Monday, Monday, so good to me.
But then, every day is a good day. There are good days at the Beach, and good days in Portland. In the not to distant future, I am sure there will be good days visiting other places.. (For instance… I have still never been to Seattle… or to the Gorge!)
My life is not without challenges, but overall, I feel blessed with good friends, family and health. And a couple of great dogs. And… a nice car, and places to live, and musical instruments, and yarn, and……
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:
Driving to Portland, Shopping, and hanging out with Number 1.
I also practiced Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, going over the foundation steps, and working on the sequences. Trying to get down the Tennessee Walking Step!! I made new blog page yesterday — you can see it HERE.
Here’s what I came up with for today!
This is the $2 Ralph Lauren Vest that I picked up at the thrift store the other day. And the boots are UGGS that Number 1 no longer wanted — Yippee!
I wrapped it all in a poncho — reminds me a bit of High Plains Drifter.
And in the middle, Woolmina and a plaid flannel shirt made by American Eagle. Super comfy, and great for a long road trip.
This is me fiddling with the camera on my FUGETEK Bluetooth tripod.
And some lovely sock yarn from DGY — think I’ll start some socks to go with my vest!
On these long drives, I like to listen to audio books. This is what I am currently listening to — and loving. I heard him speak on Public Radio, and it inspired me to get the book.
More to come — so check back often!

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!
SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 33: My lulu gal
Hop high my lulu gal! I found Lulu --aka Lularoe-- at the Goodwill, hanging out with a bunch of her sisters. So I brought them all home with me and got them comfortable in my closet.. One, I had on under my Woolamina yesterday -- and I loved the way it felt. Today,...
appalachian flatfooting and clogging: week 3
I had so much fun in my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging week 3! And the best part, I can see that I am making progress. My motto for this is "PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION." Because at 62, I decided I don't need to be perfect. Or even come close to it!! Week 3 is all...
day 32: just dance
Just Dance! Dancing is not something that comes naturally to me. Trust me, it takes me a lot of effort to get around the right/left issue of my dyslexia. But it also gives me the opportunity for a good belly laugh... and that is good for the soul. Today was our...
Day 31: what a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydream... in fact, what a year! Seems like I have spent a lot of time this past year daydreaming about what to do when "this" is all over. I suppose it is the ultimate diversionary tactic... the best in creative avoidance. And although it is good...
day 30: banana republic
Down to the Banana Republic. Down to the tropical sun. Sounds pretty good to me, as I sit freezing my fanny off in the Pacific Northwest. Really, never thought I would see snow at the beach, but there you have it. Cold, Icy and Windy. But at Number 1's house, she...
day 29: my dogs and me
Life is good for my dogs and me. Just me and the four-legged children. The others have fled the nest -- two in San Francisco, one in New York, and one in Portland. I am currently at Number 1's house in Portland. She is away, so I have taken over. Nice. So if you...
