Week in Review - July 12 - 18

Last night was the annual Symphony Under the Stars here in Helena.  It was Sinatra tunes and was a ton of fun.  This year, knowing better, I put out the blanket almost in the exact same spot as last year, but did it on my way home from work Friday night.  And we packed a ton of munchies and wine and tea for the evening.  Savvy and CJ were glad we made the effort to attend.  Joined by a co-worker and her son.  Texter joined a group of friends across the way and everyone, including Lady K, had a wonderful time.  The fireworks had her full attention and she stayed awake until we got home.

Made some progress on La Passacaglia, but not loving the rounds coming up.  Will have to regroup and use them on other pieces and find something else in my stash to finish out this rosette.

Completed another row on Sophie's Universe which has been languishing in the corner.

However, the week ended on a bitter-sweet note.  A co-worker and friend in North Carolina lost her fight with lung disease while awaiting a transplant.  She departed, surrounded by family, after putting up a good fight.  A truly wonderful person and someone who will be missed daily.
