Continuing Drama
Those of you that have been downtown in the last 2 weeks know that our window is still not fixed. I must have been windowless in a past life and am having to relive some of that drama now.
Robin, KeriAnne and I set off on May 31 to attend the TNNA Fall trade show in Columbus, Ohio. The day before we left I had spoken with the glass company and was excited to learn that they were ready to install the window that Thurs or Fri. I was only sad that I wouldn’t be here to see it go in. As I sat on the plane to Columbus I dreamed of returning to the store with sunlight streaming through the clear, clean glass of a brand new window.
On Friday morning I was taking a crochet class with Dharma Raymond. I was happily and industriously creating a piece of shadow crochet, thinking about teaching this method in a workshop this summer when to my surprise my cell phone rang. My husband was calling to tell me that the glass company had just called him to say that they had broken the window when they were getting it ready for installation and that it would take another 2 weeks before they could get another piece of glass and install it.
I’m surprised the entire convention didn’t arrive to see what the yelling and wailing was all about. It took a while, but I finally calmed down and found that zen place. I can’t control this, so I must go with it. Today the glass company told me that the glass was due to arrive next Wednesday. I sure hope that by next Friday I will be once again watching the traffic on Pleasant St through a plate glass window.
In the meantime the three of us had a wonderful time at the trade show. We are excited about the new fall things, some of which will be coming before fall. I will begin to show you these things and to talk more about them in the next session. Happy Knitting and remember to watch for a new window display.
