Judgey Part II – Who Am I? Why Am I Here?
I’m still working out a good strategy to get me to the next pit stop where I can, hopefully, get my flat fixed, have a gluten free snack and a drink of water and get back on the road. That’s why it sometimes takes me a long time to blog, to get my newsletter out, or to get some designs worked up and written down.

Last Days on the Road Trip

I live for ‘scopes like this…
And now I’m off for yet another day of driving where I will see and hug many friends at the end of the road! Loopy Yarns in Chicago, WATCH OUT! [ www.loopyyarns.com ]
Rain & Pain & Knitting Gain!
I was ostensibly looking for tonic water (my roommate brought gin, which is why I love her…) and I found it at the United Dairy Farmers.
But I became so carried away with the warm, fragrant evening and rode in silly circles with my headlight flashing and a dopey grin on my face.
I Like To Ride My Bicycle
If you see me riding around St. Paul, wave! I’ll be the one grinning on my bike!
