Time Tested Traditions

Women have been gathering to fellowship over hand work for generations. Whether it was quilting, knitting, or any other creative venture there was usually some sort of warm drink, a cookie, laughter and supportive friendship involved. This night was no different. Women of all ages gathered to share in the love of being industrious and creative, and of having time to simply be together.

4-day Weekend

This is an exciting week for me. Every Spring I purposefully take 2 – 3 days off just to be at home. I am doing this Thursday and Friday. The only requirement is that I don’t do regular housework…it’s meant as a break. I usually take on a project that I’ve been eyeing at the house. This week I plan on doing the following: knitting(uninterrupted), listening to peaceful piano music, having my hair conditioned and cut, giving myself a manicure, sitting on our deck, having coffee with a friend, visiting a shut in, watching It’s Complicated(which my sweet girl gave me for Mother’s Day), I may even get out my guitar, and who knows what else. Sounds delightful!

This will be followed with a visit from cherished out of town friends! I can’t wait to sip our drink of choice and visit. Saturday night we are going to see Peppino D’Agostino in concert.

It’s going to be a great 4 day weekend! Just what the Dr. ordered! J.
