Okay…I
have a beef when people say there’s nothing to do in Lake Chapala
during the low season, April-September. I just want to say, “what planet on you
on?” No, there’s no Little Theater and the concerts could be few and far
between, but none of us have to sit around if we don’t want to.
I
was recently trying to get in contact with Marianne O’Halloran about the
Quilting Guild. I finally found out why she was so hard to get in touch with
when she emailed me back, “The guild is somewhat active – totally new people
running it. I go to some meetings; they have downsized but do have some
new members this summer. I’m still quilting like crazy but also doing stained
glass, cooking for CASA [Culinary Art Society of Ajijic, a group that's been
tickling our taste buds since 1986], joined ASA [Ajijic Society of the Arts] and am a Cruz Roja volunteer
(Mexico’s Red Cross], etc., etc. It’s been a little crazy this summer. And
I went to Saudi for two weeks last March and had a great time. Quilt Festival
in Houston
comes up in two months in October.”
