This morning, I overslept a bit. I headed out and had to stop at Safeway. Then I was on my way to moms. I stopped to get a tea from Dutch Brothers. As I was crossing over the bridge, the police and fire truck were headed to I-5. I guess if I was about 10 minutes earlier and on my usual way to mom, I could have been in it or saw the accident. I'm thankful my plans were different.
When I arrived, someone took my parking spot - no big deal. They have been doing that lately. So, luckily, I found one close to the house. The tension in that group is high. When I asked what they were scheduling, I was told they scheduled the Christmas Party at O'Blarney's in town. I told them I went there with a group, and it took an hour to be served. Not only that, but we were given 3 tables that sat 4 people. I didn't care for the food. I was told that I could call around and find a better place if I didn't like it, but they already made reservations for it. At that point, I was tired of the attitude they have been giving me. I was tired of them voting on stuff when I wasn't there. I would come in sometimes and be told what we were doing. This is the old "Tuesday" group, that moved their way into our "Friday" group. They were the ones that changed our Fridays to every other. AND NOW they are trying to change it to the first and third or second and fourth Friday. Funny thing is, its mom's house, and they don't ask her before they decide on stuff. If they do, mom just goes with it. I told her I was tired of all the crap. So, I told mom I was done with this group. She was upset by it, but I told her "I'm done! I don't care what they decide anymore, I'm done."
So, then I realized it was taking away a day from mom. She wants to see me at the very least, once a week. I decided to ask her if she would let our Monday embroidery group meet at her house instead of going to the grange. That way, if they don't meet, I can visit with her and it's a win, win for both of us. She was so excited about that thought. I was so surprised at how excited she got with that. I asked the group, and they all agreed to do that. So, December 1st we will start meeting at moms. Mom's happy and I can still visit with her on Mondays. Georgie lives by mom, and that gets her to come back to the group. I also invited another person from the area and told her we will start on the 1st.
I then went to Physical Therapy and came home. I had to change and get ready to head out to Red Lobster - it's our Anniversary dinner! We have been married 43 years today. It was a very nice time down there. We got the "Mariner's Boil" and split it. Patrick got a side of shrimp that he likes. We ate it all. Then we had a dessert but couldn't finish that. So, the good news was, we didn't bring anything home to throw away later. lol
I did work on a binding while at moms, but that really doesn't count towards being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
