It's just amazing how much laundry two adult people and one adult dog can generate. I've been at it since early this morning and have barely made a dent. If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they invent clothes that clean themselves?
When we were on St. Thomas earlier this month, Vann bought me a Nikon D40 digital camera. I love it. I feel like a real photographer when I'm using it. I don't know half the stuff I can do with it yet (and likely wouldn't be able to do it if I did), but I'm having fun taking pictures anyway. I've read some of the instruction book but not all. (Haven't had time because of laundry! Yuk Yuk.) Anyway, all photos taken since about February 5 have been with the Nikon.
Here's a couple more pics I took at retreat with the Nikon.
Judy C. had a major malfunction with her miniature mariner's compass block. C. decided that it would make a great bra cup and modeled it for us. I wanted a picture, which C. agreed to only if I wouldn't show her face. I glady complied. But both of us forgot about her name tag, which came through clearly in the photo. I blacked it out though, and there's nothing else to identify her in the photo--I hope.
Everyone loved Judy W's original wallhanging design. (Click on her name for info about Judy's wonderful quilting book, Fabric Photo Play.)
Peggy R. worked on this gorgeous red-and-white Triple Irish Chain quilt all weekend. The center squares are machine embroidered flowers.
Joie modeled her original sweatshirt design.
This is Judy Cl.'s beautiful Spring Trees quilt. The blocks were made by various guild members for her whe she was president. (It seems I caught Judy with her eyes closed for this shot.)
This is Ruth Ann's wonderful cat quilt. 
The effects of the cruise, with round-the-clock acess to wonderful food and the long weekend retreat, with three meals a day and piles of treats occupying the same rooms as me have conspired to see that I gained back every single pound that I had lost since Christmas. I could just cry--except that I enjoyed the food so much, it's hard to be sad.
But today, I'm back on the wagon. Oatmeal for breakfast, 4 mini rice cakes and a cup of fat-free yogurt for lunch. I've made navy been soup for supper. I understand that legumes are a very good choice when trying to lose weight.
The weather is much warmer today, but I still haven't gone out for a walk. I'll do that before dark, though. I promise. I've already done my full 100 ounces of water for the day. Guess I better not drink anymore. One of my doctors told me I should not go over 100 ounces.
I just heard the washer stop. Better run down and reload.

Sophie must be a real clothes hound (hee hee) to generate so much laundry.

It sounds like your retreat was a lot of fun. Good luck with all your laundry!
