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!

I am off to the post office to get the travel documents! Now we just have to decide 'when' and 'to where'!

You are lucky!

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

Lucky girl, don't you wish all weeks were like that?

If all weeks were like that...well, yeah, it would be really fun!

Yep! When? and to where? are the questions.

I think soon and somewhere fun are the answers!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
