up.
