The days since my last post have been full of happy moments.
Last Saturday was spent with a delightful Iowa friend, Rondelle. She and I met through our weekly virtual Women's Bible study at Lutheran Church of Hope. She came to Central Florida to visit nearby relatives so we spent most of Saturday together, meeting for coffee, visiting Ancient Olive to taste and buy yummy combinations of flavored balsamic vinegars and oils, golf-carting to my house for chattime on the lanai, and then visiting 4-H Club. At the Club meeting Rondelle left numerous "little Jesus's" behind. I discovered she left this keepsake for me too
I sent Rondelle home with two knitted dishcloths and a round loom knitted tiny doll to which she affixed one of my FlourishingPalms pins. We had a wonderful time together.
A new toy tool arrived for me - a Stanwood 7-ounce manual yarn ball winder. I spent some quality time with the winder, turning most of two large bags of stashed yarn into cakes. (Some are already in cakes.)
It's great to have my small yarn stash organized.
I'm continuing to knit Summer Soul Top by Julia Piro Knits.
A couple other tidbits...
Thanks to a recent post by Debbie at A Quilter's Table, I learned about a book she has used as inspiration for improv. Though the book is out of print, I was delighted to find an inexpensive copy through Ebay.
These quilts were displayed May 15 to November 6, 2011 at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, California.
It was delightful to see where the book came from... Bellevue Arts Museum in Bellevue, Washington. It looks like no one ever checked it out from their docent library.
A quick drive through Twistee Treat, and... It's still not open! But signage is up. They're close. Others are as anxious for it to open as I am because two cars followed behind!
Open in "two weeks" according to a paper sign taped on the menu board and drive-up window.
From the day I stopped to ask an employee, "two weeks" is July 4. The rumormill is saying July 1. Either date, I'll be there!
One more noteworthy mention... Tuesday, June 23 marked the anniversary of our move-in to this house in Florida 14 years ago! It's still incredible how time flies - faster the older I get. Linda
What a fun visit you had with your Bible study friend! Your modifications to the lace top really paid off- it's so pretty. And the gray short sleeve should be quite useful here. Wear it to Publix- they are often on the chill side IMO. Here's to Twistee Treat! What's on your order list?
