Yep, the yarn in the grocery store-thing is awesome, ain't it? We got that here too and mind you, when I go grocery shopping, I can hardly ever resist taking some yarn with me too ;) It's not the best yarn though, but it's cheap and nice for small projects, isn't it?<BR/>My gosh, I so remember this terrible tunnel thing in Frankfurt Airport - I have a real phobia of tunnels, and this one with these horrible lighting (psychedelic indeed) sure made things worse. When I got through that thing, I felt like falling on my knees and kissing the ground. What a nightmare!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26231956.post-23675524713201075422007-05-14T21:10:00.000-07:002007-05-14T21:10:00.000-07:00Welcome back!!Sock yarn in the grocery store?That ...Welcome back!!<BR/>Sock yarn in the grocery store?<BR/>That would get my business.<BR/>There is a similar tunnel at the Detroit Metro international terminal.<BR/>Psychedelic!!Larjmarjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944577259055976703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26231956.post-68259204977613954802007-05-14T15:30:00.000-07:002007-05-14T15:30:00.000-07:00So glad you are home and had a great time!

Welcome back! Can't wait...Batty, you were missed! Welcome back! Can't wait to see the pictures of all your yarn.<BR/><BR/>That tunnel is awful, isn't it? Well, either awful or totally fascinating. I can't decide which.<BR/><BR/>You know, I see us in a cottage, too. Small and cozy is much more to our taste than large and showy in the Aspen kind of way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I guess any initial feelings of jealousy that I had soon gave way to a sort of bewilderment before realizing that something that seems really foreign to me is completely natural for someone else. It was an interesting little exercise in "peel away outer snarky layers and figure out what's really going on." But I digress. Completely. <BR/><BR/>Again, looking forward to seeing all the suitcases full of delicious yarn! You should definitely come back for the Wool/Textile/Fiber/Linnea Can't Translate German Festival in Munchen this September - which happens to coincide with a concert that The Police are giving...
