Slice of Life Post for March 30, 2024

My neighbor Debbie’s daffodils.

It’s been a marvelous day. It began early preparing for three big events: a needle felting class, a euchre tournament, and a Hawkeye women’s basketball game. All three were a success.

Nine women signed up for the needle felting class. Our instructor is a retired English teacher who has a marvelous sense of humor and fantastic crafting skills. She taught us all about wool and felting techniques along with providing plenty of supplies to play with. Everyone got busy creating.

Right after the felting class, my husband picked me up to play euchre. We won! Another bonus was the food because everyone from our club brought a bountiful variety including beef, ham, turkey and noodles, Maidrites, smoked tenderloin, baked beans, bacon wrapped weenies, cooked cabbage, green bean mix, desserts galore, etc. No one left the club hungry.

During the euchre tournament the Iowa women’s basketball team played against the Colorado Buffaloes team. They won! Yes, there’s nothing like a Hawkeye victory to top off a glorious spring day! Hope your Saturday was wonderful, too!

    It is unusual to hear someone say they play Euchre! Or for that matter, even know what it is. I love watching Clark play! What a role model (well…most of the time! 😉 ) for young girls everywhere! The next game should be a good one! Hopefully, they will be dancing as well.

      I sure hope our Hawkeyes can beat LSU. It will be such a sweet victory if they do. Yes, Caitlin has some unbecoming moments but her behavior was pretty good today. She does have so many eyes on her, but she always talks about her teammates and you can tell her coaches adore her.

    Yes, let’s dance! What a fun day all around! I love the felted animals you all were making. That looks like a challenging craft. Congratulations on the card game success and especially the Hawkeyes win. Along with the daffodils, what could be better on this bright spring day.

    Barb,

    Congratulations on all three. I love the little felt bunny. I need to find out if anyone is teaching those classes around here. Cute. Cute. Cute. I read an article yesterday about the potential Caitlyn Collins effect on the WNBA. Looks as though the ladies will be earning more money when Collins arrives. I sure hope she stays well.

      Caitlin Clark is definitely going to have an impact. I heard tickets for the Indiana Fever already went up. Everyone believes that is where she will go.

    Barb, I would love to be there at that tournament with you. I may have said before that the best thing to come of my first marriage was my children. But the second was euchre. We had weekend tournaments that I miss so much! No one in Georgia plays last I checked, so i am looking for 3. Glad it was a great day and the felting class looks fun! There’s that dancing again!
