A Great couple days! A friend from PA made the extra couple hours from the Contra Dance event of Lake George, to our house. A wonderful guest on a day I was feeling lower'n a snake's belly. She helped with everything - her beautiful cheery, encouraging self. Now I have learned a new meal for us, had a wonderful companion for two days, learned a better way of using the big water jug for our distilled water, took her to Isle St. Bernard on a gorgeous day, picked up the veggies at the CLSC - with her advising my choices - then she cooked!!

She went home with two large plastic bags of fabrics that I had unwisely collected over many years and no longer have the energy for, including all the pieces of patterns that had ended up stuffed into the drawers - some pinned to a fabric and cut out.... We were both thrilled - I have a few large empty drawers and she has innumerable projects planned for the winter - when it is too cold to work outdoors. We have similar tastes in colours, etc and she has wonderfully creative ideas. Wonderful that fabrics I have cherished are going to a new home. She also collected some brand new, unworn but outgrown outfits! I might have found more but got tired. I generally only wear T shirts, sweat shirts and very comfortable pants of a highly leisure sort!

I was also glad to pass on a sweat shirt for which she has one similar - from the Quaker Meeting we once attended. AND three of those fancy plates depicting three Quaker Meeting houses down where she still lives! She can pass them on! A treasure trove of the best kind of decluttering! I am elated!

Now I have room in those empty drawers for organizing other stuff!

A retired music teacher who is broadening her music horizons, I suggested she join Mudcat and check the FB page. She has gone to Mardi Gras a couple times and delights in turning her violin into a fiddle!

Now back to real life! Tires to be changed tomorrow and fall servicing.
