This has been a busy week. The card classes have been full. We learned to use several new tools. The one hour layout had some beautiful flowers today. The class will be repeated on Thursday night.

Wednesday, we played hooky and went to Valdosta. I'm getting too old to run the roads late at night. I have been dragging ever since. Tonight we have the crop night so tomorrow will be very interesting.

See Ya!
