House, 'napkins', meetings

[helwen]

fitzw found water in the basement Saturday morning. Decided it wasn't too serious (as in immediate danger) so we left it that way until after the event. Checked it again when we got home, and he's pretty sure it's the water heater. Monday he'll call the maintenance folks and find out if the liner can be replaced or if the whole thing has to be replaced.

Had a "napkin" find at Ocean State Job Lot on Friday while I was out getting other stuff for Yule. Linen/cotton placemats, off-white, only .50 each. Bought 20. Was amused to see gwynt_y_storm's friends and family using same ones at Yule, as tablecloth protection (as has been noted in a couple of things I've read recently about tablecloths). I'm planning on washing them up and seeing if they'll work as napkins. In theory they should soften up enough, but if not I'll use them for gift wrapping or something.

Chena River Marblers open studio sale. Was all psyched to go, but today we're pretty tired. We've gone nearly every year since we first met them several years ago, but decided a nap was a better idea.

I have a Revels meeting this afternoon, and fitzw's going to the regional fighter practice. Should be a fun meeting; I'm looking forward to brainstorming and seeing what people have been doing!

It was an incredible pleasure meeting you over the weekend. I wish I could have stayed longer and not missed the feast. But there will be other times. :)

And wonderful to meet you as well! It's always nice to put a face, voice and name together. LJ and email have many good features, but nothing replaces seeing a person in real life :)
