Thanks for calling me with the information regarding the Sew Boat Retreat in Sept. What would be a good time to arrive on Thur. to attend the Boat Party?
And, when does the Retreat end on Sun. in case I decide to return home the same day.
For Judy: I would very much appreciate it if you would have a sewing machine available for me to use, as mine is too heavy to bring.
I would appreciate an e-mail response to these questions prior to my making plane and hotel reservations. Thank you.
