Every time something especially interesting happens whether here in the park or at home, I yelp, "that's a blog!". It really is true that truth is stranger than fiction.
Last week a cute incident happened that I threatened to put in my blog but never got around to doing it but here it is today.
Chris and Candy are 2 ladies who I've just taught how to do Swedish weaving and they've taken to it like ducks to water. Their very first projects were absolutely lovely and, now that they're hooked on the craft, they are busy buying up more monk's cloth to take home with them when they leave Florida this month.
Joann's Fabrics put 40% off coupons in the local newspaper and some of my ladies were thrilled to death to use them for buying monk's cloth. So thrilled, in fact, that they went dumpster diving to find discarded newspapers with those coupons. It's not as bad as it sounds because we apparently have one dumpster with only newspapers in it, thank heavens.
Chris is a little taller than Candy so she got the job of hanging into the dumpster to gather up the newspapers. As a result, her underarms are bruised black and blue. I'm so proud of their dedication!
Another part of the story is that Candy's husband, Tom, broke his leg just recently and has been very short tempered because of it. When people saw Chris and Candy heading to the dumpster with a shovel it was joked that they were going to bury Tom. As far as I know, they only went for coupons.
