Attended the quilt show after all

I heard my phone alarm ring at 8. I did not get up right away, but when I did, it was a little painful. I took a shower and fixed breakfast, which I ate in front of my computer reading e-mail. Chris was upset that I was going to help with the crafts in Sunday school like I promised even though my back hurt. I told him I would stay home if he went in my place, and he did, which surprised me. I laid down while he was gone. But he came back before church started. He said they only had half the kids they were expecting so it would have been fine for me to call in sick. I got up and dressed in shorts and t-shirt. We both read e-mail. I was wondering how to get him to give me permission to see the quilt show today, as it is the last day. I called Bertha just as she was getting ready to call me. She told me the bed-turning was at 1:30 and that she could pick me up at 1. I was waiting outside when she arrived. Chris did not mind. She dropped me off at the front of the Von Braun Center. I had pay even though I had already paid for the walkthrough. But it was worth it. There were many beautiful quilts. I was in time for the bed-turning which involved quilts from the 1850's to the 1950's. What concerned me was how they dumped the quilts in a pile on a table as they went through. Then I circulated around the room taking pictures. When I had seen them all, it was time to submit a viewer's choice. Impossible. They held drawings, but I did not win anything. I took a walk around the room to quickly view the vendors, and then we left. We'd been there for almost 3 hours. Bertha dropped me at home. Chris and I went to the grocery store. I bought Kerrygold grass-fed cheese. One of the audios from yesterday recommended it. The doctor interviewed eats 70% of his calories from fat, and the other is from vegetables. There wasn't time to get to the library, so I renewed the DVD's online with plans to return them tomorrow. I laid down to rest since I had been on my feet for so many hours. When I got up, I ate some cheese. Bertha came by with my quilts from the show. I read the judges comments. For two of them, it was as expected. But she seemed to think the corners on the third one were not 90 degrees, and that the quilting distorted the quilt. I will have to look at it more closely in daylight as I have never noticed either of those things. Chris and I watched two episodes of Forever Knight and went to bed.
