Thrift shop luncheon

I intended to go to the thrift shop early so I could stop by the post office beforehand. But getting everything ready to mail, collecting the recyclables, and preparing cheeses made me late. So I saved the post office trip for later. I shelved books until noon, and then we all had lunch together. MaryAnn sat with me and we kept each other amused. When the lunch was over, we went back to the bookroom, me to shelve, and she to arrange. There were a lot of books and I couldn't get to them all. Never mind the videos and DVD's. It was almost 2:30 when I left. When I went to the post office next door, I discovered that they are closed until May 16th for training. MaryAnn had to go too, so we both went to the main post office in my car. It did not take us too long in line. Just long enough for me to fill out the customs forms. I had planned to pick up some more small boxes, but forgot. I drove to the AnC center and MaryAnn walked to her car. I met Cathy and Mary while they were longarming a quilt. We talked about what we needed money to buy so we could put in a request for funds from AFSC. But then MaryAnn came in to tell us that the soonest AFSC could process funds would be late June and maybe not 'till July. So we decided to ask the thrift shop. When Cathy was finished longarming, we tried to adapt a design for my dahlia quilt. In the process we learned why it would be best to order designs already made specifically for dahlias. Then we all went home. Chris and Michele were already home by then. Chris made buffalo stirfry for supper. I spent the evening trying to decided which supplements I needed and order more. I also cleared and answered e-mail. One is from a lady in the states who wants to trade HST's 'cause she didn't get one from Korea in the exchange sponsored by TQS.
