I woke up this morning thinking about a list I’ve mislaid…. It was a list of students whom I promised to send information to when I was in Coffs Harbor…I guess I have to do some creative investigating….
One of the nicest things about being a Tutor is the interaction with students, and after worrying about my list… I opened the computer…(not under the bed today but sedately in the breakfast room) and there was the most wonderful picture of a quilt made by a student in that class….
It makes it all worth while.

Pasco Washington…. That’s where I’m staying…On October 16th, 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped in the Pasco area, at a site now commemorated by Sacagawea State Park. The area was frequented by fur trappers and gold traders. In the 1880s, the Northern Pacific Railway was built near the Columbia River, bringing many settlers to the area. Pasco was officially incorporated on September 3, 1891. It was named by Virgil Bogue, a construction engineer for the Northern Pacific Railway, after Cerro de Pasco, a city in the Peruvian Andes, where he had helped build a railroad. In its early years, it was a small railroad town, but the completion of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1941 brought irrigation and agriculture to the area, as well as determining the site of a nuclear power plant at the nearby Hanford Site.
There are several quilt groups in this area… and I have been lucky to meet and share with a number of the ladies… we had a great class yesterday and a talk with lots of laughing last night…Today is rest day and a number of us are off exploring and I will take the opportunity to film….What more can I ask…?
