Saturday Translates

Into spinach florentine quiche
At one of the La Madeleine's here in Dallas
At least for me anyway! Had a three hour girl gab fest
With with a chum. Sipped coffee. I chowed quiche.
I noticed a cool generational goin' on--
Behind my chum and me, sat two 20 something ladies
Then behind them sat seven ladies, with hair, maybe late 60's-70's,
The 20 something had flowing brunette hair
While my chum and I put on our hair so it wouldn't be white!
Each table had its bursts of laughter and
Probably the best girl gab ever--until the next time. :)
Good Saturday, indeed!

Quilt Bee Me....NOT!

However my chum, Another Aries IS! We did lunch today to girl gab and laugh, especially while we realized our reading glasses didn't help us see the the menu any better! One of our many topics was Another Aries passion for quilting.

I don't get it.

Told my chum how I picture her being in the 1800's with the butter churn near by. She'd be quilting up a blanket as her young'un's rounded up cows to milk--for the butter churn. After we laughed, Another Aries explained how a machine does a majority of the work, and it's all about strips of fabric. Another Aries went on to explain the projects she's working on and plans to work on. How she wouldn't mind quilting up some mats and blankees for cats. Now, THAT perked me up. My cats always need a new item. Alas-

I still don't get the quilt thing. Memories of not so good 7th grade Home Ec grades floated back to me over my pasta lunch. Unleashing my creativity ain't about to happen in quilting either. Although, Another Aries and I spoke of being entrepreneurs. Her with her quilt wares and me with mine--which of course, is everything feline.

But ya know, it doesn't matter if I don't get quilting or not. Another Aries does. Even started a blog about her love for quilting along with other blog about life as a Proud Tejana. I suggested she post more stuff on her quilt blog since there are others who share the same passion (unlike me).

So to wrap this all up, I decided that every now and then, I'll just ask Another Aries if my cats' quilt blankee is done! They'll love it and so will I! :)

Oh, and I didn't down ALL my 74 ounces of water down today...almost...but not all...
