Ladies Night In

Thursday

I got up before 7:30. I took supplements, etc. and checked e-mail. I broke down boxes for recycling. I found a stove manual online, and learned that the griddle is cast iron and needs to be seasoned.

At 9, I went to Bible study. We talked about questions that were raised last week and did not get to read more from the book of John.

I went home to check e-mail. A message from Saronna said she wanted to get in the swap shop. So I went to open it. I invited Saronna over to pick dandelion heads later. Then we both drove over to ACS to see Keli's puppies at the library.

I ate fiber gel and laid out in the sun. Then I came in to make breakfast and watch The Highwire. I also posted for Math Morning. Then I texted Eryne to ask what I was supposed to bring to her house. When I didn't hear back, I drove over there. I got her text just as I arrived, so I went home for the hole punch. I went back to her house. We made 2 sled kites according to instructions on a website. I used sticks the size of chopsticks and she used straws. I decorated my kite. We flew them, decided they looked like ghosts. We took pics of her daughter flying one. We decided who does what and went home.

I washed and wrapped the stove griddle in tin foil. I finished watching The Highwire. I got ready for Ladies Night and ate some ground beef. Since so many were going, I asked Chris for a ride. We picked up Michele and headed up to the house on the hill.

He dropped us off and we met Suna walking up. I ran the doorbell and Ria let us in. Many ladies were already there. There were drinks and I had lemonade. I talked to a bunch of people. Then we got plates and picked up food from the spread. It was lovely! Janet took pictures. Basically there were almost 20 women and we talked in groups.

I moved between the groups, keeping an eye on Michele. Then we gathered into a group for a photo. Then the colonel's wife had us go around the room and say one interesting thing about ourselves. Then we settled back into groups. She turned on music and the disco lights. I danced with that group for a bit, then sat back down with the couch group. Michele disappeared. Apparently she called John to pick her up. Finally Michelle took me home. I spoke to Chris, then worked on my blog while he went to bed.
