Not a Bad Effort

Yesterday was a goodie.  We contacted our plumber to come around and give us a quote for some work that needs to be done.  It was arranged they could be here after one in the afternoon.
That worked fine for us as there was a couple we were visiting.  He had been a sewing machine repair person and had one of Merril’s to look at.  It turned out it would work fine with high quality thread but lesser thread it was inclined to miss steps it was asked to do.  We had trouble figuring that one out as did he.
But it was still a time of chat and getting to know them.  We had taken flowers and something to eat (carrot cake) for morning tea.  She also bakes and we munched on a chocolate chip cooking.  Before we partook of them the husband declared they were terrible but we found out this was his ploy so he could have them all.
It was a good tie and one I would be happy to do again.
When we got home we were busy beavers.  As someone was coming we used the time to do some things around the home.  Turned out we had more time than we needed as I ended up sending a text asking should we wait or do something else.  That seemed to galvanize things as someone came very soon after to look at the work needed.  They went away with all the details and a quote will follow shortly.
Once they had gone we had a rest and I continued to prepare for a get together we have here of a Tuesday night.  I always enjoy it but am always glad when it is over as I am the one who leads the get together.  One thing I wonder is how many will be here.
The max possible is 11.  Last night there were 10.
Not an over the top day for sure but a good one.  We got things done and our circle of friends grew.  We also felt we grew as people too.  All in all to me that’s not a bad effort.
