Wow, what a beautiful part of the world even if a little hot today (I suppose it is still summer here in the US).
I am having some time here with YLI, the thread company, and we are looking at hatching some new ideas. Don't hold your breath, but keep it in the back of your mind for next year sometime.
Had fantastic N.C. barbeque...still licking my lips (and fingers and the dribble on my clothes!!)
The accent is 'southern', whereas I keep on telling them mine is from the "Deep South". Funnily enough, we seem to be able to understand each other fairly well though.

Blogger behind
Had a great (v.v. busy) time in Cleveland with Jan from Pins and Needles...what an energizer bunny she is, with more programs ready to roll out in the next 2 weeks.
Flew the (?????) friendly skies from Cleveland via Washington DC to Charlotte N. Carolina. Small plane and we had to wade through 5 inches of water and pounding rain to get off the plane, and repeat the joy after a few hours delay. Wet, miserable and tired, of course, no luggage arrived with me. For the baggage charge United are now charging, the service is really diminishing. Airports are far from happy places to be at most of the time.
Will amend that a little--the couple I sat next to were great and the hubby went off to have a drink: he asked if we would like one and me being cheeky, said , yes, a margherita to go. Be careful what you wish for! Made the wait a little more fun though.
Catch up with y'all later

Back in the US
Flew back into the US today (Cleveland), minus my Australian adaptor for a few days...no phone charger and no computer charger means that I had to have a break whether I wanted to or not! So sad, eh?
And Canada is fabulous...thanks to Joanne in Westport for a memorable event, pulled together in a whisper of time in such a beautiful location. And thanks to her husband Ron for being such a great chauffeur and laundry assistant. You've got to take your hat off to someone you barely know who folds your semi-industrial underwear after laundering!!
I am sure textile husbands are their own special breed!

Toronto, H&H
Still in Toronto, had a fabulous day on a local city tour bus (one of those on/off numbers) slowly feeling less sick each day.
Went out to the islands, feted with a close up of the Toronto air show.
Off to Westport tomorrow, hoping to be well enough to finally eat something with real maple syrup on it!!
Have been well looked after by my Uncle in-law (husband's uncle) Herbert, and am staying right next to the St.Lawrence market with anoth really kind distant relative of Herb's and therefore me, Henry.
Don't know whether H&H is like M&Ms, but both are leaving me with a really good feeling.
I will certainly be back to Toronto again.

Whirlwind
Greetings from Toronto where I arrived last Wednesday, towing a bug with me from Chicago.Sick, sick, sick!!!
Still recovering after throwing up for the last 4 days...one way, but not the ideal way to lose weight!
I have a few schedule changes and am working at someone else's computer, so will put them here as well as the side bar
Buffalo NY is cancelled--such a short lead time proved too short, but it will happen next year.
