Stitch Group Sunday

We met on Sunday for another great get together. Unfortunately, one stitcher wasn’t able to join us. 

We had an interesting discussion about American television shows in our youth. The start of the conversation was the Michael Jackson movie at the local Movix theater. That led to the songs of the Jackson 5 and the Osmond Brothers, then American shows that were broadcast in Japan. We were born around the 15 years post WWII, when Japan was transitioning from a war ruined nation to a rising economic power. They were watching Ben Casey, Lassie, Bewitched, and other shows I watched. Japanese people were seeing blond curly hair, beds, and people eating dinner at a high table with chairs, when they had straight black hair, slept on futons on the floor, and ate at low tables. I never thought of any of that before!

They are making wonderful progress on their gorgeous gardens.

Tea time - we had some great treats.

I took some of this home and it was all very good.

As a surprise, I was also sent home with a big tub of hand scooped mint chocolate chip ice cream!
