Well dearies, it’s been 20 (yes, 20. t w e n t y. 10 + 10) years of wedded quasi-bliss for the Boar & Me.
Ann and Boar, sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g. First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes daughters in the baby carriage.
daily living,
short & sweet
some pickle festival pictures for you! That is my friend Flair on the left – isn’t she cute?! yay Flaire! We had a great time watching Flair shill for pickles. She’s a natural, I tell you. crazy Flair on the left crazy carrot on the right.
I also bought pumpkins – check out these beauties!
I have to make this quick since I want to get the house in order before I head to work – but not before I declare Ann Shayne is a genius! When I lamented being tivo-less and missing the first episode of The Office, Ann suggested I download it through I-tunes. take a moment and let that one sink in.
so simple, elegant and accurate.
here at Chez Swine, it’s all about the love
Look at the adorable magnet from my spinning friend Delia! so cute! please refrain from any comparisons – you know yellow isn’t my color! I love it Delia! ;)
I am working furiously on Icarus – progress is evident! I am in love with this yarn – can’t wait to wrap myself in it. I was speaking with Boar last night and telling him about welding wires and blocking lace. He says that Home Depot carries welding wires and so this weekend on what seems to be our weekly trek, we shall add those to the shopping list.
Continuing my social director theme from yesterday ……
- tonight on NBC is The Office. I love this show. It is right up there with Arrested Development. I was completely devastated to have missed the season premier last week when I was away in San Diego. Believe you me, I really tried to see it but we had a compulsory dinner to attend (it was a business trip afterall). And no, I don’t have Tivo. Or Io. I really don’t even understand what they do or mean. D#2 is also a fan, so she filled me in and that will have to do until I catch a rerun.
- mark your calendar, this Sunday (10/1) is Greenlawn’s Annual Pickle Festival! Here are the details:

I love pickles! I will have to be very careful not to get pickle juice all over Icarus.
how about a nice cold one?
I got some good spinning done yesterday. I thought I had better concentrate my energies on getting some twist into all of this roving I have before it’s time for Rhinebeck!
So anyway, I keep my wheel in our basement. When we bought the house, we had A Very Brady Basement, all bright orange and brown. Boar and I refinished it a few years ago. New paneling, floors etc. and it is really nice down there now. There is a bit of a mini kitchen and Boar has his beer on tap. His keg is very close to my wheel. As these things often go, my craft starts to take over.
I hope you can tell that I am only guilty of keg proximity – I did not drink and get behind the wheel!
fyi – Boar has a collection of beer paraphanalia – he does not have Shlitz on tap. That is an antique tap handle. There’s Killian’s in there at the moment!
