I'm watching the awards ceremony for the Tour de France. It was quite a race this year. I'm not so sure about the umbrella skirts of the polka dot girls. Cavendish was awesome at the last. He just catapults out of nowhere to win. There's Andy--he's an awesome rider. He really rode with class throughout the race. Although I wanted Andy to win, Contordor came through with that fantastic time trial yesterday and increased his win time to 39 seconds. He is champion this year, but next year should be even better!
Late last night I dove into the fiber stash and found some yellow/ dark brown fiber to spin for the last day of the Tour de Fleece. Appropriately it's the colors of bees and sunflowers.
Now that the Tour de Fleece and the Tour de France are done, I decided to have a little photo session with the gang and the finished yarn. Eevee wanted to be in the photo, too.
On this day in 1976, I married Jim. We'd known each other since second grade. Looking at the photos of us right after the ceremony is amazing. I remember it so well. Things were a blur because I didn't wear my glasses! Right before Pop escorted me down the aisle, he asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. I said yes, but remember going over in my mind, "WHAT the heck am I doing?" Little did we know in less than a year we would leave Ohio for south Alabama, and within two years we would be in Germany. We were married 14 years before Ben was born, and would live in Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, before settling in Minnesota. It's been an amazing journey so far and I look forward to the next 34 years!
