Paint Night filled fast

Tuesday

I got up at 7:30. Al and Cecily were already up and packed. He had breakfast and she played on her kindle. After 8 she asked for a cup to carry water and I gave her an empty kombucha bottle to take to the airport. Then they hugged and kissed me. They settled into the rental car and drove off about 8:30.

I watched more vinyl cut videos. I read some e-mail and Telegram messages. I got a text from Revonna so I headed to Headquarters. I waited until she finished a conversation. Then she showed me bookcases which the offices are looking to re-home. But not to individuals, just to another govt entity and apparently the swap shop counts.

After that, a lady gave me a vacuum still in the box, purchased for the use of the swap shop. So I carried it down the hall toward my car. I ran into Popken and Harwell. Popken carried it to my car. On the way, I got his permission to have Paint Night at the chapel. I went to the swap shop to drop off the vacuum. The lady had provided stickers saying Do Not Remove from Swap Shop. I unboxed the vacuum and assembled it just so I could put the stickers on. I also looked at the slatwall shelving. We were given so many accessories, that there isn't any room left for hanging.

I threw out the boxes. I went home. I ate fiber gel, then read messages. I posted the announcements for Paint Night. I asked Eryne for a pic of hers and she sent me a whole bunch. I picked one to add to the third post. I made and ate breakfast. I sewed a sample wallet, using denim and camo instead of quilting cotton. It was too bulky to turn inside out properly. I managed it, but the kids won't. Sigh.

I put on my bathing suit and laid outside in the sun, mostly reading. I sunned both sides of my body. I read online. I went to the chapel to meet Keli and Janet. We weeded vinyl iron-ons, then ironed them to shirts for the kids. They came out really nicely. Only took 90 minutes to make 11 shirts. I went home.

Chris came home from work. I placed the sprinkler in position in the yard and turned it on. I researched several supplements and decided who to order it from but the transaction would not go through. I called but no one answered. So I ordered from a different company. I moved the sprinkler. Then I went to the garden to water. I talked to Jenni on the phone. She asked me to water her garden too. I ended up hooking together all the hoses in a line to reach the gazebo and watered from there.

It was after 9 when I got home. Someone had asked for 6 seats at Paint Night. I made tea and we watched TV. Then he went to bed and I turned off the sprinkler and finished my blog.
