I love Saturdays....we offer FREE knitting classes every Saturday 11 to 1 pm and we get some of the most fun people in here that learn to knit. They usually thinking knitting is some odd torture that only someone ELSE can do or even WANT to do. Today we have a needlefelting class with 5 people. Our own Sue P. from Hemlock is teaching. She's awesome! Does detail work like you just can't believe. Little teeny tiny things.... it's seriously cool. Oh, boy.
COUNTDOWN TO YARNOVER: 26 and a wake up!!!! (Until we go to Marshall......)
Only 31 days and a wakeup until the Girls' Getaway Weekend (aka GGW or Yarnover, not Sleepover, but Yarnover, get it?)
We are now officially closed! That is to say, there are NO MORE ROOMS AT THE INN. If you didn't get in on this great weekend, you have missed it!!! There are 32 people coming. Fun folks! And cute pajamas, too, I'm told!!
OMG! The Blog lives!!!!! Is that like the BLOB lives? Yeah, I guess it IS, kinda.... we've actually had a (count that as ONE) comment on our blog. Whoo hoo!!!! We're on a roll, jelly bean...
Snow. Then snow. Then more snow. Blah. It was nice today when the sun was shining. I even got ambitious and shoveled most of my driveway (no small feat, either). Then, an hour later, the next door neighbor's adult son showed up with his big ole truck and plowed the driveway completely. I love Merrill. The people here are awesome like that.
Dale and I were both off today.... Mondays the shop is closed. Sometimes we have 4H meetings with our kids. Not today. Yay. Love the little buggers but sometimes it's nice that they aren't here. Thank you all of the Sweethearts in Halters llama club supporters. You know who you are..... the people that put money in our 4H bucket every Knit Nite. The ones that we force pies onto to help raise money for camp. Thank you. We have enough funds now for our April Llama Show at Michigan State University AND to go to Llama Camp (www.youthjamboree.net). Last year was a blast. And we learned a lot of stuff. This year promises to be just a great.
Knit Nite: Every Tuesday starting at 5 pm. Last week not so many. Illnesses and weariness.... got the best of us. I think they didn't come because they were afraid we'd have leftover snacks from Xmas time. Fooled them! Dale's philosophy is this.... if either Dale or I bring in something to eat, then we will have lots and lots of stuff. But if neither of us does, then we have nothing. One week we all shared 3 Ritz crackers. It was pathetic. But one week 3 people brought cheesecake! Yeehah! Hit the lotto. We'll see about tomorrow.
I'm gonna try to keep updating this stupid blog every few days now. Let me know if you're reading it, ok?
I'm pretty sure that there isn't a soul out there reading this garbage. BUT! If you are, please send me an email, just so's I'll know, ok? It's now 2:08 a.m. Sunday morning and I think I've figured out how to do this. Maybe. Anyone got any Diet Mountain Dew? That'll help....
Ok, I admit. I have almost NO clue as to how these blog things work. Hang with me... maybe we can evolve together. Just how much patience DO you have, anyway?
