On my flights to Tennessee I finished reading Tami Hoag’s new book “The 9th Girl”. I believe this is the 4th in the series with Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska who are investigators in Minneapolis. On New Year’s Eve the body of a young girl is found. The body has fallen from the trunk of a car. The case becomes know as Zombie Doe. The victim in unidentified and unidentifiable. They believe this death may be related to the “Doc Holiday” murders. “Doc Holiday” is the name the police have given to a serial killer still on the loose who kills his victims in one city and dumps them in another, always on a holiday. Liska’s son was friends with the victim and saw her the night before she was killed. This book definitely kept my interest from beginning to end.

This past weekend I visited The Village Quilter’s in Loudon, Tennessee. You can find out more about this guild by going to their website http://www.villagequilters.com
If you live within 400 miles of this guild you want to become a member! They have around 300 members and it is a very active group. They bring in national teachers on a very regular basis. When the members had their show and tell it was fantastic. But, the best part for me was when the members showed all of the charity quilts that were brought in this month. All I can say is….well done ladies!! I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again….I am always so impressed with the amount of charity work being done by all of the quilting guilds. You all deserve a pat on the back. My guild contact, Mary, was wonderful and she took very good care of me. Thank you Mary! The guild meets at the Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church and the church has a dog greeter! Boots, the dog, who’s owner lives close by, comes to the church whenever anyone is entering the church to greet each and every person. I loved Boots. I love dogs period.
I snapped just a couple of photos while I was in the area. There is a lake system and many of the homes sit on the lake and many of the home owners have a boat.
This week I am off to Long Island again and then to Spokane, Washington. Should be a fun week. Until next week……
