Hat decorating event

 

Saturday

I got up at 8. Chris was already up. I did the usual morning chores, like stirring the pineapple vinegar-to-be, but it should have been vinegar by now. Chris went to the Catholic service. I practiced and exercised. I checked e-mail. When he got back, he gave me a massage and we cuddled and talked.

When dressed, I ate my fiber gel. I collected up craft supplies that might be useful to decorate hats. I had Chris move some heavy boxes around so I could look for more. I brewed tea to feed the scoby that Michelle had given me.

Then I made and ate breakfast. Later I read outside because it was finally warm and sunny. It felt so good I almost fell asleep.

I came in and checked e-mail. I watched some videos. I posted for my blog for the last two days. I jotted notes for today. I carried most of my cleaning stuff to 211 and cleaned there for 2 hours. Then I went home to find Chris cooking ham. I helped with the garlic cream sauce for the potatoes. I texted John and Michele. They came over and we ate and talked. John LOVED the glaze on the ham.

Just before 7, I grabbed my bags of decorating supplies. John helped me carry them to the car. Saronna and her girls were waiting for me at the chapel. They helped carry bags in. I spread out the supplies on the tables in the fellowship hall and got out the hats. Several other people came, but they brought their own projects. I called Chris and asked him to bring me a glue gun that I forgot, plus a jacket. I thought he would send them with John and Michele, but he brought them himself. I was chasing down thread because it seems to have disappeared in the clean-up.

At 7:30, Elizabeth and Caleb arrived. So I went to meet them and set up the bells. When Keli arrived, we played through the two hymns for the following Sunday. Then Michele and John arrived. He laid down because he had eaten too much ham. But we got him back up so the bells could practice with the band. I dismissed the band and practiced with just the bells. After they left, I spent 45 minutes cleaning up all the hat-making supplies.

When I got home, we folded laundry, then made the bed. I rewatched a video on pineapple vinegar, then went to bed.
