I'm in Ecuador, on vacation with my daughter, who has been an exchange student here for the last semester. We just spent the last week in the Galapagos and now are back with her host mom, Margarita for Christmas.

Yeah it seems that people are starting to ask my name..before it was always just a screen name and I have always signed on as betweens and now people are more comfortable with the internet they like the first name basis...
I can`t believe they now have 31,500 members on this site...they are very close to TQS (the quilt show)!
What a great list of UFO`s it is an excellent idea. I think I will do the same and then I will be able to cross them off. It is so easy to get sidetrack.
Life is good as to be expected we have had a perfect summer weather wise that is for the people that like hot and sunny, now i hope for our winter we get snowing and blowing we need good quilting weather too.

I still remember the beautiful picture you sent me of a lovely flower when I was complaining about our cold weather one day.Hope all is well with you.
