On Thursday night Ted and I joined Gary and Katie for their oldest Grandson's football game. Their Grandson Cade had a good game, but we felt sorry for the team they played. They are such a small school they didn't even have enough players for a separate defense and offense. Some kids played the whole time! The score was 54 to 0. They almost scored but didn't make it. After the game we went to dinner at Timberline. Every time we go anywhere with Gary and Kate, they always know several people. The result of living in a small town all your life and being very involved in the community.
On Friday Ted and I had some errands to run and I got my nails done. In the nail salon was a gentleman getting a pedicure. He looked at me and said I think I know you! I mentioned Gary & Katie's name and he realized we met at dinner on Wednesday night! I felt like I fit right in!!!! Friday night we joined Gary and Katie at a charity dinner for the Presbyterian Manor. Aunt Lucille (my ex-husband's aunt) had lived there when they came and got her from California. We had quite a nice dinner.
Today was Katie's quilt group, the "Silver Needles" quilt show that she and her team have been working very hard on. One of the ladies had a cancellation and so Katie invited me to tag along. The quilts are amazing, so much hard work and time.
We had a wonderful lunch of salad and wraps, that they did themselves. And of course numerous kinds of homemade cookies for dessert! Each hostess was responsible for decorating her own table. There were a couple decorated for Christmas, an Alice-in-Wonderland table, a pin cushion antique shoe table, fiesta ware table and more...
After lunch there was an auction of 59 items to raise money for the group. They use the money for charitable purposes in the community as well as for their group. I bid on several things but finally was successful bidding on a Christmas Table Runner. It was a fun day!
Having fun and giving to charity...
"Ain't Life Grand!"
