Today we drove to John Day. The 70 miles up over the Strawberry Mts. are very enjoyable. Lots of ups and downs; two passes to go over. Winter driving could be dangerous. Lots of curves. Lots of great scenery. John Day is a quaint town. Mining history in the nearby Canyon City. We stopped at a couple of antique shops and the Grant County Museum. It's worth the $3.50 admission.
The best part of the day was the stop at Skeins, a knitting, spinning, weaving shop. Teresa recognized us when we walked in. She greeted us like old friends. We spent an hour in the shop talking about colors, yarns, weaving styles, and looms. R had to buy a book, of course. It's titled "Woolbur". Great children's book. Read it if you find it at the library or book store. Teresa remembered when R read this book out loud to her and me last year when we were there. We all smiled at that.
We left with $75 worth of yarn, books, and memories.
