Traveling food

Being "Traveling Silk Merchants", we are sometimes on the road for long stretches of time. This trip takes us to New Mexico, down into Texas for 2 shows, then up to Kansas before we head for home. Once you get East of the Pecos organic, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free food is in short supply so I have learned to dehydrate to make good tasting food for our traveling. Packed in the 2 side bins of the truck is enough food to last us 5 weeks except for fresh veggies we will pick up along the way. Well, except for fish and chips and oatmeal stout beer at our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque .

Gearing Up

Tuesday next, RedFish leaves on a 5 week selling trip. Between now and then it will be a test to see just how much yarn we can stuff into a pickup truck. Stay tuned as we hit the trail again.

Vogue Live!

Today was busy, busy, busy. There was a continual fashion show today, knitwear from Vogue designers but I didn't have time to take photos.

Vogue Live

Neither rain, snow or 55 mile per hour speed limits will keep us from selling yarn at Vogue Live! in Seattle. What a trip!! First off the top of my head is the fact that LA to Seattle is not a two day trip unless you want to drive 12 hours a day, which I don't but I did. Second the pass above Seattle is 3500 foot, snow level was 3000, I live at 3000 foot, we don't have snow, we don't even get rain. AND, way too green here, way too many trees. Trips away from the desert disturb my gamma rays. Tomorrow will be better, we get to play with yarn.

On the road to Vogue Live, Seattle

The Hi-Lo Motel and Cafe in Weed, CA is one of our favorite breakfast places and it's just a little over half way to Seattle (610 miles) so here we are pooped but ready to sleep so we can eat breakfast. Sorry, no time to take photos, but I can say the Western Red Buds are in full bloom and Mt. Shasta is snow covered.
