Austin Quilt Guild news

Several ladies in the neighborhood have expressed an interest in quilting.  The Austin Quilt Show is in September for any who want to see what's available around town and view some incredible quilts.   This year's show is called "A legacy of Quilts":  Pearls of Wisdom from Our First 30 Years.  It runs from September 26 - 28  at the New Crockett Center, 10601 N Lamar Blvd.   

Now the fun part.  Nancy and I are  planning to have lunch and visit the show together.  Anyone want to come along?

Possum anyone??

If anyone who doubts Nancy's skill as a hostess, this should convince you.  Even the local wildlife don't want to miss out.  This week Nancy had to call Jack Breese over to help her evict an unwelcome guest.  Somehow a possum found it's way into the house.  Now we  know where to call if we have critter problems.  

I  understand the possum has moved  on to other areas and Nancy has her house back.

September Schedule

Nancy  has offered  her  home again in  September for Bunco.   Now is a great time to get  back involved with the neighborhood ladies.  We'd love to  have everyone there - and if you've never played bunco, that's OK.  It's easy to learn, almost mindless to play and loads of fun.

So, plan on Bunco at Nancy's house on Wednesday, September 24 or maybe Tuesday September 23.  She always spoils us!!

Hi ladies,  Maripat is starting a bible study group at her house and would like to invite anyone interested to drop in.  She's been teaching for 20 years and finds new things each time she teaches.  She uses a method  called Inductive Bible Study that teaches you to "feed yourself" from the Word of God.  If you are interested in attending just show up:

MORE NEW NEIGHBORS

We are so happy to welcome the Fitzgeralds to the neighborhood.  James and Julie came from Houston where James had an investment business.  Julie wanted to move back to the Hill Country - and who can blame her?? - so he sold his business and opened an Allstate Insurance office here.  The don't miss Houston at all.   The Fitzgerald family includes Dad, Mom and two adorable little boys, Daylon, age 3 and Kaiden,  just two weeks old.  

After meeting her, Julie sounds like she will be lots of fun at bunco/ book club/ or whatever we ladies want to get involved in.  

WELCOME THE ROBBINS

Brooke and Richard Robbins are new to the neighborhood.  They came from Houston with their 6 month old daughter, Emerson (what a great name) to be closer to family.  Brooke says they fell in love with the Dripping Springs area the moment they saw the Preserve.  So, if you run into someone in the neighborhood you don't know - it just might be the Robbins.  Stop and say HI.

Books And Bunco

We're doing double fun on August 21st at Maripat's house.  Book club will meet at 6:30, followed by yummy food and then  Bunco at 7:30.  

If you can join us for one or both, comment at the bottom of this post, or email Terri or Maripat.    If you have new neighbors, let them know about this event and give them the blog address so they can check on future events.

Maripat's address is 1280 Drifting Wind Run.  Her email is posted at the right with the rest of the ladies, and her phone number is 858-1317

Hope to see lots and lots of you there!
