    Likely somewhere in Petaluma, CA, where Elsie lives. It's a beautiful place forty miles north of San Francisco and only a coastal mountains drive away from Point Reyes National Seashore and other stunning places.

    - and constantly corrects your posture and how you're holding the kilt-in-progress -

    Can I come for only part of the course? Petaluma is not a hardship (my mother lives there after all), but 5 days off in a row, after this vacation I'm currently on, might be hard to pull off.

    Count me in...I'll figure out the time off somehow.

    Be well,

    You forgot "who walks around after everyone else is done for the night, inspecting their work, and if she doesn't think the pleats are up to snuff - she takes them out."

    But still worth every penny.
