Rainy Nights, Fresh Mornings, Bingo, and Scrabble

More rain last night and light clouds this morning, but again, the air is fresh(er!). The difference in the color of the hills around town is reflected in my teeny garden; my bougainvilleas have buds, and the small chunk of Virginia Creeper that Sandra Bradley gifted me a year ago is trying to cover the walls of my house.

My usual Scrabble partner – Sharon Gerber Scherer- is in Las Vegas with her husband, Rob, celebrating their wedding anniversary. I hope I can find somebody to play with this afternoon! There is always Scrabble Go, an app where you can choose five levels of play against a really mean computer, named Zoey. I always play at the top level, Grand Master, and get my butt handed to me about 85% of the time. I have not beaten her in a while, so the law of averages is on my side!

After Scrabble is the last Colina Spay and Neuter Clinic Charity Bingo of the season at Nacho Daddy at 4 pm, this very popular venue closes at the end of June for vacations and will reopen in September. The Texas Embassy Blues Band plays this Friday at 8 pm.

I have been sewing a lot these days as my favorite venues are on hiatus, and I have found a use for short dresses made of fabulous fabric and/or patterns… I am showing you a pic of a taken-apart chiffon cocktail dress that I had to buy at the tianguis because it only cost 10 pesos, and I fell in love with the color combinations. As soon as I get it sewn, I will have my fabulous purple mannequin, Mimi (thank you, Kathleen Palmer!), model it for you. The things that keep me motivated.
