I presume you've been following me long enough that you know all about the Beach Girls. My longarm compatriots. People are often surprised that we're friends, and not backstabbing competitors stealing each other's bobbins. Meh. Life's too short for that shit.
This past week was our annual Beach Day which generally lasts for three days. We rarely make it to the beach...but this year it happened!
Diane took us on a mystery outing that lasted all day. We started at the consignment store in Exeter and ended the day at the Lion's Pavilion in Grand Bend. There was a very fun band featured and their set was "the British Invasion" (or maybe that's the name of their band?, but I don't think so). Anyhow, the 2 1/2 hours they played was such fun, starting with the Beatles and ending with the Beatles, and over a decade's worth of music in between. I felt sorry for the folks sitting around us because we're not really aware of how extraordinarily badly we sing. And we sang a lot. With unbridled verve.
In our down time we celebrated a birthday and solved the problems of the world. 😀 As Deb and I were on our way home we stopped at the Restore in Exeter, where I was able to save myself fifteen bucks on clear bags that I use for customer quilts AND I got four c.d.'s at $2 apiece for the drive home.
I won't see these gals again until September at the next SOLO meeting. Anticipation....
ZUCCHINI REPORT
Picked this week: 18
Picked YTD: 59
Gave away: lots. I took a bunch to Beach Day but neglected to count them. I also made four loaves of Zucchini Bread and forced those on the girls too.
