Need a laugh??

Hello Sisters,

I enjoyed your post the other day Lizzie. I was going to respond, but thought I would post something instead. For some reason I could not figure out how to put this picture on the blog and I knew it had been awhile since you all had something to laugh at me about. Well, I messed around with it for so long I just gave up. I am sooooo computer challenged sometimes. I know I had posted a picture before so don't know what the was the problem.

I am a different kind of servant in this picture from another time period - 1803 instead of 1770. There was an event called 12th Night at the Tryon Palace and I helped serve cake and wassail after the 12th Night party. It was fun because my volunteer cohort did it too. We are going to be in a fashion show in February, but will wear fancy dresses that belong to the palace. Perhaps I will send you another picture then. I do have to wear a wig for that event. I wonder why?? I could have had to have my hair chopped off when I got head lice or it caught on fire when I got too close to the hearth. What do you think?

We have had some of your nasty cold weather accompanied by snow and sleet and cold rain. Yesterday we had 4 inches of snow and Earl is somewhat surly because he has been stuck in the house all weekend and then Monday too. Grumpy might be a better word for his condition, but no mind. He will get over it when the weather warms up - if it ever does.

I had a physical fitness evaluation at the gym and the results weren't pretty except my resting heart rate and cardiovascular fitness which I scored excellent on. Oh yes, also my bicep strength. Not sure how I pulled that off. I am not aware of any strength building in my biceps unless it is the lifting of heavy food on my fork. That could be it. My BMI was REALLY high and my flexibility very, very low so I am a strange mix. Overall, I only scored Fair which is slightly above Needs Work. Tomorrow the trainer is supposed to give me a program to follow. Then I can have something to whine about when I get really sore. I know how you all love to hear me whine! Maybe I will be able to enter the Senior Citizen Body Building Contest. Another mental picture for you girls.

I have started working on a baby quilt for Sarah's baby. It will be my first pieced quilt. I wish I would have started this quilting business years ago so each of my great nieces and nephews would have one.

I am also working on making some stays, Those are those things like Scarlet O'Hara wore in Gone with the Wind and was cinched up to have a 12 inch or less waist. Not sure about that measurement. Once completed my waist might get to be 28 inches. And my boobs will rise to meet my chin - the bottom chin. Judy, my palace volunteer friend is making some too. Laura said we had to wear them when we are in the fashion show. Laura is showing us how to make them. Not my favorite type of sewing, but interesting.

I chatted with Sarah a little while yesterday and she said she had such a nice time at her shower and received many nice things for Camden. I imagine she is getting nervous as her due date gets nearer. She said she has decided to try to have him naturally. Ouch!

So, did you have a little overnight at your house Lizzie? I am missing all the fun. Darn.

I hope your fuzziness is becoming less fuzzy Diane. Am missing your thought provoking posts.

How about you Susie? Are you getting stronger and feeling good? You looked good in the pictures I saw on Facebook.

That's it girls. Sorry I don't have anything more interesting to report.

Love you all bunches.

Lori
