The airline's *fix* to the situation was to BUS us up to Seattle, then fly us to Spokane. When even the BUS did not come on time, my DH went back to the ticket counter, and they found 2 seats on a small craft that flew us to Seattle instead. So we didn't have to have a long bus ride, but when we got to Seattle, we had another few hours to wait for the next flight. While waiting at the gate, I found a Stitcher! We began talking and she showed me what she was working on ... a pretty floral piece from a Leisure Arts pamphlet. I then pulled out the piece I was carrying ... it is the "Peaches" fruit label ... the freebie from DMC. I had stitched it 2 years ago when my brother Paul was first diagnosed with cancer. I had given it to my brother for his birthday in 1997. Upon my brother's death, the piece came back to me ... I was taking it back home. It was wonderful to have a respite from the grief of the day by talking with another stitcher. It was an excellent way to start a conversation. And it turns out that the stitcher lives in a neighboring town, so our paths may cross again. In fact, I think that she may now look into joining a stitching guild as the result of our conversation at the airport. Stitchers really do have the greatest hearts!
