So exciting! Do you see the two red columns at the top? That is the top. I am now working around that column to fill it in more. Reaching a corner would be grand. Maybe by the time this weekend is history. I've miscounted at some points. This will not be a perfect recreation. Perfect enough.
Had lunch today with people from PALAC. It was really fun. The organizer, Jacqui, invited several people because she likes people. We were waiting for The Audacity of Hope to be delivered. Lots of miscommunication because that happens with old people. It was all worked out and we all lived. The fun part was when we were talking about group leaders (those who lead the discussions about books and stuff.) One guy said that all leaders have followers. I said I am not a leader, but I have followers. Oh, what a joker I am. One of the women there said, "Yes, you do." and did not look all that pleased.
Too many Hitler books.
Yes, PALAC is filled with 70 and 80 year-old folks. This is the key. When you are young, hang with people who are older than you. They will appreciate your abilities. Of course, if you are really young, hanging with older people will only give you a leg up on experience and wisdom. Can't lose. Come, sit by me, my fine young friends. The tricks I can teach you.
As for reading, I'm working through Warmth of Other Suns about black emigration to the north in the years before now. (80's? 60's? not sure yet.) Sooo depressing if you know how thing were in The South during the 30's - 60's. But I have fall backs because Audible is selling some percentage off to all members. Lots of mysteries. Old ones from my library and new ones. They are good to have while stitching.
So, as my Gmail message says - happy in So Pas.
