Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir, Three (or Ten) Bags Full


One of the things the shearer required was ten large garbage bags in which to put the wool. I am not a spinner. So I have no need of it. I decided to advertise it on Craigslist. It has been entertaining. I put it on the "Free" list. Apparently, a lot of people read the Free list. It was great fun reading all the responses: [ My thoughts in italics]


Hi there, Just checking to see if you still have the wool? We have a weaving group that would be interested in having it cleaned and processing for traditional weaving.


Hi.. do you still have the wool from your sheep to give away? do you know what breed your sheep are? Yep. They are (were) woolly sheep.


I am with the Local Spinners and weavers and would be interested.Please call me back. - OK, but wouldn't it be easier if you left a phone number?


i would love to take that wool off your hands! when and where? I don't have wool on my hands...I think...


will call in the morning. Al can pick it up just after 4. he works till then...So far, no phone call.


Hey there! Can you drop a bag of in [insert city name] ? Sort of a half-hearted request. Don't think my boyfriend would want to help there! My husband thinks this is a great idea, but we will be charging 50$ for delivery.


I was wondering if it would be good to stuff a dogs bed??Is it relatively clean? Well, no, it's not clean and I don't know about a dog's bed, but the lambs sure liked it.



It is amazing how much fun free can be. The outcome will be decided tomorrow. I have a lady who promised she would come and pick it all up. Ifshe doesn't show, I will contact the man who said he had a 'thingie' to do whatever it was that needed to be done to the wool. Finally, someone who knows as much as I do about these things!

Wouldn't have missed it for the world

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? Those dark eyes turned blue and the black hair turned blond, and too quickly, this little guy grew taller than his dad and me. Today, it is eighteen years since that bright, blue-skies February morning when he made his debut. It has been eighteen years of many wonderful memories. Very early, I heard him chuckle at his sister's antics. He used to crawl on his belly, pulling himself along with his elbows. And when he was learning how to eat solids, he would say "mmmmNummNumm" as he ate, making the heart of the cook soar (even though it came from a jar). There was the day that I told him that if he sat and watched too much t.v. he would become a couch potatoe. He switched the t.v. off, and proceeded to inform me with little hands outstretched, and sincerity in his voice, that if he played too much Lego, he would become a Lego blueberry. And the Christmas season when we were doing Advent activities. He was drawing a picture of the ...

I decided to make March my month to release the expired. So far...   I have thrown out all makeup with less than one drop in the bottom of the jar.    I finally dumped the cauliflower in cheeze sauce I made for Christmas dinner.      I threw out the Pepto Bismol from 2010 - not even opened. It feels good to be rid of them.  It also makes me happy that I won't have to worry about bacteria in old makeup   And that my husband won't get sick from my cooking    And that my health has been good enough not to need the Pepto Bismol at all. Inspired by these events, I went through my closets. It is almost time to swap the winter for the summer.  My winter clothes seemed to have stood the test of time for now.  However, my shoes were showing major signs of wear.  I decided on two pairs that I need to say "Farewell" to. The corollary of getting rid of what is expired is that I now have room to add a couple new pairs. ...
