This was such a nice afternoon, and it did me so much good to get out and be with people close to my own age. Not that my fellow quilter is not a bunch of fun, but so is Mah Jongg.
Ryan and Emily still have their car in for repairs, and the girls had an ortho appointment today, so my car was not available. I wasn't worried though. I have options. I decided I felt like walking on this beautiful day, and Noreen went along to keep me company. We crossed the street in front of our apartments and had a full downhill path of sunshine all the way to town. There was just a little breeze and a chill in the air, but it was great once we started. We parted outside the Y entrance, and she left to walk home by the school, hoping to catch a glimpse of her Dom playing outside on the playground. We're hopeless when it comes to these kiddos.
We had two new people show up to play with us, and they weren't even from the new class. What are the chances that two people would move to this small town who are both experienced players and ready to fit right in? Jen and Kathy were welcomed right in and actually kept us on our toes. We had 5 people at first, so the winner sat out and let the other 4 play, and that worked out fine. Then we had the 6th one come, and we still just got up and down and sat out and watched the other players. It was all fun, and I'm sure hoping they come back. I can't remember who all won. I know I won the first game and then gave Kathy my seat, who promptly won that one! Jen and Elissette won one game apiece, but we were all within 1 or 2 tiles every time. It was a fun day. Gina with Gabriela came in just to visit and bring some brownies, and it was good to see her. I believe she played one hand before she had to go.
Sharon dropped me off at home afterwards. She was going to play Rummikub at the winery down the street, but I was ready to be home so didn't go with her. Elise said Noreen had left a bag of pumpkin coookies while I was gone, and that was a treat to have a couple of those with some cold milk! Yum.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip
Maybe she'll share the recipe later.
I did receive the recipe and am posting it here.
If nothing new happens, I'm washing my face and putting on my pjs soon. I have a slaw mix in the crisper that I'll add some leftover fresh veggies and cheese and olives to with maybe a little bacon, If I get hungry. I have a stack of library quilting books to look through plus 2 catalogs and a Southern Living magazine. That should be about as much as I can handle tonight, and it's early to bed for me. I missed seeing the girls this afternoon, but I didn't mind having just a day for myself today.
One picture that appeared in my memories today that made me smile.
