Really Nice

Boy did I have fun chatting with you. We have not done that in awhile and it was almost as nice as having you here sharing a cup of tea. Thanks for the lovely gift of the call and the time.

I have taken one design class and I honestly did not learn as much as I had hoped as it was too general in scope. That might not be true of them all and I do not think one class allows me to be a good judge of their worth.

The Arboretum offers some wonderful classes and I would love it if you were here to take some with me. There are a ton that I would like to take this spring, but will have to pick and choose as they run about $20-35 a class. You really get your money's worth, but it adds up quickly when there are 15 to 20 classes that you want to take.

I met some delightful quilters yesterday that are in the Monday group and they made me feel so welcome. I sat next to a lady that asked me if I was a widow (probably from lack of ring) and I said yes that my husband had passed away in May of 2005 and come to find out her husband died the same month and year of cancer too. Small world.

I have been really enjoying my sewing room this week and my neglected house and garden show it. Oh well it is not like I have a lot of company to complain and Molly does not seem to mind. What a joy she has been to me and I am constantly reminded of how much I did not want her to begin with. The Lord has a way of blessing His children even when they are to dumb to appreciate it. Thank goodness for that.

We got a heavy rain around five this morning and everything is so clean and I can see the plants doing a happy dance. It is balmy outside. We were supposed to have had a cold front move into the area that sparked the rain, but if this is cold, I will take it for several months!!

Let me know when you get the flannel and if you think it is all right. If you are unhappy with the colors, do not be shy to let me know and I will do another one in different colors.
