Me & Martha!

What a nice surprise I got at work yesterday when a very nice lady approached me and said that she is a follower of my blog. Meet my friend Martha from Baton Rouge. She happens to be in the area. Bountiful counts for this area doesn't it? Her son lives there and they are here visiting for a few days. I am so glad she made it down south to visit the shop and myself. I feel very blessed to have such great followers. Martha always leaves the nicest and uplifting comments. It was a pleasure meeting you Martha, it's nice to put a face with a name. I hope our paths will cross again real soon. I need to mention that Martha is a retired Jr. High sewing teacher. I told her that was where my love for sewing began. If it weren't for Mrs. Manwaring where would I be today? Probably not meeting "SEW" many nice people. I love my job!

Hey Shannon, Mrs. Manwaring lived in my neighborhood and I know her son John very well. She was a very talented lady. What a great teacher you had. Sorry to say, I don't remember who my sewing teacher was in Jr. High, but I did learn to sew and love it.

It was fun meeting you, Shannon. I will drop in again some day. Yvonne, my husband is Dutch and we were in Holland a few years ago. Maybe we will back some day. I taught high school home ec. I wasn't lucky enough to have it in junior high. I would love to teach that age though. I love reading your blogs and will be visiting often.
