While
April was a whirlwind, it was most delightful.
After
getting settled back to our normal “at home” routine, ABN tackled the garden
while Captain prepared The Wanderer for storage. And then we headed to
Indianapolis to see Swan Lake. It was an amazing production by Butler
University. Our favorite part was the small swan dance, probably because our
granddaughter, Camille, was one of the little swans. It was a quick overnight
trip and probably for the first time ever we neglected to take any photos of
our visit with Camille and her mom, Holly. (I suspect we will more than make up
for that little oversight next month when we attend her graduation.)
The
following weekend we celebrated our dear friends, Jean and Sandy’s, 65th
wedding anniversary. No, that is not a typo, 65 years!
It
was a wonderful celebration with our Paducah family as they shared memories and
funny moments. We are so blessed that God chose them to shepherd us many years
ago; they have weathered life’s storms with us for more than 27 years.
Before
we knew it, it was Quilt Week.
It
was such fun having our South Carolina friends, Lee and Carol, with us for part
of the week.
While
Carol and ABN were occupied with the quilt show, Captain and Lee reminisced
about old times. When we say “old” we are talking 46 years of friendship.
Sew
Powerful,
a faith based charity we work with, returned to the Quilt Show this year. ABN
worked at their booth in the Bubble (aka vendor’s center)
while
Captain shuttled the volunteers to and from their hotels.
Only
two volunteers remained at the end of the show, but we had an “after party”
anyway.
Want
to know more about Sew Powerful? ABN is always happy to share, with
enthusiasm, the details. Or you can click here.
As busy as April was, we made time for Tipsy
Tuesday.
It
is now May and time to get started on the home improvement project. While we
dread the chaos we are looking forward to a craft studio and wine cellar update
and a dry basement.
