The very busy Indian Falls

Today, a large group of us went to Indian Falls. Apparently the place is usually empty. Today there were a couple hundred people there and the parking lot was full. It is amazing that so many people live in this area. Apparently a camp in Quincy was swimming there today. It was fun to see my Dad, Lucille and Brita all swimming. The weather although it is hot it is not as bad as yesterday.

Sharon Eccles:
The crafters made baskets today. Suzanne's sister in law, Diane Fuller, taught us how to weave baskets. She brought some really cool materials to weave with such as reeds, raffia, beads, iris leaves, yarns, ribbon and rope. Lucille's half completed basket looks like a hippie wig. Gwen, Sharon Lee, Becci, Marilynne, Heather, Jennifer, Julie Grace and Sharon Louise were the other basket weavers. We had a great time creating interesting shapes and now have a new appreciation for basket making. Diane told us that all baskets are made by hand.
