Monday, March 3 was my day to get Wyatt's quilt finished and make sure everything fit in the suitcase that was going. I had lots of visitors in and out - but my story is about David. He called and said he wanted to come visit. I told him I was getting ready to go and could not look at any of his wares. He told me he would just come for a visit and wouldn't bring his bags and things for sale. I told him that was fine.
Erica came twice for the last few things she had made and to make sure everything was perfect. She really is a darling girl and I'm hoping she can find customers for her products. I love her cream! It helps a lot in my skin retaining moisture. She was here about 20 minutes each time - very typical. David on the other hand came about 11 or 11:30 and stayed until Jeffrey came home!
I am not sure what the deal was. Maybe he had no where else to go. I had offered a lunch as I still had some of Comfort's frozen meals left. Asante came right in because my door was open. I don't like to have men over by themselves and always leave the door open if we are alone. Between the different people coming and going, there were times I was alone with David. So the door was open most of the day.
I kept right on putting my quilt together and did not stop working despite my visitors. I told all of them where they could pick up what they wanted or spoke with them over the whirl of the sewing machine. David took an hour and a half to eat jollof rice and a piece of chicken! Amazing, I haven't seen that before. I have watched people inhale their food, but one bowl of rice and a chicken piece? Every time I looked up he was still eating.
Toward the later afternoon he wanted some advice and came close to where I was sewing. I stopped a minute or two so I could help him get hooked up technology wise and even had a short chat with Sherri Despain!
David needs some things resolved with the museum in Salt Lake and I was not going to take on his troubles. I did show him how to call and video chat on Facebook messenger. Then I left him to his calls to get my piece finished. When Jeffrey came home, I signaled him with a look to have David go home. Jeffrey is very good at politely and generously helping people go on their way. I am going to have to set some boundaries and think about how I'm going to do that.

By nightfall, I was ready to go! So all's well that ends well.
