THAT OLD SAYING... |
|
|
|
'Time flies when you're havin' fun.' Shouldn't it be... Time flies when you're busy AND havin' fun? Time is REALLY flying by for me because I've been busy havin' FUN! I mean, February just flew by. It's over...Already! |

TOO
MANY We go through life wearing many different hats. Most people I know have several hats. Some of the hats that I wear are a sister hat, daughter hat, wife hat, mother hat, grandmother hat, quilter hat and friend hat. Lately the hat that I seem to wear most is my volunteer hat. On the day of our |
| February bee at 35th Ave Sew & Vac I had two really BIG volunteer hats to wear. My bee hat and my Arizona Quilters Guild Board hat. It turns out that my Board hat, which I always wear on Wednesdays, was on my calendar before the 35th Ave bee got moved to that Wednesday instead of the usual Thursday. Sooo... I didn't get to spend much time at the bee that day. A BIG thanks goes out to Nina who stepped in and made the bee run smoothly. | |

THEN... Every once in a while my body plays host to a laboratory experiment of GERMS and that's what it was doing on the day of our February bee at the Cutting Edge. So I opted to keep the laboratory at home that day instead of sharing my GERMS with |
|
|
everyone. Terry took over the enjoyment of making sure all the bee tasks got done. She reported that all the volunteers were well trained an well behaved. And I would have to add that they are also very thoughtful cuz when all the bee supplies made it back to the PBP closet I found a very nice Get Well card signed by all the bee goers. Thanks guys! It
brightened my day.

WHERE'S |
BONNIE??? |
| Last month I told you about Peace By Piece Quilter, Bonnie. Bonnie is our World Traveler who is always visiting some other part of the world. Earlier this month I received an email from Bonnie, saying she was in Fiji. Bonnie shared a few of her adventures in the e-mail and I heard she shared many more during the last bee at Cutting Edge. |
