I got up 15 minutes earlier today than I usually do on Sunday. I wanted to get to church before everyone else so I could practice the song I was going to play before church on the baby grand piano. I wore my flowery jacket – the one I made in class last year. Everything went fine today. I made sure that no communion grape was set on the keyboard so there were no disasters there like last month.
When church was over I rehearsed a song with Larry P that he will sing for Mother’s Day. Larry H (team leader) has been gone for two weeks so Larry P has filled in for him. Larry H will be back Thursday night but Larry P won’t be there to rehearse with. So we’ll see what happens with that.
I stopped at the Burley Store for Bill’s Sunday paper and then drove to Barbara’s. We were able to squeeze all the hats into the box I took with me. I had 16 hats and I think she had 8 but hers were bigger and bulkier. It was after one by time I got home. The yogurt I ate at 6:30 had long since run out, even with the addition of a brownie between church services. I was a good girl and ate a nice healthy salad. Then Bill asked about going out for a drive since it was such a great spring day.
We drove over to Allyn and walked out on the pier. There was a huge school of fish by the pier. They were about six inches long and one guy on the pier said they were herring. Anyway, there were hundreds of them – maybe thousands. We drove over to Belfair and Bill went into Safeway and QFC checking on rib steaks and lobster tails for my Friday birthday dinner. They were having a great sale on the steaks at Safeway and they had the large lobster tails at QFC. So he told me to remind him to stop on the way back by – like I was going to get him off the hook for that! We drove out to North Shore State Park. This was closed from flooding last time we went there but it was open today so we walked out on the beach. The only thing of interest there was a bunch of small birds at the water’s edge.
I reminded Bill to stop for the steak and lobster on the way back through Belfair. We were getting hungry by then so we stopped into The Roadhouse for dinner. I had the fish and chips after being assured by the waitress they weren’t all batter and no fish like the one’s we had last Sunday when Barbara and I went to the Sunset Grill after the theater. These were excellent. Bill ordered the club sandwich on sourdough. When the waitress brought his sandwich, she said the sourdough bread was smaller than the bread they usually make the sandwich on so she asked if he wanted more. He said, “Sure” and they brought him another half sandwich. I managed to resist the triple chocolate raspberry cheesecake!
As we headed home Bill said, “It seems too pretty to go home yet.” I reminded him that I had been up since 6:15 and gone from home since 7:15 so home sounded pretty good to me! So here we are all settled in for the night. The hummingbird food has been replenished. My cyclamen is drooping yet it soil feels moist. I let it sit out in the sun while we were gone today and it looked worse when we got back than it did when we left. Oh well….
I finished the Caring for Kids hat that has been sitting here almost done for several days. I set it aside while I worked feverishly to have a goodly number of “Afghan” hats. On the road this afternoon I knit on the first of the next bunch of “Afghan” hats. I’m ready to do the six decrease rows and that will be done. Now I want to finish knitting the baby “waffle” afghan and get it to PRS so it is being useful instead of collecting dust here!
I came across this in my travels today. It is too cute not to share…
I was wondering….
Is it SPRING yet?
