I guess I just got in to the "holiday" mode the past couple of days. I would intend to post and then wake up in the morning realizing that I had not.

I spent two very quiet days at home. Everything is ready for Celtic Mass and Faire. I finished up the details in the two quiet days and I actually fininshed the quilting on the big quilt that is supposed to be hanging in the Sheboygan County Quilt Guild show on September 18. All that is left is the edge, label and some fine tuning. I don't know why I do this to myself. This committing on a deadline is goofy when a person is supposed to be a retired person.

My sister Nora's daughter, Britt and her husband Bryan, visited Mother yesterday. She is an assistant curator at the Milwaukee Art Museum and has just accepted the head curator position at the museum of the University of Arizona in Tucson. They will be leaving in about a month and came because it will probably be a LONG time before they come back to this area again. Sounds like a great move for them. Bryan is excited because he is an artist and that is a great area for developing art. I know Arizona and New Mexico have really strong artist communities. Such a lovely couple. Another niece that we are so very proud of.

I also finished a couple of little booklets for the Sheboygan County Historical Research booth at our Celtic Faire. One on Grandpa Deeley. The other on the Lady Elgin Connection to the Bowser Family (Bowser being my Mother's maiden name.) I explained this on my 8/30 post.

Jim is healing well, we believe. He goes for his first checkup today. Dick is taking him at 10:00.

Have a great day.

Love

Mary
