Finally got the big one

After my usual morning routine, I took the recyclables out, and headed to post. I picked up Cathy on the way. We arrived at the South Post Chapel almost on time. But we discovered that our room was full of tables - tables of kids taking an A.P. test. There was no sign on the door to warn us before we walked in. Ok, so we can use the room across the hall. But all the rest of the tables were in the fellowship hall intended for use by Club Beyond for their big lunch. However we took 4 of their tables 'cause we can't do a thing without tables. Lots of women came and we had a good turnout. Not everyone stayed for lunch, and the A.P. kids left at noon. So then we spread out into the other room for more table space. Mischa stopped by to present the quilt group with a LARGE multi-faceted crystal award for contributing two quilted items to the AFSC auction. You can't see it well in the pic, but trust me, it was beautiful!
Toni got a text from her husband that Osama was killed today. I understand that people were celebrating. But I don't feel right about celebrating someone's death, not even Osama. Did he deserve it? Did it have to be done? Maybe, but I find the situation kinda sad. I'll bet some of them celebrated when Americans died. Are we like them?
When I left the SPC, I drove to the little park and read for about 40 minutes. That's when some little kids arrived and the solitude departed. So I went home to find more solitude. I finished the block from yesterday, and signed a card to go with it. I put a book in a mailer for Janet, and then Chris came home. I got him to sign the card, too. We had supper and watched a movie called "Casino Royale". It is a James Bond film. It was a copy that the thrift store couldn't sell, and it was scratched. So I threw it away after we watched as much as we could. Then I washed up the Popsicle maker and some veggies to make my weekly batch of veggie juice pops. Of course there was some left over for me to drink. Then I cleaned the juicer and the sink, and the countertop and part of the stove top. I made Chris' sandwich, and now I am about ready to go to bed.
