Pictures, Bikes, Visitors

First, the big computer is finally hooked up to the internet again, so I can post pictures of my looms I was talking about last week. Here ya go:

This is the LeClerc "Dorothy" set up for a weaving demo at the 2007 Farm Arts Festival at Rural Resources in Greene Co.




And here is the Kromski "Harp" rigid heddle, naked (unwarped). That's a stick shuttle laying inside of it.








Second on the agenda - DH and I bought bikes yesterday at WalMart. They're both 26" mountain bikes, though not hard-core. Mine is a 7-speed; DH's is 18-speed only because he couldn't find a 7-speed that he liked. There was a 29", 24-speed bike there. That sounds like it's for a serious, long-haul, road biker. We'll stick to the local parks and maybe school tracks, thank you.

We'll have a busy February. First one BIL is coming to visit and check on his property here, about 5 miles from us. He'll stay with us while he's here. Then DD's ex and his mother are coming for DGD's birthday. Then sister and BIL (a different one, of course) will be here to check on THEIR property, about 10 miles from us in a different direction. They'll also stay with us. And now that DD is working second shift, DGD is staying with us during the week so we can get her to and from school. Should be interesting. At least ex-SIL and mom will be staying at a motel.
