The Happy Spindler
Here's a happy spindler in Serbia showing off her fistful of Russian style support spindles. Doesn't she look like she's enjoying herself?
Hmm. Maybe it's not the spindles that are making her feel so happy.
I wonder what's in that pipe?

I remember seeing that card on eBay and wanting real bad.

I'm thinking she is thrilled with someone taking her picture. Or embarrassed. Our usual cues for nonverbals are altered when the subject has no teeth.

"I wonder what's in that pipe?"
I don't know, but I think it made her teeth go away . . .

What's in the pipe? I don't know but I think we should get some for SPA.

Which reminds me, I am totally starting to smoke again when I'm 70.

Yeah, that's definitely more of a "pipe happy" smile than a "spindle happy" one.

The amazing thing for me is that if you peek into her bag, it might be full of spindles. Where can I go to find a spindle peddler on the street? Maybe that grin comes from being an itinerate fiber enabler?

Once you reach a certain age, you stop worrying about what it does to your brain....
