I get to meet an interesting woman tonight!

With all the excitement of the house renovation and MY STUDIO being started on; I forgot that this evening is a talk that I am so lucky to get to go to regarding this remarkable New Zealander woman whom went with a friend in 1978 traveling and ended up in Petra in Jordan. She married a bedouin from the region and wrote a book about her experiences spanning 7 years living in the caves and living like the bedouin. You can find more information here. I am so excited for the talk and to meet her! I too came over to the Middle East but did not marry a bedouin and did not live in a cave; but my story is interesting none-the-less! Perhaps someday I will write a book myself!

I finished! No, not a quilt but a BOOK!

I joined another book club.  I have had one meeting and I finished the book.  It was really good and I can't wait for the conversation over it.  It is called Identical Strangers.  It is about two identical twin sisters who find each other at 35 and all that comes with it.  It was a good read.
