Notes -- On the Way to Other Notes

I've just got a minute between jobs, so thought I'd update you on what's happening around Chez Brick.
    Got home at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, after a fulfilling (but computerless) time with the Charlotte, NC Quilters Guild people. (Hi guys! Pat and Alice, thanks for schlepping me around the fabric stores and thrift shops!) They were so gracious and kind to me.
     One of the big college basketball tournaments was in town, which made for interesting hotel mates. I have never sidestepped so many overly tall guys in the hallways before.
     The trees in North Carolina were bursting with bloom, like big oversized snowballs. Beds of daffodils, too. Lucky they're not here -- we've had snow the past two days. They'd be freezing their pistils off. 

     Note on the previous post (about talking extra loud, if someone's not speaking your language): Daughter #2 had a Japanese lady interrogate her for an hour at the boutique where she works in Boulder -- but the lady, with the exception of "This discount price?" spoke only Japanese! When Angel didn't understand, the lady just spoke louder! (I guess Americans aren't the only ones to take this approach.)

     I'm trying to catch up with unpacking, laundry and biz stuff...our staffers were off most of last week, which meant things waited for Yours Truly. Am slowly making progress.
    Our beloved Weimie, Buck, has been terribly sick. He has some sort of vertigo problem, although in the past day, he's gotten better at wobbling out the door to do his business. He isn't eating or drinking much, and sleeping a lot. At 16-plus, I don't expect we'll have him much longer.
    Life goes on, doesn't it.

    It's about time for a new giveaway! It's about dingdang time. See you tomorrow
