Oh Rita you and Alex and hand in hand now. Don't you get about. I hope you are not too overwhelmed when you meet me at the end of the week

Flat Rita and I had to leave before show and tell because someone has a day job that was calling.

Flat Rita was a good sport, because she allowed me to take a side trip to pick up some doggy bags. There is a group here in Sun City we call the "Pot Police." They get after you for any small infraction, so whenever I'm near the doggy bag dispenser I try to grab a few more for my dog Duke. These doggy bags aren't the type that you get when you can't eat all your dinner at the restaurant. These doggy bags are for, well, the other end of the doggy! Even though it was very hot and smoky Flat Rita was a sport and helped me carry the doggy bags home. I had to promise Flat Rita that I wouldn't make her take Duke for a walk today as it is just too hot and smoky.



We finally got home and Flat Rita is resting while I'm making work calls and such. (And writing about our adventure!)

I promised Flat Rita red wine with dinner tonight and she is now speaking to me again. I hope Flat Rita will remember Northern California with good feelings. Even though it was too hot and smoky. (Maybe the red wine from local wineries will help!)

Thanks Flat Rita for spending the afternoon with me.

Your bag is quite adorable. Nice work!

Well, we made it to Kilaga Springs and thank goodness they had the air conditioning on full tilt. I probably should have worn a hat like Flat Rita. She's so clever. We waited in line, got our ticket, as only members could get in. (I snuck Flat Rita inside my purse. No one suspected!) While waiting we saw Alex come in and she wasn't too busy, so I asked Alex if I could get a picture of Flat Rita with one of her quilts. Being the dear that she is, Alex let me take a picture with her in front of one of her quilts. You can see by the picture that Flat Rita just beamed! Alex was telling me how much fun the taping was with Flat Rita there. And what a beautiful singer the 3d Rita is.

Flat Rita and I enjoyed Alex's presentation. It was funny and inspiring.

Enjoy your 15 mins. of fame Wendy! Good for you!

Just saw your Show and Tell, Wendy! Love what you did and the turquoise color is gorgeous in the mix of your other colors and stitches!

Well, I sure know why Flat Rita is resting! She had a busy day here in Northern California. We went to the Sun City Lincoln Hills Needle Arts meeting to hear Alex Anderson give a show and tell. What fun! First we decided to walk to Kilaga Springs because parking there is so bad. Unfortunetly it is 100 degrees out plus the smoke filled skies due to all the fires. But Flat Rita had brought her jungle hat from Ireland and insisted on wearing it. I told her that the jungle like area was just the open space by the golf course, but she insisted. She looked quite cute!

Congratulations, Wendy! But you are not quite as famous as Flat Rita yet.

Flat Rita survived the trip to Birmingham and came out of the suitcase, dancing and singing, this morning. She went to a kaleidoscope class with me and met Patti Hempen. You'll have to wait for pictures till next week because only my PC at home has the right software to download pictures from my digital camera.

Flat Rita is exhausted now and fast asleep already. All this cutting of hundreds (not exaggerating) of wedges (accurately) has worn her out.

Hey I'm famous. Appeared on TQS Newsletter how cool is that
