This week’s photo challenge is Texture. I went to The World’s Most Famous Beach for our family beach weekend. Sand, surf, the roar of traffic up and down A1A outside the beach-front hotels, hugs from big and little ones, crisp hotel sheets on sun-exposed skin, seafood restaurants, and of course, a yarn crawl. I had to see what the local yarn shop The Ball of Yarn had to offer.
The Mandarin Petit and Kashmir yarns are from their Swedish import rack, although they have a flag of Norway on their labels. The shop proprietor told me that they love Kraemer brand yarns, which are spun in America and were used in the Ralph Lauren knitted apparel worn by our Winter Olympics competitors. Isn’t it a small world after all?Yarn Crawl Texture: My Take on Weekly Photo Challenge

Whoa. Hang on a sec. What’s the world’s most famous beach???
Daytona!
So that is where you were when I looked about for you today at church! You missed some excellent talks today – I was sandwiched between two fabulous speakers. But I did an ok job but wasn’t the meat in the sandwich by a long shot – maybe a light layer of jelly. Have you shaken the sand from your feet and returned home?
Yep!
