Win-Win-Win

A couple weeks ago I had a week that was just like Christmas. I am just now getting around to writing about it.

First, I was Winner With Most Points at Bunko (or Bunco). I fill in with the neighborhood group, but fill in almost every month, so I am a regular, at least when it comes to filler-inners. But being a filler-inner, I don’t have to clean house, or fix treats, or keep score. I play the ‘but I’m not a regular…’ card every chance I can! And it works. They love me! However, the regular regulars noted this was twice in a row I had won this /most points' honor, capering away with the big bucks, all $13 of them. They may not ask me back. Until they need me.

Next, I had an email from Martha, who is the incredibly talented Q is for Quilter. She offered me some vintage 30% cashmere/lambswool blend and two vintage pattern books. (Thirty per cent!) For one reason or another, she wasn’t going to use it. Go ahead and take a peak at her quilt work. Like she needs a reason to not knit? Anyway, would I like it, since I had real grandbebes to knit for. Hmmm…let me see. Yes please.

Then I heard from Cha Cha at Noodleroux that she liked best of all what I had described as my ‘Cultural Heritage Costume’ in a contest over at her place. Which...where I'm the sheriff...is all jeans/shorts and tees/sweats! After she gets back from her worldly travels, I look forward to receiving a prize package worthy of someone winning such a contest!

Lastly, Dearest Sister and Sister’s Mister determined that her remaining days of vacation, previously spoken for a now-defunct trip, are up for grabs, and that we might just grab them for a get-away really exotic and special. Somewhere that just might require a passport!

All this in just a week.

See. Just like Christmas!

  3. You are lucky!

    I guess you won't be visiting New Jersey since you mentioned the words "exotic" "special" "passport."
