Wednesday I reboxed the cotton-linen and the linen cutters, a few woolens, silks and fancies much condensed. Then off for lunch and the library computer. In the evening was social and supper at Tandor. Back at home for tv and fripping; we're well into this season's Survivor.

Saturday I had a bit of an adventure.  I went over to the framing shop to pick up the watercolor and walked in to find the shop un-lite and silent.  No one was there  Upon checking the shop hours I found they were only open until 2 o'clock on Saturday (It was 3:30).  When I got back home I called the non-emergency number at the police department to report it and half an hour later they called back to let me know the owner had been contacted.  So I got to pat myself on the back for being a good citizen.  Sunday Leofwyna got put on-call again so we were able to watch the final episode of Survivor together.  I thought Monica should win rather than Tyler though.

WEDNESDAY

This afternoon I sat down to get Halftroll's tunic done, thinking it would take 2-3 hours.  Six hours later It was done but for a little hand sewing to control the tucks on the border trim around the hem.  I keep forgetting how long those seams are on his oversized tunics and since they're all french finished that doubles everything.  It does look good though, esp. with the narrow trim finishing the neckline trim.  To bad there wasn't enough of it to put on the armband borders too, but oh well.

I was late getting out for the A&S moot; got there just in time to join in the last bit of chatter before the library closed.  In hindsight, since Halftroll wasn't there, I could have skipped it.  I guess I'll just deliver it all to Gyda next week at moot. 

Back at home we watched the Survivor we'd taped... huzzah, they voted Russel out.  Too bad he'll probably make a comeback.  There's not very many who'll be able to defeat him at Resurrection Isle.  

I'm still seriously involved in dealving through the Ancestry.com site following my leads.  There's still lots of this to be done. 

SUNDAY

I worked quietly at the computor today job shopping until Leofwyna got up. We went to Barnes and Noble so she could get a new puzzle magazine then we went to Grisanti's to have their soup and bread for supper. Finally we got back to watch our videotape of the final Survivor shows. What a great surprise to have Natalie win over Russell! And how so not a surprise that viewers' choice was Russell. How typical they love the bad boy so long as it doesn't directly affect them.

MONDAY

Watched the taped copy of the final episode of Survivor last night with Leofwyna; we're pleased with the results as Bob handled himself well throughout the program.  Having set up late yesterday watching tv and sewing on the sample quilt tops I slept in this morning... red flag time; gotta remember to set the alarm tomorrow to keep the earlier schedule going.  Fresh donuts and milk for breakfast, what a treat.  This is the donut recipe Mom used and even won a blue ribbon at the county fair with one year.  I'm sure glad Leofwyna is keeping that tradition going!

Got the kitchen cleaned up, put away some of the stuff from Yule Court and took out the trash.  Now to get started on some of Chris' transcription about Standing Bear.
