We had a lovely visit with Peggy and Bill yesterday. They caught the ferry across in time for us to have lunch and then we had a good visit in the afternoon back at the house. I owed them big-time for following me along on my disastrous trip home and giving me a bed for the night.

I did a bit of Hall work this morning but somehow I ended up with more questions than answers for things that happened while I was away. I still have to collect my thoughts enough to send out the financials and, hopefully, some of the answers I want/need will come on Monday night.

I spent some time out in the yard this morning. I weeded the bed down the side of the house; it was easy enough to do because I knew for sure what were plants and what were weeds. The alyssum had really sprouted up again but I didn’t even try to save it. I can only see four sunflowers that have germinated but those four are doing well; not that they wouldn’t be better with a bit more sun. The succulents are spreading too.

I went back to my Thursday sewing today. I’ve got a Thursday project that I leave there and Gail lets me use one of her extra sewing machines so there isn’t much to pack up for the afternoon. I got quite a few more blocks finished and I think with one more week I will have them all done. I cut for 80 blocks but I think I’ll divide them into two smaller quilts.

Before I left for sewing I bit the bullet and sent out the form for the Program Committee survey. I was pleased that when I got home I already had five responses. And even better is that several people offered to teach either classes or demos; there were even a few who said they would serve on the Program Committee.

Pat is playing out at Lund again tonight so it will be leftovers for my supper and maybe some TV and knitting.
