i have been very delinquent in memorializing this summers 
adventures but not to worry there have been many.... a fun little get-a-way to ann arbor for kim's sally jean class and a quick visit with lani ... fun evenings with deb and kelly ... reuniting with an old friend... taking advantage of a cool august weekend to host a fire with friends and then yes to top it off a week plus at valley ridge which will forever have a place i
n my heart....the friendships made and rekindled at valley ridge will always bring a smile to my face and feed the desire to return...the week began with nina's gatherings class, then a few fun days beth helped us fill in madison -- willy street, state street, the coop, st vinnies, antiques (not my favorite) jolly bobs, margaritas in the middle of the day, you name it we did it...thanks beth for the tour de madison....but before we even got to wisconsin we spent 
time in chicago with laura and jane...the usual good time ...jackson square, portillos and trader joes...thanks laura for the accommodations in the bird 
room!!...our week in wisconsin finished with nina's 3 day pmc class....it was over all too soon and i am ready to turn around and drive the nine hours right back to witek rd....what makes it so special? well, a little bit of everything...the 
studio, the farm, the beautiful wisconsin backdrop, bill, kathy, nina all rolled up into one big ball of learning, laughter and love...valley ridge has truly touched me in a very special way and it gets better with each and every trip!!
