Just a catch up: On April 14 Jerryl and I had club at the Community Center in Taylor. We had a preety good attandance. For the lesson I showed how to make a pie crust. I made 3 crusts in aluminum pans and then Sandy Cronk took them home and was going to fill them with something to take to the Morgan family. Their Bridge Club was fixing supper for the family so she was going to use that as one of the desserts. I still am surprised at how many people have trouble making a pie crust.
This weekend my Mom, sisters, daughters and neice went to Lincoln to the quilt study center to see the Grace Snyder quilts. The exhibit was very interesting although on the video about Grace's life they mispronounce Tryon, the town she and Bert went to live by after they were married. We ate lunch at the Olive Garden and that was very enjoyable. I have taken home Grace Snyder's biography and plan on reading it aloud to Mom. The print is too small for her to see. Also have taken home two smaller books by Grace's youngest daughters. I can't understand why that woman was making a giant block of Grace's flower basket block and I still think she was wrong when she said Grace had to work on that quilt from dawn to dusk. On Sunday we didn't do anything. I didn't even have to leave the house. Ed made pancakes and sausage that we ate pretty late in the morning and I made calzones for supper. I used some Italian sausage that was Johnsonville that I bought at Wal-Mart in GI. It was bulk not cased but it didn't have a very good flavor. I will be busy at the Sandstone the week of graduation. One family has ordered 8 cheesecakes and another wants mini desserts. I will be ready for a break.
Today is a cold and dreary day. No rain. It is light now when I go to work early in the morning and I don't have to scrape a window anymore. That helps. Tomorrow I have to do the calling to see which natural gas supplier is the cheapest and which we will go with. That is such a crock. It makes a difference what hour you call at what the rate will be.
