NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, February 22, 2009

Well it's really late but I am trying to do the blog on Sunday. I leave in a few hours for Charleston on my Leadership Berkeley Class. I'm really excited about this trip---we will see the Legislature in session, meet the Governor, interact with the State Chamber of Commerce and tour the State Supreme Court. I will return on Tuesday evening.

We had a really great week at Nutmeg Lodge. My birthday and Kelly's birthday were both celebrated in style. Cathy and Marcy both baked wonderful cakes and we enjoyed sharing them with everyone who came in.

The best part of the week for me was today. This morning I had two wonderful friends from Houston come in for a surprise visit. Gerry Ann Corbin and Marie Pasternak were a sight for sore eyes. We didn't have a lot of time to visit but it sure was precious. Then this evening I had a surprise post on my Facebook from another old Houston friend. Does life get any better than than? What do they say about friends, old or new all of my friends are gold.

Robyn's fabric continues to be the hottest thing going--we have gone through so many bolts and still we need to reorder. If you are looking for the kit from the magazine project call or email us. The price is $95.00 and $55.00 for the finishing kit (binding and backing). We are running a couple of days behind because of the numbers but will get them all ready for you in just a couple of days.

We have some darling new cowboy fabric for that little cowpoke in your life.

Cathy and Pattie will love to see you on Tuesday and I will see you on Wednesday. Barbara
