We laughed at the comment on one of the pictures "Were the 3 ladies on the
right jealous?"
I have to tell you that Tamara, Jacquie and I were COLD so had put our
(clean) table napkins round our shoulders to keep off the draft.

Lexington who are both standing behind me while I type!)

I wish you all could have seen the entertainment. They were a group of
dancers. First they came out and the women were dressed in the hooped
skirted gowns and the men were dressed in their finest. They danced the
minuet, and a few others. We went on with the banquet. Then more
dancing.
More banquet and business.
T H E N - - - - -- The Grande finale.
WOW! ! You had to see this. The dancers came out in costume.
Little white bonnets and long aprons, (funny I can't remember what the
men
were wearing) but they were each carrying a long white rope attached to a
giant sized lace makers pillow. The "Lacemaker" stepped up to the podium
and they placed the giant pillow in place. She had giant pins to place
in
the proper holes. The dancers kind of danced and at the same time wove
the
rope over and under making the stitches and finally a "tally". The
lacemaker placing the giant sized pins in the proper places. When done,
the
pillow was held up so we could all see the "lace". It was a wonderful
accomplishment. The battery in my camera had gone dead just as the
program
started and my extra battery was up in my room. So I got no pictures of
the
dancers. But believe me cameras were flashing all over. Hopefully some
will put them up for us all to enjoy. Don't know if we can wait for the
next IOLI bulletin.
Hope every one that went to convention had a great time.
