My New Toy
I have a new toy. It is called a kick spindle. I purchased mine from Heavenly Handspinning and is called the Calypso. I just could not figure out how to use a drop spindle but this is easy and fun.

Zappos, The Woolery, and the Pie Kitchen
I woke up trying to think of what to do yesterday. I wondered if The Woolery in Frankfort, KY, was the real spinning/weaving superstore . I had to check this out since Frankfort is only about 45 minutes from me.
As soon as I walked in the door, I had no doubt that this was the REAL Woolery. The fiber and spinning wheels are just amazing. Nancy took me into the shipping area so that I could see the new space, and yes this is an a nice size operation. It seems that the company has just moved to a larger space.
As I walked in, I saw a spinning class going on but I did not stick my head in.
My head would not stop spinning because of all the color and fiber goodness. I did purchase some fiber and two dvd's.
Nancy and Nancy R. told me that since I was in Louisville, I had to go to Zappos outlet store. Nancy got on the internet and got me the address so off I went. It turned out that Zappos was not far from the hotel I am staying at so this maybe a problem.
The parking lot was full and everyone seemed to have a bag full of shoes. I found my size, and then I saw why everyone was buying like crazy. The price is half off the lowest price on the box, however if there is a red sticker it is 60% off and a brown sticker is 70% off. Yes, I found a pair of shoes I liked for 60% off. May have to make another trip before I go home.
This morning, I went to My Favorite Muffin and Bagel Cafe for breakfast and decided to keep driving down the street to see what else could be in the area. I had no idea that the Homemade Ice Cream Pie Kitchen was not far from the hotel. It was 11am and the sign said they were open so I had to check it out.
If you see a whole pie and want a slice, they will slice it. I was good....almost. I got a slice of no sugar added apple pie, no sugar added cheese cake.....then I had to add a slice of butterscotch meringue pie to the order. I will try to just eat a little of the butterscotch meringue.
