Today we woke up to rain! It didn't come down as hard as I thought it might. In the summer monsoon season the rain can be so heavy that it's hard to drive in and roads get flooded. Rivers, in fact, flow. The sun came out by noon and the sky was all blue. I was inspired to walk to a fabulous quilt shop. OK, it's not like Quilt Works NW in Bellevue. It is about 1/4 the size, but has nice things and friendly staff. I looked around to get warmed up for the quilt show I'm going to on Friday. By the time I left the shop, dark clouds rolled in and covered the sky. I was worriedthat I would be unable to make it home before rain came. I made it, though. It didn't rain around our house again. More rain is expected this week. I'm hoping it will be a gentle rain.
Tonight I went to an ASG NG meeting at the Art Institute. An instructor in the clothing design program talked to us. She explained the curriculum, took us on a tour of the facility, and invited us to some up coming events. She also asked if any of us would like to be a sewing mentor for a young student who needed some help with sewing basics. Students come into the program not knowing anything about sewing. They just want to design clothes and have other people make them. The instructor insists that they learn to sew in order to make sure their designs are carried out correctly. At this meeting I saw some people I met before at other meetings. It feels good to start making new friends. The hardest part of being in Tucson is missing my friends back in WA.
