I am trying to get all the loose ends tied up before I leave for Nebraska. I have the Johnny Depp version of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory on the Video. I really rather the version with Gene Wilder.
On the 21 April we had the Primary teachers inservice meeting. I do not know what they put in the bean dish, but it put my lights out and I could not stay awake. It was pretty boring and that contributed to my sleepiness I suppose.
We had community quilts at Las Fuentes on Monday. I went from start to the end because I have to learn how it works since I am in charge of this activity next year. At community quilts we make quilts from the fabric that has been donated to the guild from private fabric stash collections that people are no longer interested in keeping because they have moved on, and also, there are fabrics from quilters estates after they pass away. We are loaded with fabrics. It represents thousands of dollars spent on fabric but we must keep in mind that shopping for fabric is at times a sporting event and it can be a quest with no end, or it can be very comforting to just walk through the Quilt fabric shop touching each bolt and enjoying the color and textures there. It was quite an experience to work with the ladies at the community quilts - quilts that are given to hospice, women's shelters and court adoptions etc.
On Tuesday 23 April I had my 6month checkup with the skin specialist. He loves to shoot Nitrogen onto people to burn off skin lesions - and I am convinced that he finds lesions when there are none to be found - he has to make some show so that he can charge Medicare a packet.
At 11am I met Lorraine, a lady from Richfield, Utah, who is some distant relative that I met on My Heritage.com. She is form Australia and we had a grand old chat at Chipotle, over lunch. I was very happy to meet her and it was like we had known each other for years.
On Wednesday 24th April I went to lunch at the Resort with Wendy Wolf and her friend Portia. I met these two ladies some years ago at the YMCA - we took Tai Chi together. She re-introduced herself to me at the Quilt Show at Sharlot Hall Museum and invited me to have lunch - eventually we were able to settle on a date. It turned out to be a luncheon of the ladies from Yavapai Hills development. ON the table was a folder from Wells FArgo Bank and we were afraid that we would be given a big push to talk to the presenter about financial investments. That did not happen, Instead he had some sort of name in the hat game and t hey handed out prizes. The last name they pulled out was mine and I won the extra meal that had been paid for by the promoter, but the restaurant could not take it back, or sell it to someone else, and it was extra because someone did not come. I had a wonderful time visiting with Wendy and Portia. At the end of the meal a lady of Japanese descent stopped by to talk and we began in Japanese and it was really fun.
We got some sad news this afternoon. Our friend Elllis Clark died suddently.
Thursday evening we had a Relief Society meeting where they planned to play pickle ball over at Andrea's house. Well we started with the hors duevers (spelling?) and by the time they had been demolished they were supposed to go outside to play pickle ball but it was very dark, so we played some other games that they had. It was a good time for the ladies to just kick back and relax.
