A Sewing Day Unexpected!

I asked to serve as Hostess of our Sewing Day this week because we usually use Judie's house. Since we all needed sewing machines for our Hobo Bag project, I thought it would be great to use the tables in the Clubhouse here at the RV Park. When I arranged it the week before, they said fine and it would be available after 11 a.m.

Things changed! When we arrived, we learned there would be a group doing Karaoke after lunch. They set us up so we would be somewhat "undisturbed" and we went to work on our bags.

Lo and behold, there came a crowd! Up went the Karaoke equipment and by 1 p.m. we were in a full entertainment mode. The good news was that they were a very fun-loving group (as are we!) and I even got up and did my "Harper Valley PTA" thing while Judie took pictures.

Well, they were hilarious! They did skits in costume (we even had Elvis!) to songs including Elvira (twice) and Sweet Nothings (remember Brenda Lee?). The guy had a fabulous Karaoke system and singalong CD's too many to count. They also did some pretty gospel songs. Turns out they go to nursing homes and do this as an afternoon of entertainment.

At full tilt, we had a packed room, with us sewing in the middle, people standing in the doors watching and listening, and others using the pool table right behind us! As Mary said, "If you were going to write a book, you couldn't have come up with this!"

Thanks to my very flexible friends, we had an enjoyable, albeit unexpected afternoon of entertainment, AND we still got our bags done! This was a sewing day we won't ever forget!
