Chaparral Boat Dealer Meeting

Yes, down in sunny (hot!!!) FL for Bald Man's annual Chaparral dealer meeting.



And... well... its boring! Good things about it though... the hotel is beautiful and we have a great view! I get to Internet shop and the Bald Man doesn't say anything about it... because you know, I have nothing else to do when he's in meetings! Not that he says much.. but sometimes I do get a little carried away on Ebay!!





Also we got to ride in Chaparral's new 40 ft yacht... which was super nice!!! The boat pic above is one of their smaller models but its still sharp... they really do make the most beautiful boats.




The pic of us above is the first night here.. we cleared out early from dinner because there was nothing I would eat... not even salad!!! We went to a place called Blu Sushi... very trendy but still really good.



Our second night was more eventful... here I am.. very happy at the dinner party because the Bald Man has already feed me else where! lol!

Can u tell I don't care for the food they serve???? Its extremly unhealthy!! yuck!




Here below are some good ol' boys from IN.... The blond standing is Sam and the guy sitting down is his dad, Rick...

Now Rick was very upset because they closed the open bar when the Chap owner did his announcement things... so Rick decided he would just go up to the bar and 'take' some beer... I mean.. Its not like its stealing cause it was free anyways.. there just wasn't anyone there to wait on you while the bar was closed...

Anyways.. here's the fun part.... he 'took' non alcoholic beer by mistake!! lol!!!!! I think he drank 2 before he noticed what it was!!
Rick kept us laughing ALL evening!!! I gotta say Thank goodness for him because these dinner 'parties' are mighty dull.






Now here are the ya-hoo's that sat at our table that night...

now I'm not saying they were rude...
I am saying they were gross and rude!





I have never in my life seen people talk while shoving their months full of food at such an amazing speed.... and completely inappropiate conversations that everyone at the table could hear...
AND... one of them actually went up to the dessert bar.. filled his plant full of cakes and pies... then took his folk and directly stabbed at more cakes and carried them back on his folk... gross!
Manners anyone????

Happy Days & Hard Work!

Hope everyone had a fabulous New Years Eve! We had a very nice one... got all dressed up and went to the 5 course dinner event at Chez Liberty... SO GOOD! I even tried a little dish with 'sweetbreads' and had NO ideal what they were... but it was so good after I found out what they were I didn't even care! Now how many people out there know what they are??? Was I alone at not knowing??? Then we Had a bottle of bubbles... And then, I admit, came home at 11 and went to bed! I was asleep before 12!! and it makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy ! haha !! But who cares! I was all dressed up in a dress that took me 3 weeks to make with a crochet bolero that took like a month!I love wearing this dress and rarely have an occasion for it.... besides I had to get up early the next morning... And face things like this...... at our farm to be.... Now this is actually Sunday when my wonderful parents and niece Brittany stopped by to help.. but the day before it was just me and the...

Wrestling Bigg'n... or Brian's BIG match up!

Well yesterday Brian had a wrestling meet and actually wrestled on Varsity... It started at 5:30 way over in Maryville ... we got there at 6 but he still weighed in and everything was fine. However,,,, we sat for an hour and half before he wrestled... there were 4 teams there! Then it was a forfeit... way to weigh the right amount son! The second match up was in about another hour and half with a kid who had about 50 lbs on Brian... he was a bigg'n !!! 205! Brian is 151. And to the Bald Man and my surprise... Brian was fierce! Aggressive, Quick! I usually take a pic.. but I was so shocked I forgot to! Now once Bigg'n maneuvered Brian in a pin position there was no getting out for him and Bigg'n won. But I'm still super proud of him for fighting so hard and aggressive.

Work in Progress Wednesday: Natural Dyeing, organization and new fleece!

Ok! Well I had so much fun posting yesterday's theme post I decided to do one today too! Organization is a big deal for me. I live in a small house but I have big crafty area needs!  I need areas to dye , to store fiber, yarn , to blend fibers and card, to spin, to occasionally sew, to make and store soaps .. and on and on!  Dyeing is done now on my back porch and green house.  I have a stove, stainless steel work table , shelving and screens. Picking and drying fleece also takes place there. Solar dyeing saves time and energy too! Only certain plants will successfully dye this way though. This works well! Gets the dyeing components out of my house kitchen! And gives me a large area to spread out and do several things at once. Organizing work in progress projects has been a challenge until now! No fiber person I know only has one project going at a time. It can get messy and confusing! I try to limit myself to 4 crochet ( or knitting) projects at once. I come up with this...
