Look Out, Las Vegas

The Clay Carnival Las Vegas is getting closer and closer. I'm really excited about it this year, even more than last year since this time I know some of the attendees from last year. We've bonded into quite a group.

And I've added a new and fun polymer clay blog to my blogroll: Kim Cavender's blog. Check it out, she is such a wild and crazy and fun and wonderful and talented person. Definitely one of my heroes.

Secretary's Retreat 2007

We had our annual Secretary's Retreat on September 28-30. Everyone was surprised to find out I can cook!! Just because I DON'T cook doesn't mean I can't. It just means that Gene is willing and I'm not. I made a wonderful minestrone soup on Friday night and a great, spicy jambalaya for Saturday night. Both dinners were really good. The cabin we used this year was super, with a screened-in hot tub and and complete wraparound porch. Every year we have had wonderful weather and this year was no exception - warm during the day (but not too warm) with cool (almost cold) sleeping weather. There were six of us this year which mean that each "couple" had a bedroom. We've been doing this long enough now that we each have our bed "partner" and we've got the trip planning down to a science. This year I was the planner (my second time) and it was almost no work at all. I even enjoyed the grocery shopping.
