A lovely week

Wow, a relatively quiet week.... but there was something to look forward to each day.  Monday, Labor Day, was Steve's Chronicles of Narnia marathon.  We watched The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in the morning, Prince Caspian in the afternoon, and Voyage of the Dawn Treader in the evening.    We had a cookout for dinner with Steven, Tamara, Melanie, and Lizzy Crippen. Both Elise and Sarah had to work, poor things. 

Tuesday night, Columbia Civic Orchestra resumed rehearsals.  So great to be back.

I got a haircut Wednesday - I always love the results that I shouldn't wait so long between cuts. 

Thursday I went to Laura Josts in the morning.  It had been three weeks since I had been able to go.  We are almost to the end of the picture book project.  A little more glue-ing (I brought home a pile to glue) and then we assemble them next Saturday.   Laura has a lady in Jefferson City who machine quilts some of the tops that Laura and I make for humanitarian giving.  Here are two of the tops I made that she finished.  They turned out lovely.



 
 Thursday afternoon was POTTERY!!!!!  Yay!!!!!

Friday, Steve and I had a fun date - all day.  First, we dropped the truck at Walmart for an oil change and then we walked down to Culver's for lunch.  I am SO happy about Culver's gluten-free buns - they are delicious.  I eat fast-food hamburgers again :).  We continued our date that night by watching Magnificent Seven (the 60's version) while I glued pictures.  I believe it was my first time to see this film and I was struck by the Bug's Life and Three Amigos parallels. 

Saturday we drove to attend the Kansas City temple.  On the way, the truck rolled over to 200,000 miles! 


 
 
And, I finished my picture glue-ing in the evening while watching "I Robot". 

 Thursday and Friday we got almost five inches of rain.  We sure needed it!
