Happy Day! It's gorgeous out! Look at that blue sky. This was taken downtown. I started my weaving class this week. It was a smart idea to take a class. I don't think I could have figured out how to weave from a book. I like that the class is a small size. The instructor and her assistant are able to give us all a lot of hands on help.

All, My sister, the Artiste, and I had a great time visiting with our nieces and nephews. A great time was had by all! The local yarn shop was closed, curses!!

The shawl pin is really pretty. I can't wait to use it. Then I walked around the city and took pictures. Here is a lovely parting shot. Trinity church! You can kinda see the George Washington statue on the right. There are a lot of twisty narrow streets downtown. Enjoy your weekend! Marie
