When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Has it really been two weeks?

It appears so…

I’ve been too busy the past two weeks to even think about the blog. Even my days off have been wrapped up in in prior commitments and work that just keeps getting put off.

Yesterday was a scheduled fun day and I made the most of it. I signed up for a photo excursion on the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad. Can you imagine a whole day taking pictures of a single train?

The morning started with a 4am alarm and didn’t finish until I climbed into bed at nearly 11pm. More than 70 pictures (I promise I won’t share *all* of them) and a chance to ride in the cab of the steam engine.

I’m 60 years old and I’m falling in love with steam…

I’ll see if I can keep posting intervals under two weeks….

Love it! We found a “working” railroad museum in Chattanooga, TN. However, the train ride was only a few miles and back. (Yes, I knit on the train, and yes, DH took pictures to document.) The whole operation was run by volunteers, much like your sawmill.

Lucky you! Great picture, too!
