Field Trip!!

While trying to figure out what type of yarn to use for Bobbi Bear, my mom reminded me of an alpaca farm near her. So, we have decided to go on a field trip and pet the pretties. And I’ll hopefully find some decently priced alpaca yarn to use for a small version of Bobbi Bear. Scheduling seems to be the issue right now. It might not be for a couple of weeks until we can go. I’m toying with the idea of whipping up an acrylic version just to get an idea of the amount of yarn I’ll need for my final alpaca bear.

On the car front, the dealership didn’t have any time to see it this week so it won’t go in until Tuesday. They said not to drive my car if possible, so I’m borrowing the Jeep (yet again) from Sue. It could be that I just need a new clutch or it could be as bad as a new transmission. Hopefully this will be covered under my warranty.

Last time we had started saving some money for a house, DH needed a new engine, now that we have about the same money saved up… my car is sick. So, if it isn’t covered by the warrany, I guess we’ll be okay. But at this rate, we’ll never have money to buy a house. But with the way housing prices are sky rocketing in the area, who knows if we’ll even be able to afford anything.
