The Sheep Barn: July 2014

http://thesheepbarn.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Fair week will be off and running starting tomorrow morning. The day before the fair opens all of the animals come to the fairgrounds. Before they can be admitted to the barns all of our local veterinarians examine them for signs of contagious diseases. In sheep that can included foot rot, sore mouth and keds (sheep lice). A big thanks to all of these vets that volunteer their time at the fair every year. (The sheep would especially like to thank Dr. Robert Moody! August 4-7, 2016.

Mabel's Wish: low tide ~

http://mabelswish.blogspot.com/2010/07/low-tide.html

Sunday, July 11, 2010. Like a year ago, Steve and I went to Point Whitehorn Reserve to walk on the beach and see the sights. It is surprising how things are different year to year. Today the water was crystal clear and a large area of lovely solid sandy beach was perfect for walking. We were pretty much alone on the beach for most of the time it was lovely. We took our shoes off and enjoyed the sand. Such contrast between the grey of the sand and the purple of the starfish. July 12, 2010 at 10:11 PM.

Mabel's Wish: 45 ~ what an odd number?

http://mabelswish.blogspot.com/2010/05/45-what-odd-number.html

Friday, May 14, 2010. 45 what an odd number? How the hell did that happen? 160; How can one feel smarter, slower, wittier, mellower, all at once? I think the answer is 45. My life is summed up in the birthday card doodle from my husband:. I’m weaving tapestry (or learning);. The cat is sleeping in his “cat-bowl” bed;. My dad is sitting in the hospital next to my mom laying in bed (last weekend);. And Steve is coming home after his swing shift, calling out, “I’m home.”. Cat in cat bowl: Fine. By hand tatt...

Mabel's Wish: October 2009

http://mabelswish.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 22, 2009. Ode to my future. As I go through the day, I think about my hands constantly. It has become a nervous habit, rubbing my sore knuckles. I still pop and snap them all day long, but the affected area has nothing to do with cracking knuckles. It’s age. It’s use. It’s arthritis. You can’t help but notice that Olivia hid her hands. They were always tucked under in a way to not show the arthritis that had settled in her joints. In most posed photos she has her hand hidden from view.

Mabel's Wish: bear ~

http://mabelswish.blogspot.com/2010/06/bear.html

Sunday, June 6, 2010. Gave this little bear tapestry to my boss (Connie) who is retiring in 12 days.  She collects Southwestern type bears. So after the workshop with Sarah Swett, I had to weave a little bear for her gift.  I placed it in a narrow framed shadow box which made it impossible to take a photo of it. So below is the bear out of the box. June 7, 2010 at 9:35 PM. Hi Miss Julie - so sorry to hear that your mom had a stroke - sounds like she is doing well - give her my best wishes! To be like gra...
