Had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends and phone calls to all my family. Can't believe it is almost time to leave for the States for Christmas.
Not much quilting going on at the moment, but I will soon be planning a couple of Linus quilts and trying to decide how to proceed with my star quilt.
Much of my time lately has been taken up in reading. I have finished a biographies of the Brontes, Tecumsah, and Tennessee Williams. It is very strange to think about him being a cousin--very distant, but still a cousin. Now I will have to read the plays and poetry. It does stir up feelings about writing again. I just don't seem to have that real drive that says I HAVE to write to survive. Still, I do get inspirational urges now and then for a poem. I have no idea how to do playwriting. I should have taken a class while I was in the creative writing program at WMU.
Anyway, two weeks from today we will be flying to Chicago and then Kalamazoo. I do hope the holiday goes well and that everyone more or less gets along. Family gatherings can be so stressful. Maybe there will be some material for poetery there.
