Flying
off the Handle, or the confessions of a broom making addict. |
  
the LAST Ozark Retreat awaits in April! Join us as we weave and watch the Current river slip by at the
Ozark Basket Retreat at Big Springs Lodge in Van Buren, MO.
The lodge and nearby cabins are wonderful examples of Depression era
architecture built by the CCC. You won't want to miss fall in the
Ozarks! For more information click here.

of them stashed in a broom closet. I guess that means I'll be coming out
of the closet soon. You know what they say, "if the broom
fits, fly it". Check them out:
