Happy New Year!
I hope that all of you had a wonderful year and looking forward to an even better year to come!
Goals and dreams are all awaiting us in the new year!

Sharper Edge

I spent Sunday morning after Church edging the curbs. It was a huge job, as I don't think it had been done on the west side - for a very long time.

Here are the end results. Now if only the city would fix the streets so I didn't have to mow them too!

Short Visit - but fun

Wedding Was Wonderful!

Susan and Bryan were wed July 4, in Amarillo, Tx. Everything was wonderful, the couple put alot of thought and planning into the event. Just the preparation for the reception was overwhelming, the transformation of the hall was unbelievable.

Those of you who were able to make it to Texas, hopefully had a great time and those of you who were unable to join us - you were missed!

Attached a few photos.... but check out Red Frame Photography Blog - July 5 entry, their photographer Amanda posted some awesome photos!

My favorite little guy....

18 months and hopefully able to see him this coming weekend....

Practice Makes Perfect..... or

I WAS working on this really cool round blanket named Girasole.... very intricate and fun to do BUT my circular needles are not long enough and when they came apart, the stitches "sprung free". I am getting very good at this pattern as I have attempted it 4 times....yes 4 starts and up to Pattern D in directions each and every time. Now I'm not really slow, just didn't have funds to buy the 50 inch extension I needed. I have decided to look for a THIRD job in order to afford it but have vowed I WILL COMPLETE the pattern, only it looks like it will be in a different color and at a later date. Meanwhile I am working on ANOTHER pattern, and so far knock on wood and cross my fingers it's going much better.

Kelli's Back!

Kelli has returned to work for the summer. She had been attending college in Moberly, MO and found her way back to Iowa. Many of you know Kelli as "the best page" ( her own words)....
So if you stop by the Root Cellar and notice it is not quiet as previously, you'll probably find Kelli at the desk.
No seriously, she is awesome, and not at all intimidated by some of our patrons, so all is well.
Welcome Back Kelli - Summer has arrived!
