Debbie, spinning at the window

There is nothing quite as relaxing as the quiet whirl of a spinning wheel in action. It’s a treat to go to the farm and see Debbiw working her magic. Debbie can spin thoughtlessly while carrying on a conversation or looking at the world out the window.
At the farm, they spin the wool shorn from their own sheep.
As a bonus, the last image shows Debbie using her drop spindle. It was hand made just for her and is simply gorgeous.

If you are lucky and didn’t turn out to be a terrible parent, you are rewarded by having a kid that will grow up into a fantastic adult. My son, Josh, is a perfect example. I am very proud of him and the person he has become. He is kind, generous, thoughtful, adventurous, fearless (except for that heights thing), and for all of you young ladies out there, he is single as well.

For me, the best part is that he is wonderful to be around. We might be just hanging out, eating lunch at Willy’s, or out for a day of shooting. He is a good conversationalist and is comfortable talking to people.

Yeah, I am really proud of him.

You remember that old bird that owned that haberdashery over on east 43rd? His name was Murray. I ran into his son, Joey, down at The Strand. Said his dad finally retired, sold the place, and moved to Florida. Man, that's the way I want to go…flush in Florida.
