Life is Full —

The Feather in the Cap dinner is over and we enjoyed our visits with Maj-Britt Mobrand who helped us tremendously with her intimate knowledge of the eccentricities of the Glimokra Swedish looms we are trying to reassemble. Thank you so much Maj-Britt! We also enjoyed an evening with Mary Zicafoose who came to the dinner with Richard Kilday after teaching a class at the Art Center.





The saga with the building departments for the county and city continue — or I should say, refuse to come to a final signing because of the ADA requirement we have agreed to. Now all is approved for a five year period if we pave the handicap area all the way to the fence at the property line. But the man who is supposedly in charge of doing the paving says that Baxman Rock and Gravel Co. doesn't have a single order for a large paving job. They can't do a mix for our little job, so — wait we must. I talked with the building inspector and he assures me that the wait will not create any penalties against us. Obviously I need to relax a bit and not be in such a hurry to get the final.  Let go Jackie. OK.

It's not as if I don't have other pressing items on my mind. A Pacific Textile Arts newsletter needs to come to completion Waiting on two workshop dates to be established. Be patient, Jackie.

I try to do something in the yard and house each day toward the Taurus party which is almost upon us. I'm so looking forward to seeing the Larochettes and others who will be gathering. It's always a fun party. We're going to have friends from Teotitlan del Valle visiting us prior to visiting the Mendocino County museum. We have invited them to have an exhibit at the museum sometime in the future. They are bringing some rugs to the Taurus party and most of them may be purchased. I never tire of Zapotec tapestry and rug weaving — Altogether next weekend will be a time for celebration.
