Happy Memorial DayThe store is closed today which provided me the perfect opportunity to write June's
newsletter. I hope the class schedule is a hit...lately it's really been hit and miss. We shall see. I always like
the classes but, unfortunately not everyone shares my enthusiasm (the story of my life). Bonnie is great at coming up with
unique ideas and is a great teacher. Barb is really busy with her soon-to-be new grandchild making a quilt and preparing for
the new family addition. I'm hoping once the dust settles that she'll be able to do some more classes. At any rate,
I sure hope you like the classes.

Scrap club was fun. Bonnie showed us a paper weaving technique that is great
for using scraps. We tried doing different patterns both by varying the weaving and also varying the paper patterns. Loralee
did a smaller square to use as an embellishment or a background for a photo. There are so many possibilites for this technique.
We then adjourned to the ice cream store and had dessert....ymmmm.

Today's my birthdayWell, today is my birthday...for the first time I'm actually feeling, I don't
know what to call it, let's just say I'm acutely aware of my age. I sailed through all those birthdays that were supposed
to bother me, but never did. I'm amazed that I find myself eligible for medicare...how the heck can I be 65 when some
days I wonder what I'll do when I grow up? Lillian and Barb treated me to pie ala mode and coffee at the new store in
the Antique center...oooh it was good! See, that's what's so nice about being older...I can eat sweets and just feel
a little guilty. Imagine how it will be when I'm 70. Colonel Sanders started Kentucky Fried when he was 65...I was 62
when Inky Fingers was born...I'm just a youngster. My husband sent me beautiful flowers and is preparing one of my favorite
pastas,,,clams and linguine for dinner...the worlds an OK place!

Catching UpWell, I spent most of yesterday inputing addresses, however, I am missing quite a
few. If you don't receive the newsletter, please e-mail me with your address. I am so behind in everything it's
crazy. My mother-in-law died this past week (she was a wonderful woman,,,the best in-law you could ever have). She was 97
and lived a long full life. We will miss her wit and wisdom. One of the good things about funerals is the family and friends
getting together, not to mention the food. Lillian, Barb and Bonnie appeared at the calling hours. It was so nice to see them.
Well, enough rambling I have to get going.
