This week is a WONDERFUL week! My boss went on vacation today at noon, so I got off at noon today. I did some much needed shopping. I have off the rest of the week. It is such a treat. My cousin Karena is staying with me for the week. It's fun having someone else around for something different.
Saturday I was at a mystery supper. I had never been at one before, neither had I ever heard of one. There were four rounds. It was all about solving a mystery. There were 20 people taking part, plus a moderator and a butler. And, of course, there were cooks and waitresses. My name was Terry Underwood and I was a Broadway Script writer. I love acting out things. We started the first round, the we had hors'devoures and then another round and then main course and another round and dessert and another round. Neither of us had the right answer guessed at the end. I would definitely do it again, it was great fun. I was to dress smart and attractive but plain and simple. So I wore a black skirt and a bright aqua shirt and black boots and put my hair in a bun at the nape of my neck and wore black shoes that lace up like boots. Also, I wore dress-up glasses, ones that were huge and black rimmed.
Sunday I was at a gang supper but alot of the girls were not present and I got bored so a couple of us came back and we spent the evening at my house. We watched some Laura and Mary Ingalls films.
Monday I took "my kids" to the Crayola Factory. All 3 of them. Also, since I got my cousin on Saturday, she was along. It was certainly a blessing to have someone else along to help take care of the kids. What a stressful thing it would have been otherwise. Evan especially takes off so fast. Like a blink of an eye he is moved to a totally new place and it's hard to keep track of him. Karena is 12 and she took care of Lyla alot. Lyla is 18 months old. Reece the 6 year old disappointed me. I thought he would do some coloring. I mean, for pete's sake this is a crayon factory. Yet he didn't do any of the projects that were there for hands on. There was a place to make puppets, a place to color pages of nice things, a place to make sun catcher pictures, and other stuff as well. There was even a place to draw with chalk. So disappointing that he didn't want to do any of that. I was actually afraid he would not even do anything fun. But, we found the water canel museum part where they have you put boats in the water and you open and close the locks. Reece loved that so much he wanted to do it again. We also found the place where there are glowing markers to write on the wall with. And, a place to dance and make motions and there were special lights to make odd things happen on the wall, activated by how you moved. All the kids really liked that. The drive was 2 hours away, so we spent alot of time on the road too. I got so sleepy coming home that I considered pulling over. It was dangerous, the sun was shining in so warmly that I could hardly stay awake. But thank God He brought me safely home.
Tomorrow I plan to pick up Junise and take my cousin and her swimming. We first will probably stop at the Tanger outlets but after that we'll pick up Junise and go swimming. Next we plan to come back and bake. Junise is a girl that I met at the shelter and we kept in contact since she's out. She has been begging me to bake with her. She loves my baked items and she wants to learn to make them as well. Then I will take her to her appointment and do some things at home that need to be done. In the evening we have our first choir program.
Thursday I plan to houseclean my bedroom. I also have a junky dentist appointment in the afternoon. Yuck! I suppose it must be done....sigh!
Friday I am planning to help a widow in Carisle.
Oh, what a lovely lovely week this is!
