The News Drought Continues

It was a very quiet week here in Meridian, our home town. Work, sleep, repeat. We have had a few mildly warm days, just enough to give us spring fever. So today it is raining/snowing. Makes a body want to burrow back under the covers.
Elaine has been busy finishing an old quilt for one of her friends. It is the second one she's done. The first was a quilt her mother had started serveral years ago and never finished. It is quite a challenge because the makers of these tops didn't have today's modern labor saving gadgets for making the piece cutting faster and, as a side benefit, more accurate. They were done pretty much by eye. As a result they are, quite often, neither flat nor square. Makes quilting and binding a lot more difficult. I think she enjoys the challenge. It is probably similar to the charge I get from breathing new life into an old broken down piece of equipment. One of life's simple pleasures.
The next ward activity we have scheduled is Prom. The theme is "A Night To Remember". Now, doesn't that take you back? People are starting to get fired up about it. We are encouraging everyone to dress prom appropriate, for whatever era they came from. I can't wait to see what the come up with. The Bishop has Rock Band on his kid's X-Box so he wants to have a competition to see who's best. We are finding that there are quite a few who are willing to take up the challenge. Picture, if you will, a couple of fifty-something High Priests getting down to Led Zepplin. It will truly be a Night To Remember. Or try to forget.
