From Pod Cast To Mom Cast

After a fabulous long night’s sleep, which I needed so badly. I awoke to the anticipation of a fun and different day. This morning I was being interviewed by Fran Bernstein for her Pod Cast Mah Jongg Mondays.

I had a wonderful hour talking with Fern about all things Mah Jongg. We had similar takes on the National Mah Jongg League and how to play three handed Mah Jongg. She told me the episode will be released next week and I will let you know when it does if you are interested in listening to it. I had not listened to Fran before, but since I have gotten to know her I certainly will.

After I was done yacking, I picked my Mom up for a fun day out to needlepoint and lunch. My Mom originally just wanted arugula from my green, but quickly took me up on a lunch out and a little shopping. We started out stopping at Chapel Hill Needlepoint to see Nancy. Mom wanted to talk with her about future pillow finishing.

I sat patiently waiting for Mom to finish talking about something that was not going to happen for months. Finally I couldn’t wait any longer and said, “Can we please get to why I came and see my purse that is finished?”

Nancy went to the back and had me close my eyes while she took it out of the plastic bag so I could see my Nantucket Basket purse in all it’s glory. I was thrilled with the finishing. It was such a boring canvas to stitch, but such a perfect purse to have. I had added rows onto the original canvas to make it a little taller to ensure that my phone would fit inside. My phone has room to spare, which is good since phones keep getting bigger.

After visiting with Nancy Mom and I went to the Carolina Inn for a lovely lunch. She treated which was a big surprise. So I took her to Trader Joe’s on the way back to Croasdaile and I treated. We had such a fun day, and I brought her a bag of arugula from the garden since that was the impetus for the whole event.

What a different day from the norm. It’s fun to change things up. Now I just need someplace to go to wear my new purse.
