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 23: act naturally
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...
day 22: one more cup of coffee
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...
day 21: tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon... I'm just beginning to see... By the end of the week, I will be a quarter of the way through this challenge. Wow... it's gone fast! And I am beginning to see some unexpected benefits. I have been going through my current clothes with fresh eyes,...
day 19: sunny
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. The weather is so unpredictable here in the Pacific Northwest. Rain yesterday, sun today... and snow coming this weekend. So we dress in layers, and in the winter... lots of them. This is working out quite well for...
day 18: crazy
Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane. The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So... no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn't want to go out...
day 17: shop around
My daughter told me... you better shop around!! And that is generally what we like to do. When we are in Portland, we go to one of the Goodwills. However, I found the best ever thrift shop near my home in Long Beach, Washington. I've been to the REACHOUT...
