Weekends haven’t meant much to me since I retired but I’m looking forward to this one. I’ve finished my first week of working in the yard, I ache all over, and there is still so much to be done. But when I volunteered for this job I told Pat I wouldn’t work weekends so I have a couple of days off now. I’m behind on some sewing I wanted to get done this week but the cross stitch I’m working on is taking longer than I expected. It’s almost done though and then I’ll be able to move on to something else.

The Guild meeting last night lasted longer than any meeting I’ve attended; it was almost nine and we were just getting our snacks and coffee. We actually had two meetings (the AGM and the regular monthly meeting) and, of course, we are in our new space so there were a few questions on how things are going to work. I was nominated for a position on the executive but I declined to run. Part of my thinking for staying with the library was I knew there was only one of four executive positions filled and I didn’t want to be guilted into taken any of them. We eventually got all the slots filled and no one went home with a broken arm – a sore arm maybe, but not broken.

Pat got home from a meeting this morning just as I was finished my shower and putting clothes in the laundry. He suggested we go out for lunch but when we ran down the options none of them really appealed so we’ll go out for dinner instead. I thought about making a rhubarb pie this afternoon but I’ll do it tomorrow morning. I’ve decided on Rice Krispie Squares for the Cran Hall AGM – we going pot luck with the Board members. I wanted to make a peanut butter slice of some kind; I found several recipes but none that didn’t require me to go out shopping so I change my plan to something really easy.

Back to my stitching now.
