Private quilt show

I got up after Chris left for church, still sleepy. I drank vinegar water, and emptied the dishwasher except for the heavy stuff. I boiled water for nuts. I hung up the length of fabric that keeps the light off of the other fabrics. I made a tissue case. Then I was short on time so I rushed to get showered and dressed. I was walking down the street when the Firechief and his wife offered me a ride to church. After they dropped me off, I went upstairs to find Chris. He introduced me to the new commanding officer and his wife, but I did not know that's who they were. I sat with Jane for the service. I met our new neighbors during the passing of the peace. After the service, we all walked down to Turtle Cove for lunch sponsored by the chapel. Chris got in line while I was finding a place to sit with Jane. When I got in line the plates were all gone. I wandered around bit and then still no plates. When they arrived, I got in line. I got scrambled eggs, turkey, a hard-boiled egg, and some fruit. We sat with Jane and So Yung and her husband. After I ate, some one mentioned mashed sweet potatoes. So I went back for that. When I put my plate on the table, Jane used a spoon to section off 40% of the mash and asked if she could eat it. Okaaaaaay. Then she had someone take a pic of all of us together. I invited them to our house for Christmas bread. We rode in So Yung's van. I got out and ran ahead to clean up what I could before Chris opened the door for them. Chris showed them his books. I sliced up the bread and brought it out. The kids did not want any. We had a quilt show. They seemed to enjoy it. Then they left, gathering their kids who played outside most of the time. I changed my clothes, then picked up the tissue case I made this morning. I walked over to Linda's house to give it to her. We chatted for a little while. Then I came home, and Chris left to go to the commissary for milk (since Jane talked him out of the one we bought yesterday). While he was gone, I made breakfast. I ate it as we sat in front of our computers. We spent the afternoon that way. I took a break to make more ginger tea. I also did the weekend Sudoku puzzle, then formed it into a petal. Later I made a salad. I put up Command hooks on the other living room window. I let them sit for awhile, then hung the long swag up there. I thought two would look better than one, but putting up the second one did not noticeably change the feel of the room. I sat down and composed a letter on my laptop. Then I wrote it in a holiday card to Rebecca who sent me a long letter and a hand made card. My plan is to send cards to people who sent to me, and a few others, unless I run out of motivation after New Years. We sat on the couch to watch Cyrano de Bergerac, in the original French, with English subtitles worked into rhyme. So it rhymed in French and it rhymed in English, but they were not necessarily the same. Since it was almost 11, we went to bed.
