We all slept in as it was a Sunday and we didn’t get much sleep the other two nights. We spent most of the morning organizing quilts in alpha order then putting them in cases. Debbie and Rick went to pick up Roxane at the airport while we organized. We all had sandwiches and then headed out to the Martin Luther King Library. We got there pretty easy but then we had to find a place to park. Let me tell you, have you ever parked a Suburban in DC? Well it is worse than San Francisco. We couldn’t find anything so finally decided to try a parking garage. Ha, what an adventure. With inches to spare from the roof line, we crept down the curvy road. We got to the bottom and no parking places. They were the smallest dang things I had ever seen so we crept along. I was afraid we would not fit. Finally, a handicap parking right next to the elevator. We thought we were so smart. Ha, wrong again. You had to have a special card to use the elevator. So we start walking back the way we came in. Oh Lordy, it was up all the way and kept curving. It was like climbing a large mountain plus we didn’t think we would see daylight. When we got to the top we were out of breath and like, OMG, did we really just do that? Then we walked 7 more blocks to Martin Luther King Library. We had our 10,000 steps by the end of the day.
When we got to the Library, Uniting US was painting a Mural so you know us, we jumped in to paint. Rita laid down on the floor but I couldn’t do it like her so I sat on my butt. We were painting the background on the bottom of the Mural. Flo got to paint the bugler which was fun. Then we watched a program called Story Telling which we all enjoyed. They act out stories of people’s character. Then it was time for the Library to close but not before Rita and Roxane slid down the slide in the Library.
As we all walked out of the Library we lost Rick and Val so I sent Debbie to get them. When she got to the door of the Library the Security Guard yelled at her, “You’re not going back in.” Scared her to death. She came back like a flash and she was telling us how mad the guard was and we all said that’s all we needed, QOH Arrested at Library.
We did our 8 block walk but this time we walked down the parking garage, around and around the curves until we found the car. We all pilled in then I had to drive that suburban out of the garage with only inches on the sides of the car. It was a holy nightmare because I prayed all the way up. We won’t do that again.
We drove home and went by a Mexican restaurant and ordered our food to go. Check out the menu – it was pasted to the window of the restaurant so you could see it from the street. I called it drive by eats.
We had a nice evening visit and then packed all the quilts. So another busy day and always an adventure. Stay tuned . . . . . . . .
God’s blessings,
