After All the Classes

Three days of classes, 24 in one and 48 in another, 18 hours of standing up talking, answering questions, telling stories, it’s time to party. The only problem is my the time we have the big party at Ruth E.’s house I am just exhausted.

The highlight of the evening is always Laura Peterson’s baked Mah Jongg tiles. This year’s version were sour dough crackers, make in her toaster oven. She makes a full set of painted tiles and they taste yummy too!

I do my best to stand up and talk to people, but eventually I just give up and hold court on the sofa.

Thankfully everyone is so nice and just comes and talks to me.

What a nice group of people. I will never tire of teaching here as long as they will have me.
