I wanted to post this last night, but our dsl line went dead right in the middle of updating the SDA website. It didn’t come back until really late and I needed to get to bed so that I could get up and get to work at the office today.
Sunday was a great day:
- During church, Rose, our Rector’s wife, sang two solos. One was Duke Ellington’s, Come Sunday – Ooooh! I cried, of course!!
- Teluvia was in church and she and her family are moving back to Sonoma County. Her husband works for Whole Foods and he was transferred to Sarasota, FL. She and the kids were not happy there. She said she could not find a tribe like the one she has at Incarnation!! Her husband quit his job, they sold their house and came back here on blind faith. Whole Foods has come through big time and put him in their management training program. I love a company that understands that family is important.
- I went shopping in the afternoon and scored the Carol King Living Room Tour on sale at Borders. Two books to read at the beach next week: Colors Insulting to Nature by Cintra Wilson and Trace by Patricia Cornwell. I am a Dr. Kay Scarpetta junky. If I was starting college tomorrow, I would want to be a forensics anthropologist!!
- At Michael’s, I found these amazing stamps in the photo below.
- At Legendary Beads, I found some great baubles to embellish the Five Fancy Fish Frolic quilt while I am on vacation. I must get the machine quilting finished this week.
- Steve and I enjoyed a great supper of Caesar salad with grilled shrimp on the patio.
Of course then the dsl went down and it was downhill from then on.
Tomorrow is Pointless Sisters. Debra is coming. There will be photos!!
Mmm, nice purchases… I especially like the rubber stamps. Some good textures there, I imagine.
