OK, I tried and tried but I can't get out of two different commitments for the 26th! The biggest one is the American Sewing Guild Style Show--a once a year event and chaired by my best friend (she has done this for the past 5 years). And as a friend, I've always helped her (I sell raffle tickets at the door) and can't quit now without really hurting her feelings! And since this is the last year she'll chair this event, I feel doubly obligated....
Darn, I sure hate to miss meeting you all. Maybe we can plan another date???
