This is the El
Diablo at Tango in Seattle Washington the most wicked of desserts

Any one that has been at my house has had a cup of tea (at least it's been offered) Jan is also really into tea as well so we brought back a huge haul from Canada

Back from vacation Mary and I began work.

Long days and short nights have worn out Mary and Cleo

NW Autumn in Merino/Angora/Cashmere

A day at our County Fair

This is a great idea for added yield for a garden cucumbers up and
lettuce under

plants for sale

It's a Day to dye for! A dyeing party hosted by Mary and I left to right Kirsten, Linda P, Jan and Becky Rose

Shelia (of Glass needles fame)

Linda Kirsch

Now we work
Shabori scarves

Meanwhile Emily bought this new car (remember Emily one of the interns last year? She drove so many miles in my car last year I guess she wanted one herself)

Cari with her yarn and scarf

Mary with a finished scarf

Next day we went to the
Canterbury's Faire in
Silverton and saw jousting

Becky wearing a mask

in the next week Jan took Mary, Linda and I to Timberline Lodge

Craftsmanship of the
CCC

Most everything was hand woven at Timberline lodge this is a sample of the weaving

The loom

A display

What a room looks like at the lodge

I loved the details that define this landmark

A lot of "Glens" on this shelf

Mary getting ready to jump on the chairlift

There was so much snow but peaking through was a few flowers

Smokey and Mary

Lunch at the lodge

After a long day we stopped for a break at Voodoo Doughnuts

Mary, Gina (Loops in Tulsa came to visit) and I went for a visit to Lantern Moon and came back with this

Meanwhile Cleo takes another break

And Steven learns to knit at Jennifer Knits

Our livestock feeds on the peach trees

Then Mary leaves to go to Alaska with her parents and I go to Becky's house to try and rid myself of the virus that still is lingering since Black Sheep. I took this picture of soap. The same soap I had purchased in Canada during my trip with Blair in 1978, good times

This is my recovery room at Becky's house I sat here for a whole week

Found this in a local shop, yes we went all the way to Canada for it and it is right here in Silverton

Umm I saw this in Silverton and wondered how much this driver really wanted a passenger......

A visit to Silver Grille and our good friends Jeff and Naomi

Then it was Sock Summit and here is my sheep, Trish's lamb sheared having donated his fleece

Recovering from the excesses of two days at Sock Summit and still not recovered Lily and Cleo makes sure I stay in bed

The deer have eaten most of the lilies that I have but here are some of the ones that escaped

Do you know this door? It's one of my favorite places

Cottage Bakery in Long Beach Wa.! A picnic for Mark's 1/2 year's Birthday
He got a Kite and while we waited for the charcoal to get ready Emma and Mark tried it out

Snacks and work

After lunch a walk on the beach and what a walk thousands of birds were feasting on something really good

As far as the eye could see there were Brown Pelicans, Gulls and Terns

Mark having his Birthday treat

Abel got one too Look at how happy Don is, this is Abel's last clean outfit

Meanwhile another picture of yarn

Mary came back! And as a special treat brought her parents to Tanglewood and we went to Silver Falls

The next day we went to Ft. Vancouver and saw these wonderful flowers

The garden at Ft. Vancouver

A visit too short we delivered Mary's Parents to the airport and then another visit to Voodoo

I'm much improved and we are counting the days to Mary's departure for good. I'm dreading the day and trying to get all the work done we can. Steven comes to help me pack up Tanglewood for a couple of months in LA. We are almost ready for VK Live and ahead of our schedule.
I'm now caught up and in the present. We've got a busy week ahead and then I'm without Mary........

Just remember that!
I'm glad that you are feeling much better and that you are ahead of the game.
A month or two in the SUN will help get that crud out.
Much love to you!!
