It’s good to be home, even if it is only for a few hours. I had a lovely time with everyone and after every trip I wish I lived closer to my family. Time away from home gave me a better perspective on the things I like doing (i.e., the things I missed while I was away) and the things I don’t like as much (i.e., the things I didn’t miss for a minute while I was away).

And speaking of perspective I have a new plan for the workshop at the studio. I’m going to pack up Ruby (my quilting machine), my sewing table, my folding tables and a few quilting projects that are already sandwiched and I’m going to see how the workshop serves as a sewing space. If it works, I’ll move my cross stitching back home; I need something to fill my days and evenings in Powell River.

The yard and pots definitely missed me; my geraniums and petunias withstood the neglect better than the snap dragons and marigolds. The very first blossoms are out on the daisies but I’ve missed the best days for the peonies. Everything got a good water tonight and I’ll go over it all one more time tomorrow morning before we leave for Texada.

Thank you to everyone for the visits and activities. Seeing Madison receive her diploma was definitely the highlight! She is a beautiful young woman.
