Vacation Mode, Stage One

The list of things to be accomplished before we leave grows shorter daily And yet, there are some items staring at me intently, in bold face.

I should get the sleeping bags out and make sure they are spider free. Really, I should. Really.

And shopping. I really ought to go grocery shopping for the camp box. We probably are going to be hungry along the way.

The Yellowstone books need to be perused/reviewed so we sort of have a plan. We've been before and mostly kind of know the place, but still it pays to have fresh knowledge. Oh, I'll just throw them in the car.

For now, it's enough to have a list. We are leaving Sunday, and that leaves all day Saturday! Why, that's FOREVER!

And I have my knitting figured out and organized, as well as my reading. Who cares about eating? I have the important stuff covered. And I found out there is a yarn store in Jackson Hole. Yes, there is! (I really need to check the sleeping bags, though...)

I have defined irony. For the Tour de Fleece, I have been spinning in the mornings before work, with a cup of coffee and the morning news. Very nice indeed. But it means giving up bicycling to work...hmmmm....

Speaking of the Tour de Fleece, tonight I will wind two more skeins, giving me a total of four. My goal was three skeins. So this is more. (Mind like a steel trap, that one has!) I have momentum on my alpaca fleece, and momentem feels good. Stats and photos tomorrow...after spider check.

Now, Betsy, the Flying Lendrum won't be accompanying Wonderful Guy and me on the trip, and I don't think I can spindle spin the baby alpaca rolags and deal with the veggie matter without mounting frustration. Since I have reached (and passed!) my TdF goal, I will toss in some top/roving from my stash that will be fun to spindle spin...around the campfire...in front of the tent...while swatting at mosquitoes...all I need to do is spin a little each day until the end of the race.
