Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m always happy to have new readers and commenters. That yarn you asked about, the undyed baby alpaca laceweight from Plymouth… ’soft’ doesn’t do it justice!

Of course, about the only time I DO clean is when a visit is imminent so maybe this is the kick in the butt you need and then won’t clean until February. Whatever works for you (just don’t think any guests will be judgmental or offended if your home is obviously lived in. Mattress pads for futons are always a good idea, though.)

And speaking of fun –

OLD GOATS

A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland. As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat’s milk was used. She showed the group a lively hillside where many goats were grazing. “These,” she explained, “are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce.” She then asked, “What do you do in America with your old goats?” A spry old gentleman answered, “They send us on bus tours.”
