The Local

Well, this is embarrassing. A few short weeks after deciding to keep everyone apprised of local activities, I have decided to stop.

Now that I am fully removed from the former quilt shop, I have no easy (emphasis on easy) access to the internet. It would cost way too much to get wireless Internet to my house. Dial-up is incredibly frustrating because of the antiquity of the phone system in Irby, and everybody I know tells me I would not like satellite. OK. I would probably just waste too much time surfing the net anyway.

So, this will be the last Local written by me. I am going to recommend that any readers who have events to promote, or just something good to say about Odessa, please send it to the Record! There is no reason for one person to do this.

One last exciting bit of information (for all quilters) is that there is apparently going to be a quilt store in Odessa once more! Brandy Manke of Reardan has purchased the remaining furnishings from Experience Quilts! and has arranged to rent the space. So look for a Grand Opening sign along about spring. She says she has lots to do before she can open.
