My brothers are totally awesome so far, we're really getting along nicely.
smile They're up in Washington, in the same city actually, so if/when I ever go visit it'll be nice and easy to see both of them. They apparently had no idea my sister and I existed, so we were a huge surprise, but one they were happy about. Dad wanted us all to meet, but for various reasons was afraid of how it might go. Naturally, he is thrilled to hear that we finally met (not even he knew where they were) and are getting along fantastically.
Thanks! I have spinning pics too to share! First up, initial pic of fiber and wool:

And here is an in progress shot I just took right now:

Once I finish the skein I'll post a pic of it.
smile Caustic, I hope you were able to get some food too.
Edit: That's my purpleheart Kundert spindle posing with the fiber. The color is more subdued without the flash, but yep the wood is actually purple.
