Not at the moment Sue as we are having some fantastic weather. Today the 
temperature is 26 degrees and it looks like it will continue into next 
week


Yes, it's cool here this morning (8:30am) - only 24 degrees centigrade/ 75 
Fahrenheit. Yesterday was a lot hotter - I saw 98F. Hopefully we'll get some 
much-needed rain out of these ever-darkening clouds




We are having a bbq Saturday so it had better continue !!


Hope it doesn't rain then

Greet had come thru  Cedar
Rapids on the way to the convention


I am wondering if there are a lot of lacemakers in the Cedar Rapids area, as 
my son is about to start college in Mount Vernon, IA and I will be making 
visits there fairly often as a consequence. (One of his majors is theatre, 
so there will be quite a few plays to come to see over the four years).

Hi all!
I have been reading the letters about me sitting in on Greet's class, and I  
didn't realize that it would cause such a flurry.  Greet had come thru  Cedar 
Rapids on the way to the convention and when she had shown her lace, and  the 
basic stitch, I was floored by the beauty of it!  I was very  disappointed to 
think I was too late to take her class, so I bought the book,  and was going 
to buy the class supplies (if she had any kits left over) and try  to work it 
out on my own.  When I ran into Greet at the convention, she  said that I could 
take the class in the afternoon.  We checked with the  committee people to 
make sure that it was all right, seeing that Greet didn't  have more students 
than she could handle.  I did pay the half class fee,  full kit fee, and I 
tried 
my best to ask questions when she wasn't helping  someone else.  I thought it 
was wonderful that they would let me do that,  and I really appreciate it.  I 
did do as much homework outside the class as  I could, and I do think that I 
have the basics down pretty well.  It is  VERY inspiring to continue, 
especially after seeing Debra Jenny's  gold and  bead piece!  Sigh!
