A Good Yarn

My beloved hubs, takes the only laptop to school, and I cannot figure out how to do the blog on my Ipad. It has a tendency to stay in Spanish. Lucky for me, after six years of Spanish, I can say Hello and Goodbye!!!
   We are staying in the area of L'Eixample in Barcelona, and when you are in a new area, ( or downtown Atlanta) you explore.
  I like to find the pharmacy first, child of the sixties, we may have been medicated.
  There is a Big Green Cross on every corner, and I was in need of powder. ( I do not like to sweat)
  The lovely lady doctor, I think medical doctors are the pharmacist, they treat you!! could not understand me, so I went into my silent acting chops! Shaking salt move, on my arm, and rubbing it in!. She said, "Come."
  Talc powder is the same as in our language, the only difference is theirs smells a tad like weed!!
  She rang me up, no helpers in store, and I may have said Namaste, I meant to say Gracias!!!
     Next Grocery store and market locations, along with bakery and florist shop. Very daily, routine of shopping. You have to be carrying a loaf of hard bread, that will break your teeth, at all times.
    I asked my local baker, if they had any soft bread!! She walked away. I figured with enough olive oil and rubbed tomato, the bread will soften!! Fruit and Vegetables are beautiful, and fish and meat counters, not so cute!! I can not look at things with eyes and teeth, and who am I kidding, I am not cooking!! I make a salad at night, and we celebrate the food from the earth!! Our lunch in Barcelona is the meal of the day.
  Bus, schedules, train schedules, taxi cab friends ( yes I like to keep good taxi peoples cards) I'm older, I don't have time for meeting new taxi cab drivers!! I surround myself with good people.
  Beauty parlors, nail salons, I do have a little down time! found!!
  Churches, museums, restaurants and the Mediterranean, found and found.
    A surprise, which is awesome, a yarn store. I DO NOT NOT KNIT!! It was just so beautiful, and they looked like a party was going on. I bought two big balls of yarn and a needle, I always try to crochet. I just like touching yarn, and material, tactile thing!! Iam going to sit on a bench, in a park, and pretend to knit!! and drink tons of coffee, its a beautiful thing.
  Another very delightful surprise was our apartment windows, floor to ceiling across the front, facing a courtyard. Also facing, many other eight story apartment building windows. It is Rear Window, at its finest. I love people hanging their clothes out on the line, connected to their balcony or window. I enjoy seeing the lights come on and off in the morning and night, it is like Christmas. I try not to Really look, but I have seen, people having supper. Yesterday a lady, sang opera on her balcony for hours, it was fantastic. I have posted pictures of this, hope you get a chance to see them. The art of my courtyard, just a huge plus.
  Bill, hubs, goes into work early, and I have a couple of hours of quiet, to "Just Be"
  Before the rest of the world comes to their senses.
  I hope you find your magic courtyard, wherever you are and squeeze our some, "Just Be" time.
  And if you tell a good yarn, or buy some yarn, I promise you something wonderful happens.
  Getting ready to go to some very giant Gaudi church, La Sagrada Familia .
  Bob NEWHART, my darling, just asked me, if my hair was ready for church??? Please..Jesus knows what I look like, and Gaudi doesn't care!!Guess I better go look.
  Until later
