Rain is on the way. We spent the afternoon soaking up sun.
yarn: (1) a continuous strand of twisted fibers used in weaving or knitting, (2) a narrative of adventures.
The Man is cruising the California Delta and is at a City dock near Downtown Petaluma.
Yesterday he passed under two bridges on the Petaluma River that needed to be raised for him and another vessel.
Today he walked around Downtown Petaluma and told me I would like the town.
He visited the Fiber Circle Studio and received permission to take pics for me.
The Man said he told them I have all the same tools and equipment including a small loom similar to theirs. They asked him if I wanted to sell any of it. Haha
He wanted to impress them with his fiber arts knowledge (from listening to me go on and on) but couldn't come up with anything at the time. When he told me his story he said "I should have said Niddy-Noddy".
We topped off his fun day visiting Petaluma by ordering a Chicago-style deep dish pizza from Old Chicago Pizza. (I placed the order online and The Man picked it up, hence the "We"). It looked delicious.

The Man took the train back to the Bay Area today.
The Amtrak Attendant would not allow me to take a peek onboard but he did point out the Man's room.
The Man took a photo. He directed me to stand next to the tree, "No, not that tree, yeah, that one", so that we could both be in the pic.
Later, I asked The Man to show me his room so we Face-timed. (Something we never do.)

Dinner in the Dining Car
It sure beats Coach Class.
Mingo and Asho Glasspin Spindle
MingoAsho Etsy: BUDDING SPRING is an unusual Glasspin. Her shaft is beautiful cherry, with multiple colored hardwood accents. She weighs 1.85 ounces and is about 11 inches long and she spins smooth as silk. Mingo has burned a tiny fern with flowers and vines on her shaft. Her focal is transparent turquoise with silvery opal turquoise dichroic specks with colorful floating buds. A tiny glass bowl is included . Enjoy.
The Man rode the train home on Sunday. Nell is still in San Francisco Bay and he will be heading back to her soon.
While he's home he has been working through his and my Honey-Do-List.
Today we drove south to Ventura to pick up his truck. We decided to rent a vehicle one-way so we could drive back and forth together. There is a small Enterprise office in Atascadero just a few miles away. We reserved a Compact and received a free upgrade for a very nice truck - leather seats, quiet, and comfortable. A beauty.
We had to wait for Big Buck to finish drinking at the trough so he didn't scratch the truck.
We were a little sad to say goodbye to the rental as we transferred our things to the 2001 Dodge Ram.
