DH (aka Joe) and I spent the weekend at a sailing boat show called Strictly Sail, held in Jack London Square in Oakland, CA. We had fun and met many new friends and other sailors.
What I noticed most about our trip is how refreshed I feel this morning and eager to get to my quilting work. I attribute it to time spent on other interests. My theory is that if you feel weighed down by your quilting queue, or deadline for a project, it helps to put it away for a few days and go do something else you enjoy for a refreshing change of pace.
The hotel we stayed in was actually the hotel we honeymooned in a few decades ago. It brought back memories for us, and we had a laugh remembering how it came to be.
Joe had first booked a nearby hotel, based on a recommendation by someone he knew. So we show up, and imagine my surprise when the hotel was really awful, complete with a adult theater next door. We checked out, walked down to the nicest hotel right on the waterfront, and I think they took pity on us, so they gave us their best room right on the water. Honeymoon was saved- plus we have a funny honeymoon hotel story to remember!! LOL
Happy Monday to you! Carla
So where are you going sailing next?????
If the weather is good, next weekend!! The next big trip is in about 2 1/2 months.
Hi,
I am writing for permission to use you “Feather Tutorial” for a musuem education class at Western Illinois University. It is just terrific.
Thank you in advance. Catherine Litwinow
