A Small World…
Filed under: General, Spinning A Yarn
Posted by: Terry & Susan @ 9:00 am

It truly is a small world!  I received an email from my brother-in-law & sister last week.  While at the family reunion, they went house shopping.  I’ve got to tell you - Orofino, Idaho (where my family came from) is a very small, rural town (pop. 3070).  It would be considered fairly remote by some folk’s standards (not by Idaho standards - but, heh, this IS Idaho we’re talking about).  I got a good laugh from this email - and it truly made me smile!  Am copying it here for your reading pleasure….

Hi Terry,

Don’t know if Michele told you how famous you are. We were up in Orofino, looking at my dream home out in the woods. The lady who owned the place was chatting with Michele, and mentioned she wanted to have some goats. We’d noticed a spinning wheel in the house and a loom out in the shop earlier. Michele got to telling her about your goats, and your spinning, dyeing, etc. When we told her who you were, she asked, “does she advertise in Spin-Off magazine? And wasn’t there an article…?” We said “yes” and she waxed enthusiastic about your products for a while.
Your reputation precedes you. It didn’t get us an instant discount on the house, though.

How cool is that?
Terry
