Horn Visit

Woke up to a cold and frosty morn here in Dixie. It was 30 degrees F here and very bright. It was so warm when I got home from Franklin late afternoon I turned off the heat and opened the house for about an hour. Supposed to be lovely for two or three days.

Sondra and Bob rolled into the parking lot at the Shriner Building simultaneously with me. We went in and joined the group. They were made very welcome by the other girls there and since one of them, a native Californian who grew up right in Horns' area had a lot to talk with Sondra about. Since the raffle quilt is full of bias edges (lone star) we were anxious to finish basting before folding it up and it is queen sized they said they'd beg off lunch and keep going. Horns immediately offered to get carry out at our favorite BBQ place so Sondra wrote down orders and I went along as navigator. We had a great visit as we all sat down to eat together. Sondra had assured me that Bob is perfectly comfortable with a bunch of women and a good sport. She was right on both counts. He's great. He is her color coordinator and goes fabric shopping with her. She is so impressed with the area that she was picking up those free real estate ad publications one sees in kiosks outside restaurants and he followed suit. They are waiting for their son to finish college and are planning to retire and are seriously thinking about this area. My guild is quite large, about 185 members (day meeting and evening meeting) but there were just six of us there today. Sometimes we have as many as 8 and sometimes as few as two or three. Sondra took a couple of pictures and one of the local girls took couple of pictures of the rest of us standing around the quilt which is posted here (I hope). A lovely day was had by all.

RATS!! The picture won't upload. I've never had that problem before. I'll try again in a new post.
