What a surprise! She had a student who had to leave early and wouldn't be there for the Post Conference classes. I had met this lovely lady while there earlier. She gifted me her classes. When I found this out, I started looking for a hotel.
I found a hotel nearby and in my price range -although at the higher end of it. I was ready to book when I got a text on my cell phone. It seems the conference organizer asked a lady who lives in the local area if she had an open room I could stay in. This is a lady who was taking a class and weaving a lovely scarf on the day I bought my loom. She and her husband were an absolute delight! I chatted with both of them on Sunday evening over supper. Then, of course I chatted with her during free times at the class and in between classes. It was a delight.
I learned so many things that I can do on my loom.
Here is a picture of Masako during the design process.
Masako smiled most of the time we were there. She clearly is a joyfully creative person. I know that the creative process brings much joy into my life. My wish is that you have the joy of creativity in your life also.
I will have more pictures from these classes as I have time to process them.

what an awesome learning experience for you Gene, and so happy you found friendly housing too-so excited for you!
Isn't it humbling and exciting when we are gifted by people who are so willing to give? It is a double blessing. May we all look around and be aware of who to bless and extend grace to. It sounds like you were able to learn and go miles ahead in your understanding and skills. Thanks for sharing.
It was truly meant to be that you could attend the class and have affordable housing. I'm sure you will be showing us some wonderful things in the future.
Great luck ending up in the classes. And ou will put all that information to use I am sure.
It is amazing how lucky you are but I am a believer in "What goes around comes around" and you are one of the most awesome people ever.
