This was a month of many travels. We left San Miguel de Allende on June 5 and returned on June 30th. We are so grateful to our many friends and family that entertained us during this trip. Here is Ricardo with Julian - our grand nephew. We spent a few days with him and his parents Joanna and Stephan on the eastern end of Long Island. For his birthday Ricardo gave him a picture that he painted last year in Mexico. Soon he will learn how to say "elephant". From Long Island we headed to Cape Cod - see the next post about the family wedding.
Then on to Asheville, NC after a two day driving marathon including a stop at the Delaware Water Gap National Scenic Site (and a stamp in my book and hike to waterfalls). We always enjoy Asheville - especially visiting with Sophie and Amy, playing scrabble and eating their wonderful yummy meals. We also had a chance to take a wonderful yoga class with our favorite yoga instructor in the US - Cindy Dollar.
Here I am quilting a quilt for Habitat for Humanity. It was made of scraps by the UU Quilters and I agreed to get my sewing machine and machine quilt it at Eleanor's. We managed to get in a few games of bridge also both with Lee and Eleanor and with Marni and Fred. Below you can see a "suduko" quilt that I made and gave to Becky - our niece. She has moved to NC and will begin her first job - a first grade teacher in a charter school in Lewisburg, NC. It was great to have time with her and show her around our "towns".
Obviously we had a wonderful month and though we love San Miguel de Allende, we also love our family and friends and enjoyed every minute of our whirlwind tour of the northeast US.
Here we are at Overlook Mountain in Montreat, NC. Then we headed to several friends in our "hometown" - Carrboro/Chapel Hill/Durham. We stayed with Marni and Fred, Lee and Eleanor and Rosey. First stop was to the UU Church in Chapel Hill where there was a 'member and friends' art show and here are our two pictures hanging. Mi Corazon Dulce (My Sweet Heart) sold and was also commissioned for a copy and will sell along with Richard's next year!
