So, the week (and my vacation) ended with a trip to Howard County, MD and the Wool & Sheep show. It was quite a sight I can assure you all. Mom enjoyed barn after barn of wool porn, while I amused myself with some serious people watching. We had decided that the place would be full of old hippies (did not disappoint) and various other characters. I'll let mom fill in the blanks here, I just wanted to get some pictures up on the blog so you can all see the fun we had. Seriously, it was a hoot! The first picture below shows some of the stars of the show....
The place was mobbed for most of the weekend, the picture below doesn't show it clearly, but it was elbow to elbow down the mid-way. One of the highlights of the show was the Sheep Dog exhibition. It is amazing how smart those dogs are. Of course Auntie Char has known this forever. If only Cleo would behave as well. The pic below is kind of far away, but you get the idea.
There was excellent music too! Notice the Golden in the band!
After awhile all we could do was just stop, drop and knit (well, mom did anyway) I learned more than I probably needed to know about the craft, but it was interesting. Especially the machines and tools that are used. Of course the most fun for me, was watching the street circus of people. In the end, a cool shady spot under a tree was the best place to just sit and observe as mom found out below. 
That's all I have for now, Mom will jump in here I'm sure with her comments. Meanwhile, where are those NASCAR pictures???
