Yesterday was wonderful even though it was still colder than I want. I love winter, but we arrived in Vermont last summer and was hoping we would leave with the lilacs in bloom.
The day started off with odd tasks around the house, but Sandi called and invited me to lunch and a visit to her home. We went back to the Foothill Bakery where we had eaten some time ago. We had take out and headed to her wonderful home in a wooded area across the river from Kevin's school. Sandi is a quilter, that is how we met on the HeartStrings website. She shared some absolutely gorgeous quilts and quilts in progress. We talked about all kinds of stuff and enjoyed our lunch. Then we sat on her porch for an hour and were surrounded by the chirps and sounds of the woods. SO PEACEFUL!!!!
Around dinner time, Rachel came over to work on her quilt. She had some dinner with us and we chatted. Then while she worked, we headed over to the school. (She now has 7 blocks completed and is doing a great job with it.) Kevin had a bit of work to do and I wanted to spend time with Connie. Worked out well! I got to give Connie the quilt I had made for her earlier this spring (Surprised her, to say the least.) She in turn tempted me with raspberry fig cookies that I just did not seem to be able to resist. We laughed and laughed and then laughed some more.
I am truly going to miss these face to face talks with my Vermont friends, but we do have cell phones and emails, so our friendships will continue.
