Le Tour-ish?

Well, it is that time of year, so I have been spinning, but I am not challenging myself in the tradition of Le Tour de Fleece.  I am participating in the way that a member of Team Crankypants does, in that, if I can convince myself it counts, it counts.  I'm spinning Malabrigo Nube in the Plomo colorway.  Note the pin and Labbit, both prizes from Mochimochiland.  I bought the fiber from the grand re-opening/relocation of the lys.  The first bobbin of singles is done, and I am making nice progress on the second.  

A few days into the Tour, we were off touring a different part of the country, exploring possibilities for Taki's probable move.  We checked out possible locations in the area, work things, and just generally got a feel for the area.  It has a lot of potential, plenty to do and see right there, and only a short drive for other adventures.  Three hours from the beach, three hours from the mountains--that's how one person summed up the location.  It was a good trip; we made a lot of progress, got answers, settled some uncertainties, and enjoyed our time away.  As nice as it was, it is good to be home.
