Stormy Weekend

We had some violent weather pass through the area this weekend. A tornado touched down just southeast of us on Saturday. We spent a good hour in the basement...just to play it safe(including Little Willow, our cat). There were several flickers but no outages or damage.

Richard has a busy summer lined up. This month he will be in New York for five days at Binghamton University. He will be visiting a professor there who is interested in Curie High School as a satellite in the midwest to teach nano technology at a high school level. Looks like Rich will be providing Chicago Schools with another "first in the nation" program.

Rich is also going fishing with a large group of friends. They are doing a fly-in up in Canada for five days. It will be good for Rich to do this. These guys have been friends of his for years.

Then in August, Richard and I are going to Hawaii for twelve glorious days. We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. It will feel so good to get away. It has been four years since we have gone on a vacation.

Now to speak about HYWT. I received a shipment of yarn this week from Conjoined Creations. They have phenomenal hand dyed yarns. They will also be sending me their Flat Feet yarn in the next few weeks. I will keep you posted as to when it arrives.

Mary Beth and I have a workshop this Thursday at one of the Lockport Libraries. I received an e-mail from the gal there and she said that 12 have signed up for the beginner crochet class. It will be fun and we are looking forward to it.

Well, I had better get things ready for tomorrow. I will write again soon.

Knit on!
