Busy week

This was a busy week.  I finished sewing the binding on the bull's eye quilt and took it to choir practice Wednesday night.  For Christmas 2014 the choir gave me a gift card to a fabric store, which I used to buy quarter-yard pieces of 12-15 black on white and white on black fabrics.  I used two squares of most of these as backgrounds for the bull's eye circles, so I wanted to show the choir their part in the quilt.  There is a fundraiser for the youth program coming up; I may donate the quilt for the silent auction.

We had a lot of rain early in the week and found water dripping inside one of the living room windows.  Randy tried to determine how it was getting in, finding a clogged downspout, two small holes in the stucco, and poor sealing along some of the wooden trim.  If the problem is on the outside of the house, the homeowner's association is responsible for repairs, but if it is a window problem the home owner must fix it.  So we'll see if the cause can be definitively determined.

In the "it's a small world" vein, Monday night we had dinner with a couple of friends.  One of them, Vivian, we have known for many years.  She and Randy used to carpool to choir practice in Berkeley, and Randy spoke to her international students group at church several times.  The other one, Sue, was a soprano in Trinity's choir, where I met her.  A couple of years ago we discovered these two women live in the same condominium complex and were friends.  Cool!  Sue recently retired and moved to Kalamazoo to live with her sister, but she was in town to work on getting her condo ready to rent so Vivian had the three of us over for dinner.  She had warned us she was not a good cook, but she certainly prepared a feast for us, starting with corn soup, followed by barbecue pork, cauliflower and meatballs, mixed vegetables, chicken, and rice, ending with tiramisu.  Delicious!
