Just another day in Pittsburgh......

So, did we tell you our hotel is in the Strip District!?! We're not sure what that means but.......we have to follow the arrow to get to it.
Barb and I were up before the rooster crowed this morning to take a class with Lesley Riley on the uses of Lutradur. It's made by Pellon and you would best know it as the stuff they put on the bottom of your box spring or the underside of chair seats. Chester and George held up the wall while we did our projects.

It's neat stuff and if we can figure out something useful to do with it we'll consider getting some in the store. Certainly something to think about.

We spent the rest of the day checking out some great booths at the show and then went to a seminar with Charlotte Angotti.

She wasn't sure whether to have us locked up or just go with the flow as we got the boys comfortable on their chair to sit and listen to her lecture (pearls of wisdom).

Charlotte has a great sense of humour and if she ever wants to give up quilting (not likely) she would definitely make it in stand up comedy......we introduced her to Chester and George and she willingly posed with the boys and Barb.

By the time we got out of the Convention Centre we were all ready for dinner (8:30 P.M. - that would be the 8:30 Barb and I are familiar with - the P.M.). We decided to head for the OG again (Olive Garden). This time the boys were on their best behaviour and were allowed to come in. While we read the menu they drooled over the dessert offerings........

As soon as the salad arrived they jumped on the bowl.....

George wanted us to order another plate of the Stuffed Mushrooms......

Chester decided to stay on my side of the table to see if he could help me with my Steak Gorgonzola Fettucini......

.....and George has decided he loves Chicken - namely Stuffed Chicken Breast with Marsala Mushroom Sauce and Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes.......Chester is not impressed! George however is in heaven.......

Dessert was Lemon Cream Cake.......divine! The boys were rooting for one of those chocolate desserts but Barb and I got the final say......

Got back to the room around 10:30 P.M. and no sooner did we turn around but caught George raiding the cookie jar......

The T.V. went on, Barb got comfy on the couch and I lied down on the bed for a short nap and slept straight through until 6:30 A.M. - we are ready to go for another day!

Happy Quilting!
