Z is for zoomin' through the alphabet

Well, it's been a fun little exercise (for me, at least!) to stretch my brain and use the alphabet to inspire titles and topics. I wanted to finish the alphabet before leaving tomorrow for Mexico, because between the trip, having company here upon my return, and going to the Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene two days after our company leaves, the rest of my month is going to be craZy! So don't worry if you don't see any new posts for awhile; I'll catch you up on my "adventures" eventually (whether you want to be caught up or not!). Oh, and don't ya'll go posting too much while I'm gone, either, or I'll never catch up on all YOUR adventures!

For now, I will leave you with some photos of friends to warm the cockles of your heart. (I know that hearts have cockles, because all of you who read and comment on and off my blog have made mine coZily warm many times. I've thanked you before; I'm thanking you again. And I'm looking forward to getting to meet some of you for the very first time at Black Sheep! In the meantime, I'm off to enjoy some quality time with two very dear friends - my mom and my sister.)Yes, Brava (on the right, with Valentine and Bella) has joined her flock again - for good! Her energy and strength have increased, and the boys aren't hassling her much. She's showing a fine patina of soft, new wool as well. She thanks you for all your prayers and well wishes.Finally, these two friends, beautiful Blanche and Bevin, are SOLD! They will be flying to Alaska later this month, courtesy of Continental Airlines and Silveraurora Shetland Sheep. Thanks, Suzanne!

That's it for now at . . .
