I feel like a YOUTUBB-er using a subject title like that.
Now that everyone has my attention.
It has been two weeks since my last drink...... oh, sorry, wrong group.
It has been two weeks since, I got invited to the ROCK Club, as we call it in our home. (the president texted me to say the Club was reopening after lock down)
No sooner did I walk in the door, I had paperwork shoved into my fat fingered clammy hands, and was asked if I was joining also were the four kids becoming members
and..... "did they want to start making something today, oh we don't do that for the 6yr old unless she can take instructions well, do you have safety gear,
the cost of joining fee, membership fee's (take a moment to breath) birth dates for special recogniton, we are having a General meeting, are you all coming
we love kids in the Club, we cater but there are costs for each meal, let us show you all around. The kids can get to work, the little one is doing a great job.
Just got a call, cleaning out a house this afternoon, family collection, need everyone here to go, Club will have to close at 2pm today."
LOL, it was an interesting 'meet and greet' at the "ROCK Club" :lol: :lol: :lol:
None of this was offensive, but it was all in a rush and I think I suffered a little PTSD later that day from it. :lol: :lol:
I have never had such a whirlwind of information, and enthusiasm, and Club details thrust upon me in my life while still trying to keep a handle on the kids supervision. :8
BUT, at the end of the day, we were fully fledged members, the kids were well on the way to making their first cabochon rocks, even miss 6, they were clearly enthusiastic
and focused, beaming with their achievements. Kato now has an opportunity to learn about silversmithing.
The instructor was amased that the kids were all so focused and attentive to instruction and the work.
We were organised for the General meeting on the Friday evening (my wife even took the minutes)
Prepared for the next Sat for more work on their rocks. (just last weekend)
AND we have been roped in to a "popup mineral show" in a month. :awful: miss 11 and miss 12 will likely be catering the hotdog stand
erfect:
I'm screwed !!
:lol: :lol: :lol: If you don't laugh you have to cry. All this because I took them to a Detecting and Mineral show about 5 years ago.
The General meeting was pretty funny, paid for the meals and got sorted out, bought raffle tickets, sat at the table and ate, the kids felt at home
and were well welcomed by the members. We won a prize with one of our tickets, Kato had the ticket so chose her mineral specimen.
None of the other girls were either disappointed or sad by not winning.
However every ticket that won a prize; that prize ended up in front of the girls as a gift from that member, that was very generous and unexpected.
Images of the girls first days work, and, second days efforts are below.
