Tina for President!

Oh my Goodness! Tina Turner is a goddess. I have never in my life seen ANYONE rock a stadium harder than Tina rocked United Center in Chicago Friday night. What a show, what a Queen. She is undoubtedly the Queen of Rock and Roll. At 69 years old, I think she deserves a medal for just trying, but let me tell you folks, she did a lot more than try. This woman is a professional rocker! She's got my vote for whatever she wants to run for! Mother Nature has met her match.

quick check in

It's been a week since I've returned home but it feels more like 15 minutes, and tomorrow is the beginning of a new week. Short week for me, as I'll be going to Chicago on Friday to see Tina Turner in concert! Sister and aunt are coming along for the fun. I think I've covered the essentials this weekend like visiting the Dad, laundering the unmentionables, feeding the husband a couple of "honest to goodness" meals, and making a showing at church. I think they were about to plan a memorial service in my honor. Figured the husband had had enough and finally buried me in the backyard!

I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I got home last week. My new Italian friend Giulia Manfredini of Giulia Punti Antichi, gifted me with her Christmas sewing set pattern. I couldn't believe such a nice gesture from someone I've never met, so far away! Little did she know that I've been longing to stitch one of these little slippers and now I have no excuse! She can expect a little surprise from me in her mailbox sometime in the future. Thanks so much Giulia!
