It was 2010, my first seminar, when I had a 1/2 day class with Janet Zickler Casey, and I didn’t keep up with the pace of a 1/2 day class. Well, it’s 2024, and I kept up, but I still felt rushed. We got bogged down by area 2 because it’s not on the true diagonal. Since it’s only a 3 hour class and we had 7 areas to cover, we didn’t stitch the 6th or 7th. But, it’s all good because I need my light and comfy chair!
Linda M and I Ubered out to KC Needlepoint after lunch. It’s a huge store, good light, all painted canvases, and nice self finishing products. No counted designs. There’s Linda before we head inside.
We found Planet Earth leather coasters. I got 2 navy, and Linda got 4 black ones.
I got another magnet, and the Watercolours Sandstone skein has more color variation in it.
There were 5 taxes listed on the receipt:
Missouri State Tax (9.475%)
Missouri State Tax (4.225%)
Jackson County Tax (1.375%)
Kansas City City Tax (3.25%)
Jackson County Kansas City Zoological District SP Tax (0.125%)
Total: 18.45% in taxes. That’s crazy!
Our return Uber driver was very nice and acted as a tour guide, pointing out various areas as we returned to the hotel.
Dinner at the KC Royals ballpark tonight. Bill got me earrings for the game made by a local artist out of wood.
Can’t ask for a better day!
