A friend of mine and her husband are leaving for Ireland, Scotland and The Netherlands on Friday. Will be visiting family in The Netherlands. A 3 week vacation. Maybe you will run into them. Look for a lady that is knitting.

NZ Quilter - so happy you are joining in! Mine too is scrappy, with a creamy background. I will enjoy watching your progress and comparing notes.
Didn't get much done on Sylvia this weekend, just one block finished which I will wait to show when I have a few more. My husband retired on May 1, and my daughter & I put together a book of all the nice comments, cards & e-mails he received. He doesn't know about it - I asked people who worked with him or were in one of the camps, youth groups or Habitat for Humanity groups that he led who are on Facebook to send me their memories privately. 84 participants, and some really lovely, meaningful comments made. So we spent the weekend getting that compiled & looking up old pictures. It is now off to be printed, so back to Sylvia for a little while. We are having a family retirement party on June 3, so I'll be busy cooking as that gets closer.
Teen - looking forward to your big unveiling of your Sylvia!

And I wanted to mention how much I enjoy your pictures of your lovely country. Like here, things are very green there.

Awesome celebration gift for his retirement. Love that idea. And,would love to see a couple of pages, too. You will, indeed, be busy Donna, as you prepare to honor your husbands accomplishments. Great response of notes from people, which tells me he is respected by many. Such a beautiful thing! Hope you have help in the party preparations. That's a lot of work...... Have fun!
