Great Weekend

I got to participate with two different groups of people this weekend but doing things I love. Friday my Miss Bee Haven group had an in town retreat....I worked on getting my antique quilt tops tied in time for company at the end of September (I will post a picture when they are both done and on the twin beds in my guest room). We quilted from 8 am until dinner and finished the evening off with Italian!!!

Then Saturday my ski and outing club took a evening hike to the top of Hawksbill where we wanted to watch the sun set and the moon rise. No chance of rain according to the weather forecast...but alas a storm quickly approached just as I laid out a great picnic. Here is a shot of us all right before our rapid decent pointing out the lightening bolts we see in the distance. We all agreed we would try again, we got a glimpse of a brilliant red ball peaking from behind the clouds and over the rim of the gorge just before we took off. Luckily we made it back down before the rain and lightening got to us. Go Postal and I are off to Tsali next weekend to mountain bike and raft the Nantahala with my sister's family from Atlanta....good thing we aren't camping but staying in a cabin since the remnants of Hurricane Fay may bring us some much needed rain.
