More Chocolate Please!
I went on a nearly-two-hour road trip with a friend today - to Courtenay, BC where there is a store called "Hot Chocolate". It was cold, windy and raining. I directed my friend to 5th Street. She is unfamiliar with Courtenay. We got out and wandered to where Hot Chocolate had been and IT WASN'T THERE!!!!! Then I remembered that another friend had told me it had moved, but I couldn't remember where. We ran back to the car (dodging raindrops), hopped in (cranked the heater and defroster) and were about to start off ... when ... there it was - on our left. Right beside the car. For some strange reason, I told my friend "we can come back another time". Now that I am home, I hate myself!!!! But I had a wonderful day with my friend of nearly 30 years! (Sadly, she is not a quilter!)

What you didn't go in??? Oh, my to be so very close and not go in............. guess you are much stronger than I would be!! Sorry it was such a confusing day, but that was great to be able to spend some special time with your friend. I understand where you are coming from about her not being a quilter, my best friend and I don't get together much because she is in PA. and when we do quilting isn't involved. Although, she loves the ones I have made............ she has just never been a sewer of any kind. She is a cook and a great one at that!!
Have a good day!

- She does cross-stitch though, so I have granted her honorary status!!

Comment by Nanny Gayle/La. on October 25, 2009 at 9:11pm - It is a shame that she has not learned the joys of quilting~ the art of relaxing and applying needle and thread to cloth. Maybe you haven't prodded her hard enough? LOL
