I have spent the last week getting ready for Saturday's annual Women's Conference. I love these events - we get lots of positive feedback - but the week before I start to panic and think that I won't get everything done - or that something will go wrong.
I thought it would be great to make aprons for our keynote speaker and the presenters of the 4 classes. I need to quit having great ideas!! So I spent last week getting 5 aprons made - the last one this afternoon. Our theme is provident living - and I didn't go buy any fabric - just scrounged around - they all came out great. (One presenter's sister gave me the fabric for hers.)
We were given tickets to Camelot at the Pasadena Playhouse for Christmas - for tonight's performance. I was panicking tonight thinking I couldn't swing it - but Dad, the world's greatest helper, saved the day - and the night I guess!! We even had time to go over while they were setting up - and I set up the classrooms. The show was pretty good too. I have loved that music for years - my roommate Janet had the soundtrack and played it a lot my first two years of college - but I don't think I was very familiar with the actual story. It's really pretty sad - and tragic even. I have been reading the Arthurian legend with my 1st period class. And I have read Le Morte d'Arthur with the student I home teach - and Idylls of the King too. So I'm feeling like I'm "in the know" now!
Thursday night was a baby shower for Dawn and Isla at Nadinna's house. It was nice. Sylvia did the cakes.
And Mom and Donna came out too. Had dinner with us beforehand, so we got a chance to visit. Mary had to work, so she couldn't come.
The "generations" shot -we are even almost color co-ordinated!
Katherine and Christopher came too. Baby Harry looks a little non-plussed, doesn't he?
I'm off to bed - an early a.m. awaits - we'll let you know how it goes.
