Awesome Day

What a lovely time had with friends!  Picked up Edna and Dianne and met Barb at Boston Pizza on Henderson for the luncheon specials. Edna and I shared the nooner pizza and she also treated me - Thank You!  YUMMY!!!  Then we headed to Main St over that swollen Red River to Little Britain United Church Quilt Show to see the awesome In Stitches group's quilt show!  AWESOME!!!!  What a variety, beautiful, creative and outstanding workmanship on display!  I especially loved the use of the church!

It's hard to get an engaged picture of Edna.

Then back in to drop Barb off and to Tim's to wait for Bruce to pick up Dianne.  Afterwards I drove Edna on her errand and then met up with Florence and Wayne. 

What an AWESOME day!  Ending with dinner with Florence and Wayne in for the Jets game and then home to watch the Jets for me!   Well I kinda wanted the salad n steak but then when Florence was ordering Fajitas I caved and shared with her - it's been a long time since the last time we had that together.  It was fun watching her build her last one as she was cleaning up ALL ingredients!   But I just got a call from Florence and apparently we didn't get the free appetizer that we had a coupon for!  Dang it!   So she phoned, waitress checked, she apologized and Florence now has a free appetizer PLUS $15 off her next meal - so I'm invited out next time again!!!  Better deal than originally should have been!

I really didn't expect to see it wrapped! 

No problem and no mess eating it either. 

Talk about a jam packed day and lots of fun too!  I'm still smiling!  And tomorrow is another such day driving friends to Selkirk for a weekend stay, then I think an evening at home again.
