Spent the day yesterday at friend Sheree's house learning how to make a reversible tote bag. She's a professional seamstress (and oddly enough, a chemist), and she's started having a group of us over to help us learn to sew. The group's common denominator is that we all have first graders. We represented the US, Belgium, Japan, Korea and England. We had a really great time and I made a fabulous bag. You can learn more about it at Sheree's Blog.
On another International Note, you can, apparently, get too much of a good thing. Some American women I know went for a girl's weekend to Heidleberg. Beautiful, quintessentially German town. All of the women have been in this country for at least three years (one of them has been here for five). All of them experienced a "been-there-done-that" feeling. Another cute town, another church, another castle. Must be time to move on to another continent!
Picked up Uncle Brian and his new wife, Ann, at the airport today. Had a bad moment at the parking garage where I got stuck temporarily and couldn't communicated well to the guy over the little loudspeaker box. Called Skip in London and yelled at him for awhile to ease my frustrations, but I was able to park and get to the arrival gate on time. I've got just under four months of situations like these to get through, then I can be competent and self-sufficient once again. And Skip can stop having to field my hysterical phone calls.
