NQA 2007 Quilts V

It rained a little this evening and it is just what we needed. The grass and plants were looking dry and thirsty and they really needed a drink. Of course it means that the concert of Three Men and A Tenor got cancelled, but I can see them another time. It has been cooler in the evenings and that makes for better sleeping. Of course being very tired from staying up late to watch Micheal Phelps win more gold metals doesn't help. Eileen mentioned that she likes Aaron Piersol and after seeing him tonight. I can see why. What nice blue eyes he has and he can swim too.
I met up with Lisa and Sophie after my Habitat committee meeting last evening and we saw the final concert at Eastwood Towne Center. The group was Don Middlebrook and Living Soul. They did Jimmy Buffet type music and the female singer has the most wonderfully clear and sad voice.
I stopped at the Allen Street Market after work today and ran into Heather and Julie from the Habitat office. Julie let me know that she is engaged to her boyfriend Nate. She is very happy and I am happy for her. She is a real gem. I hope they will have a wonderful life together. Congratulations!!! She just moved into my neighborhood so I will have to invite them over for dinner sometime soon.
I spent some time preparing food for the big fundraising party for Habitat Lansing tomorrow evening. I hope to see you there!!!! If you can't make it, you can make a donation at www.habitatlansing.org . Just mention the August 14th fundraiser or Lavender Pie when you make your donation. Thank you in advance. You already know that Habitat does good work and we appreciate your support.
