Strange Finds

After my crazy day at the Dr's, I called my college friend to tell her what was going on. We lived next door to each other our freshman year and have stayed friends ever since. She was one of my bride maids at my wedding and I was her matron of honor ("lady of honor" is what she called it) at her wedding. So, whenever anything big happens to us we call each other. So, after talking she says let's get together. "What should we do?" I ask. She had a great plan of heading out to small town America to see a true life black smith. She has always wanted to go see this smithy and he hubby has as much desire to do that as mine does to learn spinning wheel.
Well, she called them today to see if they are open tomorrow. They are and they said that down the road from them is an alpaca farm. Wooo-hoooo.... my fiber junkie self is going there! I'm excited about going because we always have fun together and I've never seen a black smith shop. It should be cool! ^_^ She said that this smitty like to work in Celtic knots and Celtic patterns. My college friend lived in Ireland so I know how much this means to her. She also knows her history of each kind of Celtic knots, so I know I will learn a lot from her! ^_^
