OT happy dance

I haven't posted much lately. And haven't pieced much either. But I do check here morning and night and read. We moved in March, cleared our house and put it up for sale, and started managing a motel. Saturday the owner of the motel made a visit and was very pleased with the changes we've made. Before he left, he told us to check for openings in the GM training sessions. So in October he is paying for us to go to Phoenix for a week of training. and mini vacation. With sessions all day, studying at night, and the 4 hour test on the last day, doubt I will get far from the hotel or headquarters but I will check the directory and contact the Phx area quilters before we leave... or any of you in the area can email me.

Whoo-hoo!! Its always a good thing for the boss to be happy. And even with classes and studying, it's still great to get to go somewhere new! I think Butterfly is close to Phoenix, and there's a Patty (i)? there, as well. Maybe a little dinner meetup is in order. A girl has got to eat, yes? Might as well eat with friends! Good job on getting things going at your new place!

Butterfly (Pati, Jeanbaby, did you see this? Wonder if it's too far for our Caroline? )

Thanks. We do know that a couple evenings are taken up with official functions but maybe there will be a free evening or two.

I'm really glad things are working out for you, in this new place. It's been a tough time for you both over the past couple of years. . In message , maryd writes

Mary, I will look forward to having at least a small meet up at some point while you are here. Oct. is a good time of year for the Valley, unless summer hangs on extra long. The State fair is during Oct. too, so there is much to do in any spare time you have. (Of course, it all depends on when in Oct. you are going to be here too. I am planning on driving over to Houston for Market and Festival, so will be heading out the last part of the month.

Any idea where you will be > I haven't posted much lately. And haven't pieced much either. But I do

great, will have to double check on exactly where that is. I don't think it is too terribly far from me, but not sure.

That's great Mary. I'm so glad things are working out & it's so nice to be appreciated. Since he's making a further investment in you guys, you must be doing great things at his motel. Good luck on the sale of the house. Have a little fun in Phoenix, in between the classes & studying.

Sorry you're not getting much sewing time in. Maybe after you're done making improvements & you have a little more of a routine, you can get some piecing done.

I do hope we get in some fun. We are hoping to get a couple days in Phoenix before and/or after the training.

We are changing schedules so instead of working 8-4 I'll be working 7-3. Maybe getting off earlier in the day, I will get more piecing done. This evening I'm working on a swap block. Doing swaps I feel like when I've finished a block, I've accomplished what I've set out to do. Now to find time to assemble the blocks when I get them back. :)
