Missing Steve (posted by Ann)

Dear Lani,

Okay, I'm done now. He's been gone to camp for 17 days, and I'm ready for him to come home. That's long enough, and I have to wait until Monday. Tater has taken to sleeping on the stairs, and we think he's afraid Steve will sneak in unless he's on lookout.

Thanks for finding the info on stringing the cranes, I'll have to try that. My basket is overflowing. And man, that is a very large TV. Don is proud of you, Steve! What a great idea for furniture shopping, I'm going to do that myself. You know I spend a lot of time in Greensboro, NC which is furniture shopping mecca, but I haven't even gone shopping once. That's going to change soon. I have plans for my living room that require new furniture!

Yarn School, huh? That looks really interesting, but I have to check the old calendar. Did you read on the web site that the bedrooms are old classrooms, complete with chalk boards? Can't say that I've seen that particular item in many hotel rooms.

I had a spectacular sail last night, one that made up for previous fog/hail/thunderstorms/doldrums - 15 knots of wind, perfect temperatures, great company, a perfect sunset behind the city and moonrise over the lake . . . and I don't have any pictures yet, but I'll post them soon. I stayed up too late, but it was worth it.

I'll post later when I get the pictures. No way they'll be as good as the sail was.
