Weekend Wrap-up

I have a lot of little bits to say, I guess.

Friday was a day off work, Dawn was planning on coming down and making cards with me, but she had a nasty cold and decided to get some well-needed rest instead. So, I spent the day folding laundry, reading, sweeping the floor, following up on phone calls (my boss is away) and making a couple of gifts - a money holder out of a library card pocket and a composition book for a friend.

Saturday - Our Book Club went on a field trip to visit one of our members who has moved to downtown Portland. It was a fabulous trip - we rode the train to Portland, walked to her loft, had a great homemade meal, then went to Powells to pick up the next book, and shopped, ate, browsed galleries, and drank before getting back on the train home.

Sunday - After Liturgy, our Church School classes made Advent Chains as the Nativity Fast begins tomorrow, and then the boys went to the Mousethief house, while Mrs. Mousethief and I went to a wedding shower. It was lovely and there were great games. Sadly, my team took over 2 minutes in Pictionary; the winning team took about 46 seconds. It's harder than it looks. Finally, getting to home, we had pinto beans that Eddie cooked while we were away, I read the paper, the end of The Historian, and then watched a lovely retrospective on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s. I wanted to watch the new PBS Masterpiece Theater on Queen Elizabeth I, but it wasn't on our station. (Did anyone see it, was it good?)

I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Veteran’s Day weekend as well.
