I've been quilting here and there on the Green Beans and Sweet Tea quilt and also hand sewing the binding down on the Exploding Heart. Nothing got finished, which is OK, really. We had a very nice week, and today we're meeting for a taco bar lunch/meeting at the library with the Democrats. I also hope to shop for some chocolate Easter bunnies for next Sunday and maybe do a little reading on the new Jennifer Chiaverini book.
Thursday, we went down to White River Junction to see the musical Waitress at Northern Stage. It was fantastic! We had never been to this theater and were pleasantly surprised by how nice it is. The town, has been working hard to upgrade itself, and there are some very nice little shops and restaurants within walking distance. Even the bus station is much improved and squeaky clean. We had lunch at home before driving down, but when we go again, we will be sure to try one of the eateries. I was pleased to run into an old friend and her husband at the show. We became friends in library school and then worked together for over 30 years. We've lost touch in retirement, so it is nice to reconnect.
These paintings were inspired by the quilts of Gee's Bend, and I loved the muted colors she used. It was a little gloomy inside, but the colors are fairly true in the photo. I liked all of the paintings, though the architectural detail in this one caught my eye. There was another painting with the dome of our State House prominent.
Then in the afternoon, I called my cousin Jeanne and then my mom, which took up the rest of the day! Both are great talkers, but I love them. Good thing I had a leftover casserole to pull out of the refrigerator.
