I walked with Beth early Thursday morning (4/12) then took off to pick up Jan and head down to The White House.  This is a beautiful, old house that sells Jim Shore figurines and fabric.  About 20 of our quilt group headed there for shopping (after dropping off charity stuff at the Pregnancy Crisis Center and the Children’s Home) and lunch.  Shopping was good and lunch was FABULOUS!  For $5 we got cheese and crackers for an appetizer, then assorted rolls, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, turkey, chicken salad, egg salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, something to drink…and chocolate cake and cheesecake for dessert!  Unbelievable!

It’s Sunday morning now and I’m trying to remember the rest of last week!  We saw Natalie Cole on Friday night and my knitting students came over on Saturday morning…otherwise it’s been a peaceful, relaxing time!  Michael golfed in the morning (got an 89) and went to Rock Hill Sunday night to turn in his script for the Shakespeare play.  He decided that it was just too much on top of everything else he is doing.  And since the play doesn’t come up for 9 weeks, it gives the director more than enough time to find someone else to fill the part.  He felt bad about dropping out, but the director was very gracious and told him that she understood and didn’t want someone on stage who felt that uncomfortable.  When Michael came home he said he felt like a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Monday morning (4/16) dawned with bad news…a friend’s husband ended up in the hospital in the wee hours.  He had lost a lot of blood from an unknown source and as of right now (Tuesday morning) they still hadn’t figured out what was going on.  I had a volunteer meeting Monday morning, a machine embroidery meeting Monday afternoon and a meeting with the accountant (taxes….ugh!) later in the afternoon.  Michael came home from golf with an 82 and when he went to the movies in the evening, I visited with my friend to do a little cheering up!
