FRIDAY THE 14th

Well I thought I had already done Fri and Sat but no such luck. Had Fun Thurs doing the meat raffle, We made a bunch of money, stayed after for an hour talking with Joyce, she trained me in. I have a friend in Garden Club and she lost her son to suicide about 2-3 weeks ago, he was 44. Joyce lost her sun to suicide 30 years ago yesterday. How does one cope with that. I really have no idea. It has to be like loosing your mind.

Friday I went on an adventure with Loretta and Audrey, we went to Hibbing to do some craft shopping. Was fun, we went to Jo Ann Fabric's and Walmart and off to lunch at the Chinese Buffet and believe it or not neither one had ever bee to the Hull Rust Mine in Hibbing and Old downtown Hibbing, they moved the city you know so they could blast right next to it. Moved the whole town a couple of miles away back in 1920. After we were driving downtown looking for another Chinese eatery and found it, it was closed but on the way back to 169 to head for home Audrey spotted a knitting shop. Can you stand it, it was across from the Chinese Buffet that we ate at. We went in and were in instant heaven. Every nook and cranny was jam packed with yarn, Beautiful heavenly yarn. Let me tell you we had fun, I being the sch rood shopped I am only purchased from the 1/2 price sale rack. I still spent $53 on fun yarn. Shoot me now. I could start a store.

I no sooner got home and I had to get my hordorver ready for D.O.S.S. my wine group. Made a cheese ball and have a new lovely platter to serve it in. that I bought at the silent auction the day of the Fall Gathering. It is lovely. Picked Janet up at 5:15 and we went to Denise Green's house. She has to be the best cook in the county. She made a fall soup in a pumpkin and it tasted divine. She does a lot of entertaining and I can see why. She is good at decorating, cooking, being a hostess. Tough act to follow. D.O.S.S. will have Doe Camp in Nov and Denise will have the Dec Party and I picked up Jan. We will be leaving late Feb and I have only had D.O.S.S. once before and it was in the winter too. I need to get more chairs. Church is a good place for that. I don't think they let you borrow their chairs. Heck June across the street has 4 folding chairs and I am going to buy 2. We usually have from 10 to 17 people at D.O.S.S. By the way did I share with you. D.O.S.S. stans for the Diving Order of the Sipping Sisters. We even have denim shirts with D.O.S.S. on it. CUTE!
