Swedish Weaving Get-together

I met these ladies online through a Yahoo group about Swedish weaving. It is much fun meeting people in person that you have come to know through their posts and their projects and their trials and tribulations of the learning process. We met at Trish's place in McAllen. Next month we will meet at Magnolia Park.

It is way past time

Things can get away from me in a hurry down here. So this is an attempt to get a bit caught up. On Butch's last doctor trip she told him the cough part of his respiratory ordeal would be a long time going away...and it has been. I was glad she told us that or I would be getting concerned as he is still coughing a fair amount. I keep dodging the bullet on this cold/allergy business but in the last two days it has been much closer to settling in to something than I like. Still using the neti pot but I am out of Zicam swabs and so are the stores. I ordered some online but they are enroute. I am feeling a bit better tonight but my head still feels like a throbbing watermelon.
Enough of that.
Anyway, after getting my duties as prez taken care of at morning coffee hour I vegged out the remainder of the day. I think we all deserve one of those now and then.
Butch is scheduled to play in the Senior Winter Olympics on Thursday and Friday... I think. I know definitely about Thursday as that is golf AND it is one of our colder days this week with highs in the low 50's. I played a couple of years in this event and the weather was crappy both times. I think it is traditionally crappy for the golf event so I have since declined. I am a fair weather golfer and a weather wimp. I am sure Butch will do fine with it.

Bill sent me these photos of fellows fishing the river in front of their home in Arkansas. I really cannot tell if the people in the boat are men or women. But really, what do you think?
