Friday afternoon/evening at the Aeire

Since we were unable to attend the wedding being held this afternoon in New Jersey, Terry and I decided to head over to Wellsboro and the Gemeiner Arts & Cultural Center where she had helped put together a show of the works of the Embroiderers of the Twin Tiers. Ladies from New York's Southern Tier and Pennsylvania's Northern Tier had contributed various pieces of their stitching arts for a marvelous display that will run through the end of the month.

After, we drove over to the Pago-Mar Farms Market, a fruits and vegetable market on Route 287, to pick up a box of tomatoes for more sauce and a box of peaches to be canned. They also had some acorn and butternut squash we will be enjoying in the near future. (A man can only take so many zucchini dishes!)

Then we headed south on Route 15 to the town of Liberty and The Landing Strip Restaurant for their Friday Fish Fry Special. Fried flounder, shrimp and bay scallops with home made cole slaw, French fries and baked biscuit for under $9 and worth much more.

Now it's a relaxing evening at home. Without any rain. For now.

Needle and Thread

I’ve often mentioned that Terry is an accomplished stitcher who does hand embroidery and smocking. I’ve tried to get her to put some things about her projects on this blog but to no avail. To recognize some of her talent, I’m going to have to snap few pictures of her work and post them myself.

In the mean time, I’ve added a category over on the sidebar with links to three of the organizations to which she belongs:

Stitching Organizations:

American Needlepoint Guild
Embroiderers’ Guild of America (EGA)
Smocking Arts Guild of America (SAGA)

She belongs to several local and not so local chapters of each of these but is the current President Elect of SAGA on the national level. That means sometime this fall (probably right in the middle of my hunting season!) she will be installed as the President at the National Convention in Atlanta. I think she plans on forcing my attendance.
