I was downstairs laboring away at getting some fiber carded up to spin at the NAFD event I'm joining tomorrow (the SECAB Alpaca Roundup in Colorado Springs, CO), when Michael came trotting down the stairs to admonish that I should be watching channel 10 (CBS, right?) for the David Letterman show because alpacas were going to be on. It turns out that AOBA just sent out an announcement that said to look for it.
So, I quickly flipped the channel from USA to watch David Letterman. I don't often watch Letterman anymore but I used to. I found it enjoyable, watching his interviews with the Sofia Vergara from Modern Family (great show!), among the others. I thought Shakira was eye-catching (certainly for the guys), but not so talented; give me Michael Grimm or Jackie Evancho's singing any day over that.
In the Colorado plains, our farm specializes in raising quality huacaya ("teddy bear")and suri ("dread locks") alpacas in all colors for show and fiber! Along with our alpacas, we offer our knowledge, great service, and alpaca products.

Midnight Sky Fibers' Quotes
I'll be honest, I have yet had time to really peruse this blog and her offerings on her site. But, I was just befriended by Jenn Wisbeck of Midnight Sky Fibers. In fact on Facebook, she lists herself as its "Chief Executive Creator and Optimist"! Now, I found this so pleasantly funny, honest, and optimistic all in one! Aren't we all in our own companies, or at least in our own worlds? Here is someone who is optimistic (wow) as well as to the point and funny. Cool! Sometimes I find myself slipping into just plain sarcasm, which is not so cool.
And, beyond that, she took the time to actually display on her Facebook profile quotes that inspire her ....and they were unique, personal, and inspiring! Wow, what a concept. It seems to me, a person that does not truly know Jenn Wisbeck but is 'getting to know her through FB,' that she really knows who SHE IS. That is great!
And, that alone, just reading a bit of calm and centering, helped me feel calm and centered if only for that brief moment ;). So, here is homage to finding oneself and then succinctly posting it on Facebook!
Here are her two quotes that I want to steals as favorites of mine!

kids and alpacas....
I've been going through the pictures on my camera, downloading them onto my computer, and I came across these pictures that just brought a smile to my face...
Our youngest, just 2 1/2 years old, was so happy and enthralled by the new crias. Despite our admonishments he kept trying to touch them. But, we weren't too worried, since it really seemed that the crias were treating him as another 'kid' -- darting away from his touch, but yet coming back for more!
So, I remember that the kids enjoy the alpacas and allow them time together. They get used to each other, and it widens both their horizons.... Happy kids, and happy alpacas :).

"Yummy" Fiber Sandwich!
I have joined that group of people that offered to me a share of a Fiber Sandwich. After initial reservation, I accepted.
"What?" you say. No, it's not really food, but it is creative food for the soul. Especially if you love texture and colors, and don't mind trying new things. And you would like to try some art yarn.
No two Fiber Sandwiches are the same, since it is composed of the wool / fibers submitted by each participant in the group.
