A VW Vanagon, Sam, Danielle and Igor

Saturday evening Jack and I went for a bike ride. We rode down to a bridge that runs over a creek and then went on through the little hamlet. On our way back to the farmstead on Route 9, we heard a large buzz, and then we looked to our side and saw a green vanagon pass.

I said, "You think it's those kids?"

Jack exclaimed, "Arizona plate, damn right!"

He flailed his arms and the brake lights beamed. Igor popped out and offered his hand. Jack skitched a ride back to the farm and I took the alternate tree covered path. 

On Sunday we daytripped up the Northway to Keene Valley. We found a mountain to climb and a placid lake to swim. Scrabble we played, and Ed we found on Monday at Grand Union. Longboarding down fresh paved cement, Danielle had a spill and proved her girth. Sing-a-longs and bean dinner. 

Arizona, you're alright with me.

Farewell & goodbye drifting Leaf...

A little talk about Bandin'

Hello Hello... I felt a post might be appropriate today. It's been beautiful outside, so the thread and sunshine have been battling. Luckily, they decided to weave together this afternoon. Needle and thread in hand and the sun came shining through the windows, we went to bandin'. So as to say, new Nimble Bands are being invented daily and will be on display for your eyes to mirar before you can make a snap betwixt your thumb and index. 

On the contrary to factorizing, I also enjoy custom bands as well. So, don't be shy about queries. Even if you're far far away. 

Happy sailing to you all.

Freedom... It's a fine thing...

The red polyester, knit, cotton blend of fabric used to
craft this simply perfect band was abandoned in NYC's
Garment District...
Lucky you... Lucky you... Red looks true on humans.
