Astor Tea Party

It was a beautiful warm day for the Tea Party. Liz went with me so that was nice. I wear a dress and heels so seldom, that it's fun to dress up once in awhile. As it is so warm, my feet didn't hurt so I could wear my sandel heels. The meal was great, but we didn't win anything on the many raffels or door prizes. My usual luck is holding up. The theme this year was Down on the Plantation. The food was fried chicken, greens, beans and many salads and of course a hugh table of desserts. The entertainment was a black lady to spoke about slavery.

Fat Tuesday

Being the topic of the week seems to be on flashing, I had to add my story. Sunday we went to the nursing home to visit Catherine. There was an eldery man sitting outside in a wheel chair with alot of Marti Grais beads around his neck. I thought "NO I'm not flashing you". He probably would have been the only one desperate enough to appreciate the it.
What are you giving up for Lent? Our church said fasting for those under 59, that's one good thing about getting old. As Publix has butter pecan ice cream on sale this week I don't think the Big H is sacrificing that. I have the Tea on Saturday, so I know I'm not giving up desserts. No meat on Wednesday and Friday means I'll be going to Essex for shrimp.

Monday Feedback

There is a weather program on here every 15 minutes, and there isn't any weather. I complained today that it was 68 degrees and the sun shines every day. It's a rare day when it doesn't shine.
We pay Lotto twice a week, and we play our lucky numbers. We haven't had more than 2 numbers right. I guess they aren't lucky numbers than. I haven't won anything in Bingo for 2 weeks.
Deb, I'm glad the house loan got approved, now you can panic about the next thing on your list. I've been there. I know how it goes, but it sure is nice when you get to move into a new house.

Friday Odds and Ends

The air is cool today, I just feel like I want to go down to the dock and curl up in the sun and take a nap. I let the better half go golfing by himself, but I do need to go for a walk.
I laughed at Jen's "old underwear", mine was just the opposite. I decided when I reached a certain weigh I would buy new cute matching underwear, I did, but now the body it's on doesn't look very good. Don't know when or where I'm going to wear it, but it was fun buying it.
I bought a pattern to make a quilted purse, I have to do a demonstration for quilting class for May. I've made a big bag, but wanted a smaller one. It should be cute. I need to find 2 magnetic snaps before I go any farther.
I have done some work on the cookbook. I don't have anywheres near enough recipes. I'm trying not to put any more than 5 from any one person. That means I need to have 50 to 75 people giving me recipes. Because it's coming from my family it has alot of cakes, and desserts. I don't want just any recipe, I want good ones. I have alot of people who haven't participated yet. You know who you are.
The last week of February, can spring be far behind?

My Winter Project

It's time to show off our projects. This was a kit I bought at the quilt show this fall. All the materials were in the kit, I just had to cut and sew. Two of my friends bought the same kit, so I will be anxious to see theirs. Mine is hand quilted and I know they will have theirs done by machine quilting.

Yes They Did

We went to the theater at Eustis for "The Full Monty". They did a good job on it, and we both enjoyed the show. We had second row center front seats, but the first row was used by the cast as part of the show, so I guess we were front row and had a good view. There was plenty of bare butts and only a brief flash at the end, but they did it all. The show has been a sell out and another weekend has been added. This was opening night.
I did some shopping, geocaching, and out for dinner, so it was an enjoyable day.
The warm weather is returning today.

Happy Anniversary to Deb & Tim

Windy Wednesday

It's windy and cool today, a high of only 50. There is supposed to be a hard freeze tonight. I'm hoping it's the end of the cool weather. We went to the market today. I bought some fun (cheap) earrings, I hope to wear them for the Lady Astor's Tea Party the end of the month.
It's too cool to golf today so the Big "H" is putting a new tire on Tom's trailer.
I'm sure glad to see them get rid of "Joelle" on the Biggest Loser", she was so annoying. I will be so glad to see the new shows start. I watched Medium Monday night, but fell asleep on the last 10 minutes. I hate when that happens. It doesn't come on until 10:00 here and I'm having trouble ajusting to that l more hour.
Friday is The Full Monty. Jen wanted me to take a picture, but I think they would frown on that. I've got front row seats, so will be able to see it all, if they show all.
