Usually when Donna comes up north, she's straight out with family and kid
things. So when she called Wednesday, was I free on Thursday and I was....
So she got here around 10 for tea and Danish and we walked the gardens.
Which despite the weeds, look pretty good right now. Then we compared our
various WIPS - hers are much more adventurous than mine at the moment.
Then we went out - first to my favorite bead shop in the world. Ok, a good
friend owns it. But it really does have a great range of beads, findings and
just plain old fun stuff. And it is bright and cheery and just plain
friendly. Tori is from near where Donna and her DH were stationed so, they
had a lot in common to start.

Next, we hit what used to be a great yarn shop, but this latest move was a
big step down. Much less stock, same snotty atmosphere but the two girls
didn't really seem too interested in the customers. And one had dreadlocks,
which is a personal turn off for me.
Then off to another bead store - but it doesn't seem to me that their stock
is much different than the last time I was in 6 months ago. But I have heard
their custom jewelry, especial for bridal parties is taking over their time.
But Donna still found some stuff she liked.
Off then to mine new favorite yarn shop - nicest people, they do - yarns,
weaving, needle and wet felting, lesson. I tried a row of knitting on a pair
of HUGE needle with this really funky thick yarn. The display shawl, knitted
with that pairing was 6 feet in two hours. The yarn was so lovely and soft.
So tempting... I bought the cutest t-shirt; it's actually on their home page
http://www.yarnandfiber.com/
And all the shirts

And on to a late lunch at my favorite Mexican place and home to talk so more
and then she had to go and you all know how I spent the evening!

It sounds as if you had a wonderful visit!! I have seen Cheryl's
garden and her daylilies, and they are awesome!
We are in Hendersonville, NC and I am amazed at the way tigerlilies
and daylilies just thrive up here!! I drooled over the pretty
gardens.
This is a RV/trailer park, so to speak.Most of the sites ar seasonal.
The one next to us is owned by an 85 year old English lady ( I don't
know how many years she has been in the US....quite a lot I think).
Anyway, the "patch" of land in front of her summer RV vacation place
has an absolutely gorgeous flower garden. Reminds me of my mother's
and we had a lovely time discussing the flowers, and the birdlife up
here.
We should be up in NH sometime after Aug 1...and hope to be in touch.
hey, Bobbie, I guess Aya will atill be with you at that time.

Yes, Aya and the boys will be here till the 10th of August. Rikuto has
cut his first tooth and Kaito made a sailor bear at "Build-A-Bear"
yesterday. He named it Chris after his father. I caught him singing to
it this morning. Look forward to the visit. Bobbie V
