Went to Denver

I really love this city! I met some great people and attended a seminar on real estate investing. I was so impressed with their concept of doing well while doing good and their commitment to the local communities. It was so energizing.

30 years ago, in May I was at Lowry AFB for training in Aviation electronics - I also went back there some years later to teach. This base is no more but my old home on Orange Court on Lowry has been remodeled into an upscale town home. It was fun to see that. And there is a Wings Museum and some lovely large homes built here - Nice golf course.

I visited 4 yarn shops - 2 in Denver, the Yarn Barn in Lawrence Kansas (a great one!) and the Quilt Company in Hays - has a nice yarn selection and friendly staff!

On the trip I made a ribbed hat for my son - too small, alas - worked on the Springtime in Paris socks - Frogged the first try - Way too big! New yarn and only did 60 stitches - still too large but should make nice house slippers for the DD - we went to Paris together so I think she will get a kick out of them!

Also started an Ice scraper mitt for my husband for next Christmas and plan on one for DS. These are from a GREAT book called "One Skein Wonders - 101 Yarn Shop Favorites" Lots of great unique ideas and quick gratification - good stash users too!

I am going to get up the courage to start a sweater for my son - a big project. Hope I can do it!
