LOL. I sure wish I had been in your shoes or packed in your suitcase. Gwen is one of my all time favorites and would love to see her come to Ontario one day.. maybe you and her can plan a vacation here when our weather is a little warmer.. I have room for you both to stay if you ever come to Toronto. Humble mind you but there is good eats and lots of quilt stores.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765349750174416368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1969523185948440502009-02-13T02:49:00.000-05:002009-02-13T02:49:00.000-05:00Hysterical laughter here.

BTW I always buy more than I should "just in case" and so far its never let me down.<BR/><BR/>When I was little I had a picture handing on my bedroom wall of ladies in heavy black cloaks trying to dry children off on the beach. Wonder if the Amish women looked like that?<BR/><BR/>Rhat photo of you is great. Hope you use it for the next book.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33531597102658525052009-02-12T21:11:00.000-05:002009-02-12T21:11:00.000-05:00Oh that beach looks wonderful!

I work just down the street from where you were at the art show on the beach. I would love for a guild here to "book you" for an event!! Two of my friends are taking the Gwen Marston class next week. I couldn't get off of work :(. Glad you had good weather while you were here. The beach is busy busy this time of year! And we have a huge Amish community here. Many of them winter here from Indiana, Ohio, Penn. Sorry I didn't run into you while you were here! <BR/>P.S. I'm loving my book!!!<BR/><BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249170204120951366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28510712551352727342009-02-12T17:50:00.000-05:002009-02-12T17:50:00.000-05:00Too Funny, apparently the gal thought that she was...Too Funny, apparently the gal thought that she was the only quilter in the area!

In the quilt shop the lady not only didn't know who she was talking to with Gwen but she obviously overlooked you! The photo of you on the beach is my next comment. Ya ready? You worried?

If you have never lived in the midwest then you wouldn't know that is a staple. Chicken & noodles or beef & noodles are ALWAYS served over mashed potatoes.
