A Spontaneous Trip














I played hooky today. Amy called me up today and said "Do you want to go to Driggs and go to the yarn shop and the bead store." I had planned to write all day and almost said no but then I thought oh why not. Driggs is on the back side of the Tetons, These are the Teton Mountains from a distance.















A closer up view.














This is my friend Amy holding this great skein of silk she bought.



















We also went to a bookstore called Dark Horse Books, it was really a nice store. I really like independent book stores. I bought this book as a gift for a friend.














I fell in love with this hat. It turned out the pattern for it doesn't exist. The owner had taken a hat pattern and revamped it. So I bought the original pattern and she gave me instructions on how to alter it like she did. I thought that was really nice.


















I found this yarn in the .99 bin originally 9.99 what a deal. I will use it as a gift for someone.

It was a really gorgeous day and a perfect way to take a day off. I am really glad I went.

Now that's what I call a productive day, sometimes the writing has to wait while you live your life Kate..

I'd be out enjoying it to..

An impromptu trip is called for once in awhile....and you did visit a book store so you were surrounded by words even if they weren't ones you wrote. See, I can always justify a day like this! What a bargain on that yarn!!
