Our Day Trip

It was an adventure yesterday. We drove and drove and drove some more to see this farm with the spinning wheels and then on to a car dealership to see a truck. We couldn't pick items any further away and drove to see them and back by bed time. It was fun! Hubby and I don't always get to spend a lot of time together and being locked in the car all day is a great way to spend time together. Our honeymoon was like that... 2 weeks of driving and camping. So, yesterday we (OK, I did most of the chatting) chatted and laughed.
Our first stop was for my wheel. The place was crazy! These two guys own the farm and have decided to take their business from a little store to ebay. The store is so packed with fiber that is being sold to getting ready to put on ebay. There was no room to demo the wheels there, so after choosing what I wanted to try we hauled them over to the house. The house was just as packed! They are taking their ebay business very seriously! The first wheel I tried was a Kromski Symphony. I loved the look of it, and it was amazing to spin on!!! The next wheel and the only other one I wanted to try after that was the Kromski Prelude. Oh, I didn't like that at all!!! It didn't take me that long to tell him what I wanted. This guy was full of stories. He told us how he had lost his arm due to a table saw accident. Watching him spin was really cool. He does this one handed way and uses the part of his other arm to just lay the wool over. It was cool to watch him work. He told us about a women who spent the whole day testing out wheels and then told him she wanted to buy a different one off ebay. I asked him if instead of the 2 lbs. of wool if I could have extra bobbins. That was not a problem! He put the order in as we were leaving and said it will take 3 days to get here once they process the order! YEAH!!! I can't wait!
Then we got back in the truck to drive some more to this car dealership to see a truck that Hubby wanted to test drive. The salesman that we got was new and young, so he didn't hassle us. Hubby only wanted to test drive the one at this place and he loved it. We drove it all around and after he decided that he wanted it. So, we have to clean out his truck so when we get his new car we can trade in the truck. I know he feels sad about saying good bye to his truck. He's had it a long time and she's been so good to him. He put a ton of miles on it driving to see me in college and to our hometown to see his parents. It's been a great truck for him and it's sad to see it go. I'm so use to listening for it when he comes home that now I'm going to have to get use to a new sound. It will be missed. It has been a great truck!!
So, we each got a toy yesterday but neither of us have a new toy to play with yet. He gets his new car next week, and my wheel hopefully will be here by this weekend (OK, wishful thinking!) ^_^
