October 9
The weekend was fun. What I most enjoyed was the lack of structure. The only time there was anything scheduled was meal time. And the food was phenomenal. We had scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, ham, pancakes, French toast, homemade syrup, jam and honey. For lunch we had the best tomato bisque and ham and cheese croissants. For supper we had chicken fajitas with home made salsa and pico di gala. And we had tea time on Saturday afternoon with yummy apple bars and other bars and quick breads.
I arrived about 7:45 on Friday night. Most people had crafts to work on and they were all working on their crafts and chatting. It was nice to just sit there and listen and participate in the conversations. And everyone was very nice. I enjoyed the company.
On Saturday morning I went for a bike ride, but it was soooo windy that I was only gone about an hour. I had hoped to be gone longer. Later in the afternoon I went for a walk with a few of the ladies.
Most of the women (there were 11 of us) were older and extremely out of shape and over weight. They were not very mobile. In fact one of the women fell and dislocated her knee and I was the only one near who was mobile enough to try to help her. I was going to take her to the hospital, but we couldn’t move her so we had to call an ambulance. It really makes me want to get back in shape and lose the weight I have gained. I don’t want to be like them, ever. Getting up from the sitting position was a struggle for many of them. Very sad.
One woman was working on hardinger. Very beautiful work. I would never have the patience to do it. Another was making a braided rug. I talked to her for quite a while and I’m going to make one for Mom for Christmas. I think one for the kitchen for her to put in front of the stove or sink. I know she wants to redo the kitchen so I will need to find out if she is going to keep the same color schemes so I know what fabric colors to get. I would like to make one for Eleanor too, but I don’t know if she would like it or not. She had braided rugs in her kitchen so she might like it if I made one for her to place in front of the sink. I guess I’ll ask Rob what he thinks about it.
So anyway, I think I would go back next year. And Pat was talking about organizing something for January or February.
Tomorrow I’m getting the prep work done for my bridge. I’m excited to get the bridge and have a full set of teeth I can use to smile.
Rob took apart the mattress and put our old one back on the bed yesterday. I really slept poorly last night. I was stiff every where. I guess we’ll have to spend the weekend shopping for a new mattress again. We’re also thinking about going to Taylors Falls for the day and hiking around and possibly take our Christmas photo. Melinda is going to be in Blaine this weekend as well, so I should contact her to see if she plans to stop by our house.
Let’s root for a great week.
