Le Grand Depart

 

At 6:30 am ET the riders take off from Lille France to begin this year's Tour. I spent yesterday cleaning up my wheels and taking stock of what I need to finish up.



Ditto for my spindles. The only time they see the light of day anymore is during the Tour. I've got several of them with projects still in progress from last year. 





There was a casualty. My drum carder is all out of whack. The poly cord that turns the wheels wasn't working and when I tried to re-align it, the whole thing went wonky on me. I've got the directions to take it apart and put it back together correctly but I need the time to do it. It's been a very busy few days.




Somebody and his baby brother came to spend the day yesterday while The Mister and SIL played golf. We painted until it was time to do other things on the table.




At three years old he's becoming a master crab picker. Just like his mama.

    I hope the hills don't cause you any trouble and you get to wear the yellow jersey. Your partner in crime yesterday is adorable!

    I am not a spinner but I have enjoyed watching the Tour. Sadly it isn’t so easy now that they have gone to a premium channel. Hope you get that carder fixed.

    Fun times ahead with the wheels! I'm so happy that you're getting so much time together with the grands. Memories are being made.
    Blessings and hugs,
