Wednesday was a very full day.  In the morning I started off at Busy Bees; I missed the January meeting (and some the ones at the end of last year) so I really wanted to show up for this one.  It was good to see the ladies, although I was very sad to hear from one friend that she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  (Since I don't know if this is common knowledge yet she will remained unnamed at the moment.)  

Melissa gave an informative demo on squaring up blocks, and then it was time for Show & Tell.  I went first, showing 3 quilts and the Children of the World wall hanging, then left (missing the rest of the goodies) and zoomed home. Marilyn and Frannie had just arrived, and Frannie was investigating Pokey trying to figure out what she is.  I grabbed a quick lunch, then zoomed off to the Make A Face class at Foothills. 

We watched the instruction video Carlyn had brought (pretty ingenious method!) and I found out I'll need to find a different photo; the ones I'd selected as possibilities just didn't have enough contrast.

While Frannie was off on a walk exploring the neighborhood I whipped up a half gallon of OJ (and yes, still have lots more oranges waiting their turn) and Marilyn deemed it the best OJ she'd ever had.  Always glad to hear people enjoy my "cooking"....  Then we relaxed in the yard with our drinks while Frannie tried her best to get Pokey to play with her, though she never could get Pokey to get with the program.  

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard were back at the pool for a brief swim.  Of course Frannie wanted to visit with them, too, though we kept her in and allowed the ducks their preening and relaxation time.  

 This is their third visit here, and it could be they've approved this location and have decided to move in and raise a family here.  

Though with Frannie here for the week they could change their minds...

Then Alex and Ahmed came over and played catch with her.  Frannie seems quite happy here, with the exception of not being allowed on the furniture.  

I whipped up grilled salmon, asparagus, and rice for dinner (I had made a lot of everything so there was plenty and I invited Ahmed to join us), but Alex made sure we weren't burdened with leftovers.

This morning Marilyn and Frannie are off to the big dog show at Westworld, where Frannie is entered in 4 events.  By the time I get myself organized and meet them over there I will be able to catch her afternoon events at least; don't think I'll make it in time for the morning two.  The rest of the time I "might" watch some of the agility competitions.
