I too have enjoyed all the activity! Keep it up, please.
Internet time has been severely limited here, between no power for a week, end of course testing, the end of school, Quiz Bowl national competitions, on-line inservice training, and an intermittent loss of signal that was very frustrating.
The piles of debris are beginning to be hauled away, but it will be years before the houses are all rebuilt, and decades before the trees recover. Driving past the severely damaged areas is depressing.
I have two goals this summer for quilting. I want to get the binding on my friend's quilt; I finished the top 2 years ago, and the group that hand-quilted it has had it all this time. I also want to quilt and bind a top that has been finished for years. That one will be going to an acquaintance at school who lost most of her possessions to a house fire earlier this semester, and then lost the rest of her stuff when the storage unit was totaled by the tornadoes.
Quizbowl nationals were in Atlanta. We were 96th out of 224 teams. This is not what we hoped for, but not too bad either. While we were there, we played tourist. Here is a picture from the GA Aquarium.
