To my friend at Vanilla Bean Baker -- yes "Harry Bauld" IS an oxymoron. The kids always loved that!
And to all -- never, ever, ever, ever do I or would I judge or 'grade' anyone else's writing (unless they're paying me to do so). That part of my life is gone--thankfully. I'm thrilled to read your blogs and comments all.
Well, tonight I did it. All day I'd been preparing for book club, but since we have a cat, we had to have the meeting elsewhere (a couple of our members are allergic). Since it was my turn to lead the discussion, I spent the day re-reading Kristin Hannah's Winter Garden, making notes, and since the main characters owned an apple orchard, I made an apple cake.
At six, I changed, gathered the book, the cake, and some decaf green tea I thought we could serve, and set out. I knocked on the door, my friend answered and informed me that we were meeting tomorrow night. I had copied the date down wrong on all six of the calendars in this house...Sheesh.

Oh my, that is funny! Well, you are all set for tomorrow now!
At least they know you will be prepared when you come tomorrow!
Funny, Kathy.... I forgot my haircut appointment last week... Didn't even write it on the calendar at all. Duh!!!!!!
Guess we call those "Senior Moments"...
Hugs,
Betsy
I thought I was the only one who did things like that. But at least you're well-prepared for tomorrow.
HAHAHA!! Too funny! This is taking the "be prepared" Scout motto just a tad far. But, you can relax today!
To quote the Black Eyed Peas...*Tonight's the Night* and no doubt your book club will begin with your story of showing up a day early! Too funny. Hope they all enjoy that apple cake and tea. I know I would.
Oh, goodie, I am not alone. LOL
Thanks for your comments. I love my new and smaller writing workshop. If you get a chance to read more often than once a month, you learn faster. I'm really grateful that the workshop is a mile away from the house too.
And how was the Book Club meeting? :)
Oh that is funny!!! You should be all set to try again tonight.
Ha! That's pretty hilarious. At least you didn't show up a day late. ;-)
Six calendars? I'm always getting those moments of panic where I wonder if I wrote something down, or got the wrong date. It happens.
Funny! I kept MISSING meetings before I realized I was running three calendars on my iPhone....I wondered what the little different colored dots were for! At least you didn't miss anything. :D
Hoo boy! I guess we've all done that at one time or other. I know I have. I have a calendar in my purse, on my wall in the kitchen and on my desk.
I think apple cake gets better when it's had time to meld the flavors. My bookclub is tomorrow. I'm bringing tea!
