No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Laugh, laugh, laugh

That is all that is going on here! Friday, Linda and I went to Scrap 'n Stuff where we met Kelly T. to scrap. We were scrappers!!! That name will come up again later, watch for it!

Kelly was working on the decorations for the Ladies' Group brunch, pasting hearts onto lace paper placemats. She just adores my tag punch tool and used it to make tags which she attached to goody bags given to all the attendees. She did a fabulous job with the decorations and special centerpieces. Her daughter helped her out last night and again this morning.

Linda made some Easter cards which her friends at "Ladies' of the Evening" group at First German will make for their shut-ins. They are simply gorgeous, with double stamping, multi-layered mattes, and pretty ribbon tying it all together. Nice! She makes up a couple prototypes of each card and then the ladies take their pre-cut kits and assemble the cards. Such a neat idea and thought-filled, too!

The time just flew by and before we knew it, it was time to head home to rest up before going to the movies. We had chosen the movie at 4:50 pm and left home in plenty of time to allow for the great difficulty in finding a parking place. I dropped Linda off and she got the tickets while I parked the car. There was no problem finding seats in the theater and we got settled in to enjoy "New In Town". The premise was an up and coming female executive is called upon to visit a plant in none other than New Ulm, MN! Of course, the accent and mannerisms are largely overdone, but darn it, it was us! The opening scenes show four women sitting around a kitchen table doing what? Scrapping!!! The secretary at the corporation, as they drove down the road, asked the executive, "So, are you a scrapper?" We lost it, we just lost it! We noticed another pair of ladies alongside of us as we were leaving the theater and they asked us if we are from MN. We said we were from WI and she was from MN and knew we knew what was so funny. You had to be there, or be from there!!!!
