Hello, 'mamas! How is it going? Last night was fun! Peggy came - right from dinner with friends at Outback - prompting several minutes of extolling the virtues of the blooming onion. It was good to see her after her little hiatus. She's feeling better - and shared some good news. She's going to be a grandmother in September - joining Lois in those noble ranks. Congrats to Peggy and Richie - and they just found out yesterday that it's going to be girl. Mazel tov! Marianne recounted her adventures during a trip to visit Georgetown - hilarious! Mare had lots of show & tell - she finished her southwest quilt top - it is just beautiful! She had a bunch of disappearing nine patch blocks too - very pretty. And she put her scraps to good use making some string blocks - she will demo at our next sewing day. She had a truly productive week and also had time to make some delicious chocolate chip cookies for her family which were so good - the kids were drawn to them like magnets! Leigh Anne scaled the driveway and looks great. Cathy had a cute party pillowcase. Lois came and is getting so excited for Kara's visit. I finished all four of the student quilts - yahoo! Labeled them after everyone left - and they're in the gift bags - whew!!!! We had a very nice apple cake for Peggy - thanks Mare. Hope the relays went well - we missed those who couldn't come. Mare just posted some important info about flights on Southwest - be sure to read it. Is one person going to purchase all the tickets - did we decide how we're going to do this? I think we're leaving on Tuesday, October 28th - but we might want to have Pam confirm that. Getting excited for this trip - it'll be a fun thing to look forward to in the fall. Everyone have a lovely day.....see y'all soon, I hope. Piece....

Hello Girls! Jean, thanks for blogging about last night's Bee & keeping us up to date! ; ) We do head to TX on Tuesday 10/28. Buying the tickets ASAP sounds wise. I think it would be easier for one person to purchase the tickets. I booked the hotels rooms, does someone else want to handle the airfare & flight arrangements, please? Enjoy your evening. : ) Piecefully, Pam

Hey Ladies,
They are still only booking till 10/30. Is the early morning going to be OK for Jean and Pam-- because the early flight is 8:25 but it is only 4 hrs. if, we go later it is 7 hrs w/ stops...but the early one we would have to be at the airport around 7 am--Joe can take all of us.
