"DROP IT!"



"Drop it. Drop it. Drop it! .... DROP IT!"

If you train a parakeet, this might be what you awaken to in the wee hours of the morning. This is an example of how interesting our conversations were today at the Senior Center. We actually started with show and tell of things from the lace day on Saturday: pin cushions, bobbins, boxes, bags, fancy little cushions with the triangular sides, filled with crushed walnut shells (can't remember the name and it's too late to call anyone). Rhoda brought the bead order which included a "Boss Bag" (is that right??) for Betsy. It was filled with all sorts of treasures. We did eventually get down to work.

We filled the room with 5 lacers and 2 knitters. Prabha did both as she finished her Tenerife piece from the class at lace day and then got out her knitting. Kris worked on her wonderful travel pillow once again and then got out her latest hedgehog hat to knit while she enjoyed a cup of tea. Several women came into the room to investigate and were quite impressed with our work. Not one of them mentioned tatting. Caroline explained how to knit with fun fur to an experienced knitter.

There was discussion about the beach trip: a list of 73 rules were recorded and blood types were taken to optimize roommate options.   A whip will be used to assure maximum flexibility in attitude and work output.

Tidbits:

Cats can be trained to use the toilet, thus training their owners to pay exorbitant water bills.

"My brain said, 'Do it.' My body said, 'Don't!"

Rhoda thought she had the Houdini of mice in the laundry room.

Kris needs to find a name for Tux's tail as it clearly has a mind of it's own.

Grae's new dog is precious!

"I'm not a senior!" "No, you're a senorita!" :-)

As the afternoon ended, plans were made to meet for dinner before attending the EGA meeting to listen to Prabha's presentation on Indian Textiles.
