WWQP Bulletin Board Chat

checking in/Royal watch

Hi everyone. We had a great time in St. Augustine over the weekend. I think I've caught up with the laundry.
Evidently lots of families go to St. Aug. over Easter break, it was very busy. The weather was perfect, which helped. We had a lovely dinner on Friday night, and re-read all the old anniv. cards. The best one was actually a mistake. DH found what we call the "chippy-dippy" card, which has a drawing of a sloppy man spilling chips out of the bag , etc. At the end it says "Happy Birthday"-he was so taken with the card, that he didn't realize it didn't say Anniversary.
Did some window shopping, and some real shopping. Decided that dresses, pants, etc. look better in a size 10 than my current size 14. So. . .back to the walking miles, exercise, and saying no to lying on the couch eating chips or ice cream. Hoping to get back to a size 10 by the end of summer, if not before. DH says he will cooperate, as he needs to lose 20 lbs. also.
Will keep you posted.
JANE-so glad you are able to get out an about. The spring flowers sound lovely.

There is a wonderful quilt shop in St. Aug. owned by a lady from South Africa. I bought some books and patterns, and want to start a new quilt for the youngest g. son. Friendly space monsters.
Are others as interested in the Royal Wedding as we are here? (female we). I'm not going to get up before 5:45AM, so it won't be much of an effort for me. I'm usually awake then, just waiting till 6:00 AM before rolling out. I remember Diana's wedding, and loving her dress.
Since Kate is older, hopefully she will be able to handle the press, and all the attention better than Diana.
