I am publishing a new book titled "101 Ways to Avoid Getting Browbeaten Into Going In a Fabric Store." And the second one "101 Things I would rather do than go into a fabric store." I expect them to be best sellers. Fortunately, my eternal helpmeet does not quilt. Neither does she sew. Neither does she make breakfast or lunch. Neither does she frequent fabric stores. Neither does she knit or tat and make little doilies to strew around to make the place look grandmotherly. Other than these not-so-shortcomings (except for the breakfast and lunch) she is o.k. She watches sports, listens to my rants, tolerates my mess, and comments only weekly about the cabinet door that fell off months ago and needs fixed. I am moving into phase 5(a) in meditating about getting around to looking at it, certain that it is unfixable and the door will stay off. So I am not plagued with issues here except being bugged by my sisters. Etc.

Your story about men and their quilter wives in the store reminds me of more strict days in the dorms at Laramie, when a man would come on the floor to carry luggage, repair something, etc, and a monitor would have to go in front, shouting "Man on the floor". Those days are gone forever.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-20863824757291401982009-12-12T10:47:26.843-07:002009-12-12T10:47:26.843-07:00Well, I have to get in on this.

When Cheryl had her store we would have an occassional husband with his wife, and for the most part they were patient, some not. We would have fun converstions with them. And then there were the husbands who dropped their wives off and went elsewhere, and came back to pick them up. I'll bet these same men have a blast at the hardware store. Now, that's where I would opt for watching paint dry. <br /> During the shop hops, Cheryl would ring a bell and say there's a man in the store, and give him a little prize. They didn't seem to mind the attention. We made it fun for them.Louise Bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720563725669666384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-74067838667981753912009-12-11T14:58:38.567-07:002009-12-11T14:58:38.567-07:00Another thing, do any of you besides Dwight check ...Another thing, do any of you besides Dwight check at the bottom of Real-time (before the map), to see who and where has visited Penrose Mornings?

The debate was whether I could justify a trip to Olympia's westside (where JoAnn's is located). <br />Would Dwight and Steve like to be put on their mailing list? The last time I was getting fabric, I ran into Charley Reed in the store. Myrtle was also there, but that is beside the point.
