Sit N Sew/Surprise Retirement Party

We had a fabulous sit n sew last night. The surprise party was another thing entirely. The guest of honor had to be called to join us so it wasn't much of a surprise. Now Terry never misses a meeting. I believe she has missed two sit n sews since we started meeting. One because of surgery and the other was just last month. She and I were both sick and decided not to spread our germs around because of this swine flu scare. So, of course, we try and plan a surprise retirement party she doesn't show up. Cath had made this wonderful pound cake with strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Mom had sewn her a cute little bag and the rest of us had filled it with fat quarters. We were ready and waiting. The Friend of the Cat finally reached her by cell phone and suggested she stop by. That really gave it away. Oh well. Our guest of honor finally shows up and we finally get to dig into the pound cake. Anyway. We all had a good time. So all's well that ends well. I just won't plan anymore surprises. At least, not until the next one.
