Tonight I am enjoying a quiet evening at the historic Boone Tavern Hotel in Berea, Kentucky. My friend Carol and I came down a night early to attend a Saturday morning workshop. Jason Howard, an author and musician I met at last Spring's Gathering of Writers at Greenbo Lake in Kentucky is presenting a Memoir Workshop at the Loyal Jones Center on the college campus. We drove down in late afternoon, had a pleasant dinner at a local coffee shop and then walked around the shops near our hotel. My favorite was simply called The Quilt Shop. The walls were covered with amazing handmade quilts and bolts of fabric decorated the back of the shop. I bought a few colorful pieces and we chatted with the owner for a few minutes. The quilts were quite pricey - $700 to $1000 each but having quilted two this summer, I know that the price is very fair considering the number of hours that go into each.
Happily, I also found a groundhog puppet. Gizmo will be so pleased. He can't seem to stay away from the snacks, however.
