I am responding to Bev's questions and some of Veronics's observations. I was 40 when I went to my first convention in Bethesda. My kids were old enough to take care of themselves and that was my only week of vacation for the year (Scrooge for a boss). My family was very supportive. Since then I have changed jobs, get more vacation and have a little more disposable income and have attended 4 IOLI conventions. Can't attend this year, youngest child graduating and going off to school, no disposable income. Will be attending next years. Veronica, your comment about the day off in the middle. I used to agree with you on that. I wanted as much lace time as I could get!! You will find that you are so immersed in lace for that whole time that you need that time to regroup. You are up early, stay up until all hours of the night doing homework or gabbing, there are night programs that you must see, IOLI meetings to attend. Your mental capacity is stretched. Take advantage of that time to rest or regroup then come Thursday you appreciate your lace class a little more. I envy all that are attending this year make sure you check in when you return to let us know how it went. Deborah Redman Newfield, NY
