Hi, Pam.

No, my son is a Librarian for the Seward Borough (county/parish in the "lower 48" as Alaskans phrase it) library in Seward, AK.  He has been there for 1-1/2 years now, starting 4 years ago as librarian for Havalook School in the native village of Kaktovik, AK. above the arctic circle on the Beaufort Sea, inhabited by polar bears and whales!  His wife is an EMT/Firefighter and sidelines as a baker/fermenter for a natural foods grocery in Seward.  They recently purchased their first home there a few months ago.  No grandchildren for me, but they have a Ragdoll cat and a mixed breed dog, rescued from the local shelter where DDIL also volunteered as a dog-walker!

Hey Pam..

    How are you? It’s been a long time.. I’m trying to get back in the QWU saddle. Would love to hear from you. 

Hi Pam, pleased you did that trip.  We did almost identical trip a few years ago.  The grand canyon, just left one speechless, the vast beauty, the sheer size and the colours were hard to put into words.  All the national parks just amazing, remember, I come from a small island, I think the size of Florida so everything is overwhelming.  Vegas was like being in a fantasy bubble, then the engineering expertise to build the Hoover dam, all so incredible.

This year, we are going to New York, staying in Manhattan for a week, then onto Pennsylvania  in April,  if you have any tips for a British tourist, do let me know.  David and I are looking forward to the trip.  Looking forward to finding some quilt shops too.  Ttfn Marianne UK 

Hey girl, Have you gone Awol again?  What are you working on in your sewing room.  I'm still plugging away on the quilts for my grandchildren. I'm anxious to get them done and move on to another project.  

Hi, Pam.  Couldn't comment on the Vermont blog post, so I just wanted to comment here.  What a fun trip!  I, too, always wonder how folks decide to settle *here* (wherever).  Sometimes I wonder if they closed their eyes and wherever their finger pointed on a map, that's where they went!  :)   

PS:  When I go anywhere with Todd, I usually implement the "travel dehydrated" method!  :)  

Pam I would love to have you come play in my sewing room.  I have friends who come and we sew together.  It's smaller then the one I had up at the house. I'm going to leave that one on my page to remind me of all the fun days I spent in the "green" room. This one is cozy and most of the things I had out in the open at the house is in the closet so my actual sewing space isn't much different.

Hi Pam,  I can't wait to see your table runner when you get it done.  I'm thinking I would like to make one for myself.  I hated to part with it. I just went and bought 6 yards of 3 different Christmas prints that were half price.  And fabric to make my kitchen curtains and a new pair for my bedroom.  I hate my bedroom curtains. I have the fabric to make my living room drapes so I will be busy for awhile.
