Hi Martha, Lucky you spending time in Belgium. I went years ago and we had a day in Brugge as we were in Brussels on business and could only take one day off. I purchased a pillow at the shop near the Kantcentrum and then had the problem of getting it home, being too big for our suitcase. It was in a black garbage bag and when asked I said it was a lace making pillow but never mentioned the sea grass. Thought the word "grass"might cause problems. It was too large for the overhead or under the seat and I placed it behind my knees and put the blanket provided over my lap to hide it. Once airborne I put it near the wall of the plane so I had a more comfortable ride.
I apologize if this email is not stripped of extraneous replies. I dislike the new set up in Yahoo where it lumps all the emails with the same subject line together. Also, when doing a Reply All, I do not know now how to change the subject line. It also puts all the replies in the same lump so sometimes I miss a couple of them. A pox on employees who want to change things for changes sake. Guess it keeps them employed.

Both at lace vendor stalls and at the Medieval Congress in Kalamazoo! When I get my act together, I put a download of our Bibliofile database (just a FileMaker database with a funny name, not a special program) on my iPad where I can readily search it as a spreadsheet. But sometimes I forget to take the latest version, or find I left it in the dorm, or just the booth is so crowded I don't want to bother checking.. Janice, someone on this list might like to take it off your hands. Sorry for my own low participation lately - the last couple of years at work were much, much busier than usual (requiring about a 30% increment in time spent there), so I decided to retire - which of course has meant that I dumped a batch of stuff from the cube in my house that now needs to be integrated sanely. Also was sent to a conference in France, and my colleague enticed me to visit her at her family home in Bruges (poor me!); we also went to Ghent together. Yes, I got a few minutes in at the Kantcentrum, and the store across from it, and wandered around Brussels for half a day on my own. That was two weeks out of the country, and I came back to work just two days before retiring. Just last Friday, returned from 10 days in the Middle Ages at the Pennsic Wars with my daughter and her family and about 10,350 other people...
