I am off. Eight Habibi Dancers are going to Virginia, Minnesota, about 1 hour North of Duluth.

My mom was born about six miles east of Virginia, in a tiny town called Gilbert. When mom was young it was an iron mining town. Her father was the principal of the school, and her mother was the teacher until she married. In those days, married women were not allowed to teach. They did not want children to see a pregnant woman, apparently. Times have sure changed! Grandma finally was allowed to teach again during the labor shortages of World War II.

We perform on Saturday at a college in Virginia. I’m hoping to meet an online knitting friend sometime… but she’s far enough away from where I’ll be, and she’s enough busy, that it may not happen.

While I’m gone I won’t be shipping yarn or patterns, as you might expect. We will be back either very late Sunday or sometime on Monday. A few of us may choose to dawdle on the way home.

While I’m gone, check out my sister in law, Diana’s, new weblog. She is called OtterRomp. She’s a talented quilter, writer, photographer, gardener, cook, you name it. She also loves my brother, Eric. (Me, too.) Check her out!
