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!

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 28: dream a little dream
Dream a little dream, maybe of a simpler life... or maybe just a warmer life! And I really can't complain. The sun came out for a bit at the beach, and it was so wonderful. And then I drove to Portland. But, really, I am grateful to be in a part of town that has...
day 27: rainy day people
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow they can't rise above. -- Gordon Lightfoot There seems to be a lot of sorrow these days, a lot of things that aren't exactly working out the way we planned. But that is life sometimes. Unfortunately. My goal is to just try...
day 26: wooly bully
This photo makes me look a little like a bully! But a wooly bully would be ok. I am not quite sure what I was thinking when I put together this outfit. Seriously. It started with the shirt. Which I love, even though it is 2 sizes too big. Then, I thought, aprons...
appalachian flatfooting and clogging: week 2
It is almost the end of week 2 of my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Challenge. And, I can honestly say that I am seeing some progress. I have to admit.... I practiced a lot. I was a little nervous about showing up after I stated this HUGE intention for learning...
day 25: wildflowers
Wildflowers - we belong among them! Or in this case, wrapped up in wildflowers. The more I look at this shirt, the more I like it. It was one from my thrift shop excursion last week. At $2 bucks, I didn't even look at it that closely, but went on the weight of the...
day 24: blue
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...
