Road to California
It's been years since I've been to California. The last time I visited the LA area was 2001. Mere weeks before. . . . I enjoyed putting my feet in that ocean and could have spent a day or two more there, on the beach, listening to the sounds of the water. I'm looking forward… Continue reading Road to California

Saturday afternoon I sat down to check email and facebook Angela Walters sat with me to enjoy her bagel and some witty banter. She's quite funny. Angela sat at a table with some very happy quilters the evening before and I told her the truth. As they were taking pictures I very nearly raced over… Continue reading Friends and Teacher Ribbon
