Hi everybody - I'm back!
Well, firstly, I missed you guys even though I lurked when I could. I am
finally homebased for a while from all my travels and actually fondled fabric today - boy did that feel good. I kept you all in my thoughts and prayers even if you didn't need it. Those that did, got extra helpings. And I'm on a new weight loss program (down 8 pounds) so happy dancing is my exercise of choice. I won't go into details about my activities over the last few months, but here are the highlights: The positives: Took a trip to Florida to visit mom who is still in good health and where my two grands got to meet each other and play like they knew each other for years! Celebrated my grandson's third birthday with him and the family. Took a 4500 mile train trip with my husband across the country and back. I waved to everyone in NJ, PA, VA, Washington, DC, Illinois, and all the states between Chicago and Seattle down to Oakland and San Francisco! Didn't buy any fabric, but picked up lots of thimbles! The negatives: Not much quilting happened Hubby had another diverticulitis attack - scary when that happens. I missed sharing with you all But hopefully, I will soon be 'splaining the new baby quilt I have in the works for a dear friend's first grand baby. The sewing room has been straightened up and cleaned out. Big tubs now hold the inventory with clear labels. Project list has been reorganized. I accepted the fact that I don't have to finish every project I started in a class if I didn't like the technique. Phew, that was a tough one. Well, enough for now. Time go get ready for tomorrow!

settling down for a while. Congrats on the good things and commiserations on the not-so-good.

Hi everybody - I'm back!
Welcome home, Alice. We would so love to hear all about your 4500 mile
train trip; DH and I think about that sort of adventure sometime. Could you possibly do a sort of 'traveling' report and tell us about it? And furthermore - as to abandoning a project from a class you took - Of course you can abandon. Think of it as your history report in 5th grade about cannibals. Just because you studied it doesn't mean you have to make a habit of having people for dinner. Toss it. Can that precious grandson really have turned 3 years-old? My goodness.

Hi everybody - I'm back!
Hey Alice! It's been a loooooong time! Welcome home.
My parents took a train trip from Florida to Seattle once, when they came to see me. They loved every minute of it. They had the "sleeper" car to ride in. Sounds like fun. Hope to see you hear a lot more now. Patti in Seattle |

Hi everybody - I'm back!
Ah-ha!
So, Polly, you would enjoy a travel report about a long train journey. I wonder if you would like to look back with me on my train journey (both ways) from Canada to Mexico City? I also went across Canada and back by train (I wouldn't fly then - I came over to Canada, and returned home, on a large liner!). The Canadian trip even had a romance!! and the Mexican one had lots of Bridge! .. In message , Polly Esther writes Welcome home, Alice.
