The weekend is about half over and I have not done much at all. I seem to have contracted some kind of crud-you know: runny nose, cough, etc. And that is my excuse and I am sticking to it!
I needed an emergency trip to Little Quilts this morning. I lost my magic wand last weekend. It was such a pretty blue one. Anyway, I don't know of another shop that has them-ergo drive to Marietta. I was there before the shop opened. Also got some "wicky wacky" while I was there. Now I can make the 10 minute table runner. (It will probably take me more like 2 or 3 weeks to get that done).
I didn't even hit tiny Stitches on my way back. I went back via Alpharetta to drop off the Halloween pillowcases for Sarah and Emma. I met them at the soccer field and took Emma to ballet while Sue coached the soccer team. Sue coaching soccer really amuses me. I wish I could have seen it. Rob had to leave at half time.
After ballet, we all had lurch together and did a little retail therapy. And then I headed home to the couch. I am wiped out. Hope I feel better tomorrow. I want to play!!

Quilt Camp-the good, the bad and the ugly
First off: there was no ugly. But there was lots of bad!!!! It was Splendor in the grass as you can see. Moda Man took the gang camping. I thought that Bobbin and Thimble were staying home. I guess they decided that they did not want to miss anything. I believe that Moda Man and Fat Quarter had a rather good time. I am not going to tell you what Brenda now has renamed Fat Quarter. So that was the bad of the weekend.

Ready, set, here I come..when it gets light out!
FaFaland..the real name-It is hard to believe that this beautiful place is but a mere hour and a few minutes from home. It is south of Covington, Ga on a 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere.

And here is where I plan to spend my waking hours for the next few days. In the company of some great friends and sew my brains out. I will also be laughing a lot and eating some pretty nasty food but I am not there to eat, so who cares. I don't have to cook it, clean up afterward or even think about menus. Just need to present myself at the designated times and eat.

Countdown to camp
I am so ready to head out to FaFaland and camp. Hopefully only one more day of work. Praying that the state does not come in tomorrow. I have started collecting "stuff". I have piles in the living room, my bedroom, the kitchen...so much to take. Getting my clothes together..not much time or thinking involved there. underwear and comfy clothes is all I need. But then there is my sewing needs!
Haven't done any sewing stuff since the weekend. I keep falling asleep on the couch. The fabric is cut for the main project planned. And right this minute, I am thinking it is once again time to settle down on the couch with the guys.

this week-on fast forward?
That is a train heading north out of NYC on the Metro North line. It was fun to watch the trains as we cruised up the Hudson.

Reunion Weekend
Most of my adult life was spent and involved this sacred space. A tiny church in Northern Westchester County. Babies were baptised here and later confirmed. Sue married Rob on a very snowy Sunday afternoon here. The ties are strong and the friendships deep and long lasting. It was a powerful weekend to renew friendships and acknowledge the loss of those departed. There were lots of tears all around.

The building to be taken down is the parish hall, affectionately called the "Pine room" as it was paneled all around. It was built without a solid foundation. The floor rises and settles depending on the weather. I thought I got a picture of it but alas, I must have been too busy talking! go figure.

Chillin' in NY
It is almost time to head to the airport and fly away home. I wonder if I could bottle some of the cool air up here. It was 51 when we got up this morning! It is 75 now and you can tell that summer is over for the NY crowd. It was great to see some old friends and renew many wonderful years when the girls were young. I took pictures of pictures that were in the albums. Kris is going to crack up at some of the stuff floating around of her. One of me in my thin years-along time ago in a galaxy far away!! If only I could pack up the church and bring them to Atl. This place is so special and quite unlike any other church I have ever been in. There is no church at home that even comes close. Enough whining!!
Have to go home and make nice to the guys

Baby, it's cool outside
Dear friends in the Atl, I am sitting in the kitchen, no air on, windows open and it is in the 60's. So when can we expect this south of the Mason-Dixon? Earl missed NY so the cruise on the Hudson was wonderful. I'll upload pix later on. There is no other place quite like the Hudson River valley. Just a whirlwind weekend with old, (old) friends.
Don't worry kids, I am taking lots of pictures of the people you grew up with at St. M's. I even took a picture of the Pine room floor! Traffic in Mohegan Lake on a Friday afternoon-kind if what we are used to at home. Kris the road was Wood St. More adventures and more people today. Kathy is serving breakfast..gotta go
