Important Note: This is another series of blog posts where, when the events described within were transpiring, we did not take notes, and so here I am, thousands of years later, attempting to give context to images that, while able to trigger fragments of memories, act as an incomplete picture of the story. Sure enough, we should have been tending to these things without fail, but little did we understand the value of revisiting milestones later in life. And so, without that proverbial further ado, here we go into a murky past.

We’re on a bird, we’re in a plane, nope, we are self-powered flying humans flapping our arms to travel to places far away.

Is this a deja vu? It might be; seems like we were just recently here at the Steak & Catfish Barn off Interstate 35 north of Oklahoma City.

Ah, it all makes sense now with the flying and deja vu; we are already back in Harveyville, Kansas, for the spring session of Yarn School hosted by Nikol Lohr. Learn more and attend one of these great workshops by visiting The Harveyville Project.

It was just seven months ago that we were here in this tiny corner of the middle of America, but as Caroline is still learning the art and craft of making yarn, we felt that it wouldn’t hurt to try advancing those skills with a return visit.

It all feels so familiar: the gym, the social studies classroom we stayed at back in September, some of the instructors, Nikol’s husband Ron, and a small town that offers the sense that we are somewhere authentic and appropriate for such an endeavor.

On the left is Sarah Ivy Kincaid, and on the right is Adrian Bizilia; they are two of the instructors who will hopefully advance Caroline’s skills over the next few days. Adrian is still running her “Hello Yarn” fiber club, which allows spinners to subscribe to monthly packages of scrumptious roving dyed in lovely colors. As for me, I’m back for photos of the surrounding area and some documentation of what the wife will be doing here.
