racing out the door with cell phone, lap top, and grabbing the phone book as well,

wish we had sunflowers this year like we did in 2008

Now why would I need a phonebook if I have all that other "new technology" stuff in hand? Well, I just need to thumb through the pages to look up information. It is like, how will I know what I am looking for if I can't start with one of the pages and work my way to the answer? Or, if I am not were there is internet the computer can't help me. And I don't want to pay extra for the cell phone to call information and have them get me the number. I would rather - grab the phonebook then later, not remember that I stashed it under my seat in the car - right? Oh well, I take so much stuff with me when I run out the door, it would be nice to quietly walk out the door and leave with out thinking I am the eye of the hurricane.

This week has been crazy. I am trying to finish up some deadlines so I can leave next week without so much "guilt" sitting on my shoulders. I am almost finished with the logo job and I will post it here when I am done, I really am liking it. And the new yarn show in Atascadero, Ranch Dog Knitting, I just sent out their on-line newsletter tonight - but I need to get more of their website done soon soon soon... I had a photo shoot with the Central Coast Weavers guild on Tuesday. I shoot the photos of some of the products that will be sold at our November Sale. Then I create postcard and the posters, which need to be sent to the print before I can leave on Wednesday. And I have a meeting for another job just before I leave this coming Tuesday. Could things be picking up in the graphic world? Dare I hope?

My big 2007 winner, Moose, at OFFF, Oregon.

So, were am I going this coming Wednesday. I am going to Canby Oregon to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival, which I have shown my Pygora goats at, I think, a total of  6 years. It is 900 miles one way from here. This year, those putting on the show collected money to fly me up since I will bet the Pygora Goat Judge. I will be judging the Pygora shows, two of them and a "All other" fiber goat show as well. I am so looking forward to this trip. I plan on taking my Support Spindle and joining the spinning circle on Saturday and spinning. Sunday I will be judging alllllll day, but I have all day Saturday to check out the festival, visit with my fiber sisters,  and maybe learn something. Friday night I will judge the Pygora fiber show. All these boxes will have Pygora fleeces in them, and I will work my way though them looking for the best and then the best of the best. I know at least one person will be very happy with my work. The Winner! I hope I do good.

My  spindles and Pygora roving

What I haven't done on my to do list. I haven't sheared those bucks yet. I plan on doing it this Sunday - I can I can I can. I haven't worked on cleaning up the garden, and I haven't worked with my horses. I will try to do better.

What I am liking:  the weather has been perfect, I have been walking in the early evenings and it is soo very nice, and I finished knitting a burnt orange beaded shawl. And a friend bought a natural colored shawl and sent it to England to a family member. YA! I hope she likes it.
Until next time - enjoy the last days of summer, Fall starts Sept 23 and it is a full moon as well! Wonder what that means, maybe plant the fall garden that day?
