Oh my.
It will take some time to get them all processed, but what a joyous activity, particularly since you can snag a bite now and then while you're working.
First up, though, is a visit this week to the Cheyenne Heritage Quilters show in Cheyenne, WY. I'm up for judging duties, as well as some days of appraising. With the caliber of these quiltmakers, the pleasure is all mine.
Stop by Aug. 25-27 at the First United Methodist Church (108 E. 18th St.) in downtown Cheyenne. You'll really enjoy it.

Piers Morgan blats off his mouth (again) -- this time on bronze and silver medal winners.

Pennsylvania's Attorney General goes down in flames: guilty on all counts of perjury, influence-fixing and more. (She resigned last week Wednesday -- it's about time.)

Have a great week -- stop by and see us in Cheyenne!
