We did go to OMSI with the kidlets on Wednesday and had a wonderful time. there is SO much to see there that we could have spent lots more than the several afternoon hours we were there. The last exhibit we were in was devoted to cartoon making and even had an area where the kids could do their antics while being filmed, and needless to say, it was quite popular.. esp. with Alex. A plus factor was that there were not many other people there, so no crowds around the fun stuff.
Hope to get to Costco later today, or tomorrow, to get a long worktable to put by my sewing machine. The new sewing place is making slow progress as I've been busy in my studio getting more fibers dyed for NW Wools. Stopped by the shop last week and the shelves are nearly bare again.... a good thing, I suppose, but it means i have to actually do some work, which i'm getting used to not doing so much of lately. One of these days i'll take the "semi" out of "semi-retired" and see how that feels.... i have a feeling it will be pretty fine!! Also, need to get some fibers dyed to take to Alabama end of June when I go to help Lynne with a class. That will be a fun time as it is part of the reunion of the class she did in Sewanee last spring, and it's a long weekend retreat/spin-in kind of thing. Then will be in Sewanee for 4th of July, and after that go up to Knoxville to spend a few days with my sis in her new house. First weekend in October will go to Taos for the Wool Festival and to help Lynne with a sock class there.... so will need to be dyeing more fibers for that. So, the reality is that I am still having fun with the "semi-retired" state of being. And we are thinking of going back to Crete mid-October, and including a couple of weeks in Italy.
