I’m up.. and on.. sort of.. I’m making a super fancy necklace out of vintage
clear crystals.
want to wear something special when I go to pick up grannies jewelry from
the big bad auntie.
Babs : )
well its an old story about vultures and rabbits.
the vultures know the rabbit is gonna die. but the rabbit is too scared to
make out a will because that would be like the rabbit saying “yes I’m gonna
die, get ready to take all my possessions”. but what the rabbit doesn’t know
is that the vultures already have it all worked out so that they can come in
and clean out the rabbit while she is in the hospital, leaving nothing for
the rabbits relatives later.
So, now after 2 years, the vultures mysteriously grow a heart and invite the
rabbits in to pick out a few of the left over (unwanted) items. But the
rabbits are wise and smell a slaughter, or perhaps just skittish. who
knows..
to be continued next Sunday ; )
I’m awake now.
Table Topics:
Mr. Jan has visited 27 diff. clubs and I about 14. I like mine best - we
follow TI’s guidelines. Most of the others around here have *Opinion*
topics. They give one topic and ALL the members talk on that same topic
(i.e. opinion). By the time the 14th person gets it there are no new ideas
left. BUT, the way TI has it structured, each person gets their own
*surprise* topic and has 1-2 minutes to speak on it. We give the topics in
diff. ways, then the 2nd speaker gets to read the topic while #1 is
speaking, so on down the line. Read your basic manual how it is to be
conducted.
Some suggestions:
Clip pages or pics from magazines and fold them. Hand them out and the spkr
is to describe what it brings in mind to them. Take some books and they are
to pretend they wrote the book and tell what it is about (their OWN story).
Take some silly items and wrap them in tissues or paper towels. Have them
tell us this item *they* invented, what it is, how much it costs to buy, and
why they MUST have it. Take a roll of TP and have them tear off how many
sheets they think they will need. Then give each person a topic:
As many sheets equal what you are planting in your garden (what they are)
A menu and this is how many courses - what are they
etc., whatever you think of.
Those are some fun things we have done.

hi Gail : )
I’m okay..same stuff different day. Es is doing okay.. they changed her
dose, not sure how she’s doing on that yet.
The big bad auntie came in and took all of grannies stuff, her and another
aunt (by marriage). This is a real, real sore spot with me and my immediate
family. Its been two years, and now they are inviting us to basically come
pick over what is left that they don’t want. Nice.
Oh, have some really nice M-day poems from Helen Steiner Rice, if you are
still looking?

Tell me more before I drop off. Besides, I’m cold.
