Have sleeves hemmed on the NCL robe Ted bought me for my birthday on the cruise ship. I swear an orangutan would find them too long. The material is too thick for me to cut the six inches off before hemming so off they go to the seamstress.
Now doesn't everyone feel better about the economy? I'm not sure Ted does.
Our constant coming and going makes it difficult to get jobs around the house done either by ourselves or someone we hire. The house is 11.5 years old and just needs some TLC. We only have about 10 weeks before we leave again and both Thanksgiving and Christmas are in that timeframe so I don't expect things to settle down anytime soon.
I spent most of the week at home coordinating our undertakings but I did play Canasta on Monday afternoon. I came in last and got my $1 back! We met Jay and Stella for dinner on Wednesday when they arrived back in Texas. Friday night was dinner and our season ticket play night. We saw Crimes of the Heart and it was very good. Neither of us knew the storyline so it was totally new to us.
While I was busy stimulating the economy Ted worked two fund raiser shoots at the gun club. The Pregnancy Center was on Thursday and 4H on Saturday. We went to church Saturday evening and Ted will do his own shooting on Sunday.
I will carry on in his absence. The stores will be open!
