Finally a moment to reflect!
by Jane Levene on 01/25/13We've gotten through the holidays, and went straight into the National Western Stock Show! From January 8-27, I've been attending the show each day, running the Natural Fibers booth. We (a wonderful core of volunteers-both sheep and alpaca people) have worked with the school tours teaching kids how to turn fiber into yarns. Its' been very entertaining, and a very special thank-you goes to the sweet brothers age 8 and 6, who loved learning to spin. When we were done, the older boy thanked me for being nice to kids, cuz' not everyone is nice to kids. I was so touched and told him that everyone should always be nice to everyone else. All the hard work and long days can be made worthwhile in the space of 5 minutes with such wonderful kids. We live in the best state with so many great shows to attend. Swing by for the final weekend if you have a chance! So for now, work hard and be nice-especially to kids! Take care, Jane
