Made the Yarn road trip with Christine and my wife Brenda Joy. It was a good day. I noticed how the yarn shops all have cutesy names - must be the work of creative females. I'll remind you of the names we visited: Strings; N Yarns, Needle Haus, Knitting Fairy, Googly Eyes, Sassy Spinster, Shabby Sheep, and my daughter's favorite Yarn Heaven in Arlington. You have to admit these are great names, especially The Knitting Fairy.
.
I started thinking, yes, it does happen at times. It'was not too deep thinking, just thinkin'. My wife likes the quote from somebody in our past: "Sometimes I sits and think, other times I just sits." But that is off topic for today. Store titles is my thing. In a sporatic process and using my Parker Pen on a section of the Dallas News, I came up with a few names for a business.
.
Now I know you won't do this, but down at the bottom of this is the word comments. Perhaps you have thunk of a great business store front name. Send it to me. Now, not tomorrow.

A "STONE" is a family word for a personal story or thought, not quite an essay or short story. We moved to central Texas to be near a daughter. We are down to only one wirehair dachshund - Sadie. (Goodbye in 2021 to Oscar the ball boy and Bruno the larger twin) & my wife -- penned by a retired Texas H.S. band director - just nonsense thoughts unrelated to each other or anything other than what's happening and comments.
