A GREAT BOOK

 Walter Lord interviewed 60  survivors  from the Titanic. He tells all about how no body believed the ship would sink. The water was terrible cold and many swam till they were lifted in to life boats.Some of the people were very rich one lady left over $11,000.00 worth of jewelry on the ship. One man $200,000.00 in stocks and $400,000.00 in bonds. The ship that finally got their signal did not believe they needed help.THIS IS A GREAT BOOK if you are interested in the TITANIC.. This has the list of passengers. Real names of the persons and their experience of what they lived through. I also read THE GIRL WHO CAME HOME  the names were changed in that book Hazel Gaynor wrote the book it is great too how a lady never told her story till her Great Grand daughter wanted to write about it for college credit.

NOVEMBER

 November is here and the chill is in the air. I spent a week end with Park View  Christian Church Ladies at a quilting retreat at Round Lake near Loundonville. I had a wonderful time making new friends and taking 7  classes. I made some more pot holders. I learned how to make the 10 minute table runner, which took me 6 hours in between all the classes. Made a Sewing Tool Caddy.  I also worked on my Wedding Dress Blues Quilt. I taught a class on making a  wallet to hold credit cards, Steno Pad cover, and grocery bag holder. It was an enjoyable 4 day week end.
