Rug Hooking out on a deck in Southern California

Getting together with fellow hookers is so much fun. I always have a good time with my hooker friends. We laugh so much during the day at ourselves I actually had tears in my eyes from laughing.


Have you ever heard some mindless fact you want to pass on . For some reason I know all sorts of odd facts. Well one I had heard was if you want to get rid of coyotes you pee all over the perimeter of your yard. The ladies did not believe my pearls of wisdom. I guess the thought of her hubby making a safe perimeter from coyotes was too much. They laughed so much at my idea. Well I went on the internet and there was that fact. Some people believe in it and others used wolf urine. See I am a encyclopedia of useless facts!

During the day we went from hookers to possible crime observers. While hooking up on her hill we could see a police

helicopter circling the freeway we then watched five patrol cars stop on the freeway. We took turns looking through the binoculars trying to see what was going on far below us in the distance. We couldn’t see any accident . It took awhile when finally Janet saw them opening a trunk. She has such a nice view and a slight breeze that makes her deck a great place to hook.

About 20 or 30 years ago Janet had made a rug and she told me how she had thought of throwing  it away. It seems the wools she used at that time were flimsy and repairs were needed but what I saw was a rug that had aged well. I’d like to age as well as that rug! Janet explained how dusty it was and how it had been a floor rug she had done years and years ago. I wanted to see this old rug. Well when Janet brought it out Bev and I were amazed what a nice hooked rug it was.

Bev and I had Janet hang it up on the siding of her home so I could take a picture of what one person thinks is just an old rug. I think Janet is starting to see it in a new light. Sometimes having someone else look at what we hooked in the past makes us realize we didn’t do such a bad job!
