I Love ?...AtoZ Letter K

I asked Alma if she would open the Grand Jury Room for me so I could get an idea of how I wanted to arrange the tables for the 'Painless Jane Class'...as it was now dubbed by the 'Stitchers'.  It was funny how their traditional quilting mindset had taken to the idea of quilting on the 'Rotary Cutting Edge' of technology.  But, that's a subject for later.  Right now I'm desperately seeking a plug...hopefully one with at least 20th Century wiring.

"Found it'", I announced to Alma who was on the other side of the room looking between the Stash Cabinets. "Oh, good, I was afraid we would have to get out the heavy duty extentsion cord from behind the big screen", Alma said as she made her way over to the questionable plug...question being did it work? "I hope we don't have to do that," I said as I flipped back the quilt that hid the plug. Alma lifted the quilt a little higher and exclaimed, "Would you look at that?"

With her free hand covering her mouth in surprise, Alma spoke as if she had seen a ghost, "I'd forgotten all about it.  My goodness, that brings back memories.  It was such a dilemma.  Mama insisted I choose one or the other, and Daddy said he didn't care, just as long as he could pay for everything without going into debt." 

I could just envision Alma versing  Eenie Meenie Miney Mo  between her husband Sherm...a cross between Larry the Cable Guy and Toy Story's Woody...and well, anybody else.  "You poor thing, it must have been a heart breaking decision for a young girl in love with two guys," was all I could think of saying.  "Whaaaaat???  Two guys??  For cryin' out loud, I was only 12!!!!", and at that, she unlocked the door just to the right of the 'I Love ?'  and motioned for me to take a look inside.

"My parents made me choose between Quilting and Knitting, cause they couldn't afford for me to do both."

As I looked around the room filled with baskets, bags and shelves of yarn and all of the gadgets, needles, books, and on and on,

 I knew what the answer to my next question was bound to be.  Before I could ask it, Alma said,

 "I chose KNITTING"

"But you are such an expert Quilter...like you have been quilting your whole life, and you're President of the Guild. 
When did you start quilting?" was my stunned reply.

"When Sherm and I married."

Alma to Sue

Do you Knit?  We'd love to have you join The Courthouse Knitters Guild!

Sue to Alma

No ? about it,  I Love Knitting.  My husband calls me SueKnitWitty!

Sue....I see absolutely NO reason why I can't belong to both

The Courthouse Stitchers and The Courthouse Knitters.

Alma...Good, all the rest of us are!

 

See ya tomorrow for the Letter L!
