Happenings

Got our vote-by-mail documents yesterday. We have a pathetic slate of local government hopefuls. It's always fun to put "Edna Farkwart" in the sign-in blank. What the heck, she might be as good as what we have anyway.
Tyrone is hyped. He got a ballot He's coming over this morning to "research" the candidates on line. He, with his drug muddled brain, has even been on jury duty. This ladies and gentlemen .... (Brian could go on about that).
Tomorrow is the last of the summer theatre offerings in Coeur d'Alene. A group of us from the pool bought summer season tickets and carpool over. After we go out to dinner. A great way to try new and different food offerings in our area. Tomorrow will be Chef in the Woods. Supposed to be a good one.
Uma brought her broken rice cooker (the big one) over yesterday. Guess she wanted me to fix it or take it in for repairs. I told her to toss it. She wants a new one. I told her to use her small one. Oh, yeah. She forgot she had a small one. Why she needs a family sized rice cooker when she is the only one that eats rice in her house. -- She is still looking for a job.
Speaking of jobs, Jhary starts her new job tomorrow. It is a dumb, no brainer (?) - she has to load sodas into vending machines. How they can figure out a pay for that is beyond me. She needs the "group employment" thing so is rather limited as to what she can/wants to do. Yard work and janitorial are out.
Haven't heard from Traivon for a month. Guess I'll have to take his mail to him and see what's going on.
Next week Casey and Sydney start Sewing Camp. Four days a week, six hours a day. At the end of the two weeks they get to keep the sewing machine. All for a little over $300 each. Not too shabby. I'll be tagging along just because it will give me a concentrated time to sew. We purchased fabric and patterns Thursday. I've washed and pressed same and will be putting together the odds and ends I think we will need. I'll be working on some of my Hidden Pocket patterns - vest, blouse, pants - preparation for our trip in November.
