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!

day 99 of #tracywearswool: miles from nowhere
Day 99 of the #tracywearswool dress challenge -- it is down to the wire. I am out in a remote little town on the Long Beach Peninsula in Southern Washington... pretty much miles from nowhere -- if you are used to living in a city. But I love it here, and I love the...

Day 98 of the #tracywearswool dress challenge -- and I was supposed to be in Portland today. But, I am not. Instead of meeting a fellow Woolander and going for a walk, I am still at the beach. Not that THAT is so terrible... it is, after all ... the BEACH. I found...
