No I did not fall off the face of the earth.  Life kinda carried me away.  Since my last post in April alot has changed.  I had a job at the local icecream shop as manager. I was working 40+ hours aweek, but that was not enough for her.  I asked for a day off to go to a job interview, because the icecream stops flowing after labor day. and she fired me.   Oh well!   I do have a new job that I start on Monday.  I am very excited about it.   I will be working for a local county ARC as there Medical Trainer.    July 1st was Hot and Hazy II.   We had a good turn out compared to last year.  I want to Thank all the vendors for coming.  I will try to include some pictures.  We are hoping that next year is an even bigger turn out.                                                                           
   I bought 2 new spindles from Janet Lynn of The Wheel Thing.  A Tabachek and a Forrester, along with a skein of sock yarn.  From Grafton Fibers I purchased 2 batts of fiber,  a bright blue and one that is orange and turquise blended.  I am hoping to make socks from them.  They are already spun.                                                                                                                                          
      Some of my other spinning purchased happened at Cummington.  I bought my pretty Saxony wheel,  A Country Craftsman.  I have wanted one for a while.   Yes I now have 3 wheels. 
I try to give them each equal time.    I also picked up a Russian Lace spindle from Janet Lynn.  It is walnut and beautiful.  I have not learned how to use it yet but I will.    Also bought a fleece from Mary Pratt.  Sad that you have to travel 2 hours to purchase from you neighbor, but that is how it goes.
     My knitting has come to a stand still.  I joined the Mystery Stole 2 knit along and had to rip out the first 9 rows and I just have not gotten back to it.  I need to.  It might be something to do at lunch.  I am also working on a vest,  the back is just about done.  I am thinking that I am not going to have enough yarn.  It is beast that I spun and I am going to have to get some more.   Maybe I can get it done in time for Christmas.   We shall see.  Things are just going to get crazier.  
     Yesterday,  I had a follow up visit with the eye doctor for a retinal tear that she discovered 3 months ago.  She found that I had an occluded vessel in my right eye.  So off the the retinal specialist I went.   He took all kinds of pictures and injected dye.  He is not quiet sure what the couse might be.  High blood pressure is one theory.  So now I am off to the primary for a complete work up.   Then back to the specialist in 6 wks so we shall see what happens.
