Guacamole!
Tonight 8 Frog Ponders got together at Fiesta Tapatia for a little goodbye dinner. I can't believe I'm leaving South Bend next weekend. I am really going to miss these women. And I was totally and happily surprised by presents! Janet (the spinning wheel goddess) gave me a home-made dying kit. Carol gifted me with Broad Ripple socks, in a color that made her think of me because it reminded her of avocados. I love that avocados make people think of me! I need to spread that association around a little bit more. Sandy (who is rapidly falling into the spinning vortex with the rest of us -- she was playing with my wheel tonight and I bet she'll
have one of her own before the summer's over) gave me a most elegant and classy gift -- a sheep that poops brown jelly beans. Yeah!I also meant to take a pic of the spinning wheel charm that E! brought me back from Israel, but it, along with the orifice hook that Vicki made me, is attached to my spinning wheel now and I'm having a hard time getting good shots of these. Check out Vicki's blog entry for good pics of the orifice hooks, and get one for yourself, too! Mine has my name on it in beads, it's very cool.
Tomorrow night is the last Bella Vita meet-up I'll be able to attend. So it's goodbye part 2. Really sad. I am completely excited about moving back east and being near my family, but I didn't think it would be so hard to say goodbye. Once again, fiber people rock -- they are an international clan, and you can pretty much find a family member anywhere in the world you look. I'm sure I'll find some black sheep of the family in CT, too -- and they'll be great. But not the same as the friends I'm leaving here, or the ones I left in NYC last year. Anyway, I'm already working on convincing Vicki, E! and Jess to come to Rhinebeck with me -- and I bet a few other froggies could be convinced. And I think the Guru may be talked into it, too. That would be a true convergence of my worlds -- the Guru, the Frog Pond and the NYC SnB ladies, all at the same wonderful fleecey place. I think the planet might temporarily tilt out of orbit or something if that happened...

You're moving back east? How did I miss that? Goodbyes are a mixed bag aren't they? It's so sad to have to say goodbye to your friends, but the excitment of moving and meeting new (or even old) friends. Good Luck!!
saying goodbye really IS hard, isn't it? good luck on your move and i might see you at rhinebeck!
Aww, I know how you feel. It was hard to leave them too!
