Just a few silly things to start your morning today.  From silly retreaters.  These gals really know how to laugh and create laughter.  You can’t be depressed around this group!

Newbie Linda fits right in.  And her Secret Sis gave her this fabulous seasonal tiara.  So her Secret Sis gets a big shout out for a great secret gift!  Newbie Linda wears it proudly.

The Compass Centre is on the cutting edge of new electronic gadgets these days.  Apparently there is a brand new, super charged hair dryer available on the market that has the shortest cord imaginable to man.  Or woman.  And I had a terrible time trying to dry my hair after my shower yesterday.  But a picture is worth a thousand words.

As you can see, I was having a very hard time drying my hair with the really short cord!  But I kept a smile on my face through the whole process.

Thank goodness Pat came to my rescue!

Here she is demonstating the fancy schmancy hair dryer cord.    This is how it was when I tried to use it.

Voila!  Instant long cord!  Apparently retractable cords are the newest thing in hair dryers.  Not.  Just to me, I’ve been informed.  I haven’t bought a new hair dryer for a very long time.  It is good to have retreats so I can catch up with the rest of the world.  You probably all knew about retractable hair dryer cords.

Suz was extra cute when she put her clothespin on her hand towel when we arrived at retreat.  We use these to identify whose towel is whose.

So I decided  to follow suit.  New names are the norm for this group.  Blast from the past: Remember our introduction to Bon Qui Qui?

Pam had a little trouble with this block today.  But perhaps you need to see the way it was supposed to be?

Much better, Pam!  I’m sure it was just because she was laughing so hard that there were tears in her eyes.

And that might be because one retreater forgot a very necessary item of clothing when she packed her things for the week.  A particularly sensitive, needed article of clothing.  So one of the other retreaters stitched a replacement for her.  Way to go retreaters!  These gals are so resourceful.  It’s unbelievable.  Really it is.  You’re going to love these next pictures.

And I do believe you need to see the back side too.

Sorry for the blur.  Apparently the photographer was shaking with laughter also.  As well as the entire room.  In fact, I’m sure you heard the laughter all the way to the DFW area.  Which is at least 90 miles away.   These gals can keep a person in stitches.  Quite literally.

One gal wrapped it all up with her Secret Sis gift to Sue H yesterday…….

I think we all need one of these to hang on our doors at home and remind ourselves of all the laughter.  So cute!

More to come – with lots of food and quilt pics too.  Stay tuned.

Hugs,
Barb
P.S.  How ’bout those Texas Rangers!   Woo Hoo!
P.P.S  This pic is just a personal one for Susan and Sally.  Look how organized Suz and I are this time.  Cool, eh?
