Blue is just one of those colors.

I love blues, but mostly think of myself as a pink person.  I have a lot of turquoise jewelry, and even a turquoise and white Honda 50 scooter… and a ton of blue jean and chambray shirts.  An blue really seems to pair well with my iron gray Woolamina. But for some reason…. they hang there.  A huge collection of them. 

I think I may have to change that….

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:

Snow and ice on the Southern Washington Coast. Crazy — snow at the beach.  But it happens.  I was happy not to have to be out on the road today. 

So I pretty much stayed inside today.

I practiced my dance sequences, and made some videos — so I could see how I was progressing.  This was the second week… and the group get together is tomorrow — online, of course. 

You can check out my Blog Page, and watch me go from total beginner to Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Queen. It’s my covid skill challenge I gave myself — learn new things! I Only post once a week, so  I’ll do my post with the videos tomorrow!!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Speaking of knitting… here is a shameless plug: Check out my knitting page — Gypsywagonknits.com – and pick up some free patterns.

I am also on Ravelry — link on the GWK page!

I find it hard to “act naturally” when staring down the lens of a camera… or, in my case, aad cellphone mounted on a tripod.

It’s has taken a bit of getting used to, mounting my phone on a $20 tripod, and then using the Bluetooth “clicker” to snap the photo.   And in order to get my entire body in for a standing pose, the camera is so far away…. I can’t see what I am shooting!

So basically… I just snap a lot!  Between 30 – 50 will get me a few good ones… or at least enough for my post.

And it’s not that I am exceedingly vain, or have super high standards.  Heck, I have photos that I consider in the humbling category… but I post them anyway. Why??

Because it’s real.  That is pretty much how I look. And at 62 years old… I just don’t think I have to keep up my supermodel image anymore.  (Snicker)

So here’s to debunking the perfection myth. And here’s to the tired eyes, silver strands, poochy bellies, and all the lines on our faces, and scars on our bodies that show where we’ve been, and what we’ve survived.

What’s in store today:

After visiting more with Number 1, and practicing my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, I took off for the coast.  There was a storm front coming in, threatening to drop some snow in Portland, Oregon, and the SW Washington coast.  Indeed, it got into the 30s and did snow, so I am glad that I got an early start, and off the road.

I’ll be posting a follow-up video on Saturday for my  Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging page.  Should be interesting to see how much i have improved in a week.  I have practiced EVERY day!  Yee Haw!

Today, I  did something a little different.  I took the photos from the last 23 days, and used the phone  “Highlights” feature to make a little 1 minute movie!

So get out there and ACT NATURALLY!

One more cup of coffee — sometimes that is all you need! 

I used to drink coffee all day long.  There was always one more cup of coffee in the coffee pot.  And I never had any trouble sleeping. 

But, times have changed and now I just have one or two cups in the morning.  And then sometimes… I indulge myself with one more cup of coffee in the late afternoon.

Mostly I like my coffee unsweetened, but with whipping cream.  An old throwback from the 70’s from when mom was doing Atkins.  Now, with KETO being so popular,  heavy cream is back in style.  I just never stopped.

 ( although I must say, I really enjoy a dirty Chai every once in a while!)

What’s in store today:

More errands and appointments.  Which meant, I had to take my photos in the afternoon… instead of the usual morning.  And… I had to practice  my dance sequences later too… which is why I needed that “one more cup of coffee!” 

Still Working on that Tennessee Walking Step… trying to commit it to muscle memory.  And Carla, if you are reading, I am working on bending my knees!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Another great day in my Chippewa boots.  I swear, they seem to be getting more and more comfortable the longer I wear them.  Note: they run slightly larger– these are a size smaller, and they fit great.

This one does NOT have any Irish in it… because, I have some work to do still.  But, I might pick some up on the way back to the coast.  Be good to have when the snow hits!
