My sister and I started a marathon craft with our two 9 year olds on Wednesday. We made salt dough and let them cut out leaf patterns with Autumn cookie cutters. I baked them til they were hard, then today they were to paint them with acrylic paints, spray them with shiny finishing coat and glue magnets on the backs of them for refrigerator magnets. We only got to the painting part, so this is to be continued....
Cheryl took pity on me this morning and took me to the craft store to pick up the magnets and finishing spray. I can't drive yet after my surgery, so I have to beg people. We got what we needed and got in her car, but as we were leaving the parking lot to drop Maggie off at homeschoolers' PE class at the park, I realized I needed to GO. (can't put it off in my current condition)
hmmmm
I offered to buy cokes if we stopped at a fast food place to 'go', but she said her mom lived right on the way to the park. So we stopped by her mom's house for a pit stop. Her mom and longtime housemate were glad to see us. I 'went'.
We talked for a few minutes, focusing on my recent surgery and how quickly I am bouncing back. J jokingly said she had no pity for me after hearing I didn't have to have major abdominal surgery for the hysterectomy and she told me about hers. Then we compared gall bladder surgeries, mine laproscopic, hers major abdominal surgery. Then N chimed in discussing bladder lifts and the wonders thereof.All this time Maggie was sitting wondering how to add her two cents worth to the conversation, as always, looking anxious to say something. J noticed her and asked her if she liked music. Maggie agreed, she liked music and J said,
"Well then you must have loved this organ recital we just had."
Maggie didn't get it, but the rest of us were laughing and groaning!
