The ladies at church were quizzing Linda about all the fun we'd had so far during her visit. One asked if I was cooking wonderful meals for her....ha, ha, ha, very funny! At first Linda was going to say, "oh, yes..." but caught herself before falling into the trap. We did relate our schedule of activities which thoroughly exhausted them!

Here goes----on the way home from the airport, we discussed our menu creation planned for dinner and just how long it would take for Jell-o to set, and decided we had time for lunch and a strawberry margarita at La Nopalera....after all, our theme for the dinner was "From the Heart"! Strawberries are red, the heart is red, so there!

Upon arriving home, Linda got settled into her quarters as I mixed up the Jell-o and applesauce, a low-calorie but highly flavorful concoction for the themed dinner. We chatted until the ladies started to arrive and all enjoyed a lovely feast of heartfelt foods. We had two tablesfull of guests, including Justin and his roommates, a perfect chance for a full, hot meal for these starving boys.

Friday morning we headed to St. Johns Town Center Mall to the Joann store to buy paper, inks, and other cropping supplies for the card making night planned at church. We needed Easter/spring colors and believe we found the right "flavors" to enhance the papers. When Justin got out of class he joined us for a lovely lunch, dining el fresco at the Cheesecake Factory. The patio had heaters which kept us thin-blooded transplants cozy as we ate. Linda and I spent some time and money in the bookstore and then went to see Justin's condo. All three boys were home so we had a nice visit before heading back over here to cut up the papers needed to make the cards for cropping.

Linda and I got everything set up for cropping at church and at first it seemed no one was joining us, but then we ended up with a nice group. Linda got busy with the card making, saying she loved to do it, so the rest of us worked on our projects while she stamped, glued, and assembled a stack of Easter cards. Man, she's quick! Jean worked on her black velvet coloring project (she told us that's her craft and now we believe her!) and the rest worked on our albums. Great fun, good pizza, and a relatively early night--home by 10:00! Thanks, Linda, for making the cards for our members away!

...and the morning and the evening were her second day!
