Day 2 - Nothing we HAVE to do!

 June 28, 2026


An amazing day of rest! A late breakfast followed by time for me to do some studying and writing while Rick and Archie went fishing. 




I had the ability participate via Zoom in Around the Yarn World in 80 Minutes with Shelley Brander @KnitStars.  They are beginning their 11th season and the Artists are always amazing!



Rick grilled steak and potatoes For dinner …Yum! 



We also started a puzzle. It’s not very big, but will we get it done?  



French Silk pie for dessert and an evening of knitting before the sunset ❤️
