Pam/NY's Page

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.  

Hi Pam.  This has not been the best Summer of my life. Trying to take care of Bud here with a splint on my hand was difficult and then he went into the hospital and back to the nursing home for rehab.  He finished his rehab and he insisted on coming back to Calais.  I flat out refused to bring him back to the apartment so he is down the road in Assisted Living.  He is not a happy camper but I refuse to give in to him.  I love my apartment.  It's small but cozy.  I still haven't made my drapes for the living room or curtains for the kitchen but I haven't had much sewing time.  After Bud went into the hospital and I got the splint off my hand I had to go up to the house and finish moving.  Just this week I can say every thing I want is here and put away.  I still have to get one of the guys who work here put up my curtain rods and a couple of floating shelves.  The shelves are going in my sewing room.  There is a lot of activities at the Rec. hall.  A short walk for me.  The thing I like the most with Bud gone is I can go back to my sewing group and my bingo group.  when he was here I couldn't leave him alone as he was falling.

So things are looking up at the moment.  Nice to hear from you.  Irene

Your the BEST...! Thanks!
