…. well, er, more like up and panning and tilting!  Hannah hopped over to St. Croix from St. Thomas to install the webcam she got us for Christmas!  It’s great to have the view again.  You can go too:

Hannah is also enjoying a visit to the AgraFest - or more commonly - Ag Fair.  It’s like a County Fair without the rides.  It’s big for the islands - People from all the West Indies islands come to display or have booths - not just Ag related stuff - teachers and schools profiling their special programs or student projects, farms - commercial - with goods and methodologies.  Local people who make hot sauces, bbq sauces, jams and jellies - many for sale.  And they have devoted followings - Hannah was in Craig and Sally’s on St. Thomas and mentioning that she was coming over for the AgFair and was promptly given money and specific “orders” for certain jams and hot sauces from people sitting at the bar!  Ted and I have not attended yet…  Never seem to be there in February.  Wish I were there…

It’s very WINDY here in Los Osos today - and the skies to the north are very dark.  Supposed to rain a lot coastally - with the Sierra’s getting up to 3 feet of snow from this storm today or tonight.

Circa?  … 1962 maybe? I wonder if Deb remembers having this picture taken.  You can just barely make out that she’s got some big lady shoes on her feet!

February 2009 - January went by in an Arizona blur!  We deserted poor Nim (who has Jim and Shera wrapped well around his left front dew-claw) and took Bekka along with us for the marathon install and startup of the 1st TCSA Excitation Unit at Glen Canyon Dam.  All went really well - hard work all around - success!

I’m back in the office.  Catching up and moving on.  I have one of the “wristies” finished and am well into the 2nd - I did little knitting in January.  My loom is still awaiting me.  I’m thinking instead of a twill weave - I will use some of the stuff that I got from Kathy and make a mixed media tabby weave shawl.  I am intrigued with using different fibers in the same piece - yet have not much experience in doing such for figuring out drape and feel, etc.  Well - still looking at the colors and touching…  No set plans yet.
