Watch Out For Flying Icecream Cones!

July 29 Blog

The morning turned into afternoon faster than normal. No one even sat down before we had to leave to meet at Alladin's. Worries of finding a table for 8 were needless since we were about the only patrons there. So we tried to make enough noise with our chatter and laughter to fill the void. If only there had been paper and pen handy to help recall what was said.... We thought about ordering Sally the hummus plate, but no one wanted to eat it. Sue wanted something small so she ordered the chicken salad filled pita which would have fed all seven of us.

Travel quests were shared:

Rhoda had a ball shopping at a mall in Toronto (NOT); enjoyed drinking and eating her way thru the weekend; will be knitting two more sweaters, however, they will be plain/boring; Rachel insisted that she get exact measurements and not just go with medium or large - we requested a video clip of the measurement taking.

Sue was wearing a lovely outfit bought especially for her trip to Phoenix. Her tan set off her beautiful silver jewelry that she convinced her family to buy her (last year).

Carolyn's trip to DC went well and she had a good time (hopefully - can't actually read the notes).

Kris was exceedingly proud of herself for having climbed a "fourteener" while in Colorado. If she had known what was actually going to be happening, she would have waited at the trail head and read a book. It's worthwhile to note here that Hugo has a new love: his trail runners.

It was great to have Betsy join us. She has the "pathetic invalid" act down to an art, as shown in the photo. The healing process on the outside is going well, but the inside nerves seem a bit confused. The other hand will need to wait. 

Discussions became pretty serious as the lace makers shared thoughts about governments roll in social issues: guns being allowed in restaurants that serve alcohol, drinking raw milk, using antibiotics in chicken feed. It was interesting to hear that the government required children to wear acidity bags when polio spreading.

Carolyn shared her experience of taking a "Drive Sharp" tutorial. The objective is to help you think fast, improve your peripheral vision and the elasticity of your brain. Carolyn has agreed to be our driver when we all flunk the tutorial.

Maybe she'll drive to the beach when we go on our 1st annual "Lace making at the beach" retreat. Information will follow about this. (Let KSC know if you'd be interested in joining.)

In closing, think about this: wouldn't it be interesting if there were driers that we could step into and come out wrinkle free, 2 sizes smaller, and smelling Downy fresh?
