Quilt exhibition

I set my alarm for 7am, but got up a little earlier. I showered, and ate breakfast with only a glance at e-mail. It was 7:45 when I left here for post. I drove to the Elementary school and parked across the street. I went into the office to sign in a get a badge. Sadly I could not remember the name of the teacher I was going to volunteer for. But they had a list, and I was able to pick out the right one. I was quite early, so I sat and watched while she did the morning review on the smart board. I wish I had had one of those when I was teaching. Finally it was time to do centers, and mine was on the floor. I told the kids I was too old to sit on the floor and one of them got me a chair. They sat on the floor in front of me with their whiteboards. I wrote addition problems on mine and they solved them on theirs. They were learning to carry the 1 to the tens place. Most did quite well. When it was over, the teacher asked me for a list of names who needed extra help. I must have done ok because she asked me to come back next week.
Then I went to the salon to get my hair cut. That was followed by a trip to the bank, and then I went home. I only had an hour to do e-mail and then I went over to the commissary to meet other quilters to go to the quilt show. At least three had dropped out, but we still had a group of four, and Toni drove. It was at the Seoul Art Center. It was not a big show, but it certainly showed a lot of talent and hard work. I took pictures before my camera batteries died, but now my camera will not turn on, even with freshly charged batteries so I can't show you the pics. We had a good time, although it was hard to choose one for the Viewer's Choice Award. Then we drove back, slowly, through lots of traffic. When I got back, I decided to start sewing the scraps I was given on Monday. I decided to do a chevron design in two long rows. That pretty much took up the rest of the day and evening. When Chris came home, he was carrying boxes. Some had the new cutting mats in them, and two others had Christmas presents from my parents. Before I sat down to do my blog, I called my parents through Skype to thank them. Mom says she is doing well. That was not the impression I got from my father. God bless them both.
