It is early Monday morning, June 8, our day to organize supplies and get ready for Bill's first day of teaching. Wow, things are moving very quickly for all of us.

The opening on Friday was very well attended even though the weather was not cooperating. Our special reception for Bill was highlighted with good food, great art and fun. Tasha manned a table with her Napkin Notes which, by the end of the evening, were filled with messages for the people of Mississippi.

Those of us who know Bill, know how he can work a crowd. We also know how fantastic his work is and now Lancaster is aware of that as well--Bill's art is amazing. Jessica's computer introduced gallery goers to his drawings and other works as it spooled away during the evening. Thank you, Shooflies!

Saturday, I introduced Bill to the Hole In The Wall Puppet Theater. We laughed and clapped through the performance of Rumpelstiltskin then, walked to Market to meet Pixie for a tour through the Quilt Museum. Bill and Pix went off for more adventures in the afternoon and we met for dinner at her home that evening. It was perfect. Good food, laughter, and great friends. How can you top that?

Sunday was a day of rest, relatively speaking. We took in the Queen Street Festival, The Lancaster Art Museum's exhibit, lunch, ice cream at the Chestnut Hill Cafe, dinner, and ended the evening with a concert at Long's Park.

I am having so much fun! bl
