Home again 02-14-24
Hope you had a loving/lovely Valentine's Day. 💓 My thoughtful neighbor came with a card and bag of chocolate hearts. But I spent the day napping and slowly putting things away. Did one load of laundry, but must do another load with just the clothes with dye on them. Didn't want tinted undies! And I must start washing out the fabric that I printed in class; it is an intensive project of many cold water rinses, several warm/hot water rinses, and, finally, hot water in the washing machine with Synthrapol. I have a front loader, so I'm not sure how well it will work, but that is what i have. Can't do everything at once, therefore it will probably be an all day effort.
I left SDiego about 7:45am yesterday to arrive at Nancy Ota's at 9am. I thought I would take KoKo to the quilt guild meeting, but Nancy suggested we leave him at her house and I ride with her to the meeting. It worked out fine and after the meeting we drove back to her house, loaded up KoKo's luggage, and I drove home in light afternoon traffic. After unloading the essentials, I just passed out for a couple hours until it was time to take KoKo for his walk. We strode along quickly with my new pacemaker showing it's stuff. Feels GREAT to not be dragging my body along and sitting down sometimes at all five "seats" that I have been using. However, I will start soon with a personal trainer to try to build up strength.
The pictures I couldn't edit and transfer are intact. I will try to edit them and get them posted, but also have the "official" photos from the guild meeting to edit and forward to the newsletter editor and I need to do those first. I will talk more about Pat Pauly's workshop in the future.

Last day in San Diego 02-12-24
I don't know why I cannot upload pictures that I have taken in San Diego. It was okay the first day, but now it tells me I need to be online! But the settings show that I am and I can send and receive email. Too busy in class to take time off to find some place local to get help. The Help guy in some foreign country couldn't help. So pictures will have to wait until later this week when I am home.
I leave here tomorrow morning about 7:30am to pick up KoKo and take him with me to the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting in Dana Point. Then home about 2pm.

Jenny Bowker quilt from TCQC 02-11-24
I have long admired Jenny's work and have several small quilts. I took a class from her some years ago at Road to California. Great teacher, I enjoyed the class.
