Closer

I was able to have a wonderful dinner with more wonderful friends before leaving at one of my favorite Birmingham haunts, John's City Diner. If you're ever in B'ham you HAVE to go there! It's been one of my greatest joys while living here and will be one of my fondest memories. Thanks to Shannon and Shana Gober and thanks to all the lovely downtowners who have made the last (almost) 3 years so special!!!

I went on a small road trip this weekend and I'll try to upload a couple of photos from it. I went to the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, in the southwestern corner of the state. I took a weaving class for the weekend. Very intense set up necessary of which I was not aware, but very important set up because it sets the grid for all of the patterns for the entire piece. I will definately have more respect for hand-woven items I see in the future! I met some more lovely people and I'm very gratefull to Geri and Annie for putting up with me. ; - )

If the pictures upload correctly (I am computer and electronically challanged, you know) you will see photos of the Ocoee River where Tennessee and NC are joined and my scarf (poor, pathetic little thing) in the process of being woven on the loom. Enjoy!
