Hi Deb,
I'm originally from Grand Rapids, both my kids went to Tech and I have some very fond memories of being in your part of the state. Which city do you live in? If you come to Phoenix then you are only 3 1/2 hours from Lake Havasu...depending on where in Phoenix you stay. If you are in Arizona the first part of November please come over to see our quilt show the first weekend of November. I'm on the committee and it is going to be fabulous. We have it every other year. I will definitely put a posting up to invite everyone. As I've said to others today, Lake Havasu has a terrific retreat the first part of January. I'll also post that info.
Nice to talk to someone from home.
Chris
