East to West

I had my first opportunity to share with a group on Wednesday.  My mom accompanied and we drove two hours to a small central PA town.  I wanted to show the diversity of London (and to dress up!).  I decided to wear a red salwar kameez.  After all, when else will I get to wear one????

I had to laugh when I realized what a sight I would make, climbing into my brother-in-law's truck in a salwar kameez.  It was definitely a picture worthy moment!

We stopped for dinner along the way, pulling into a Burger King because we didn't have enough for a proper sit down meal.  I put on my longer black coat so I wouldn't stand out too much.  A very nice (chatty) woman named Verna took our order. 

As we walked out, Verna came running after us.  "I haven't seen anyone wearing pants like that since I was in high school," she said.  Mom and I chuckled and I unbuttoned my coat to show her my entire outfit.  She oohhed and ahhed over the pretty design.  I'm glad we could brighten her evening of work.

My evening talk went very well also.  About 45 people came, which surprised me.  Most were of an older generation!  One woman came to me afterwards to thank me for my presentation.  She said, "It was so interesting but I'm so angry at myself!  I kept dozing off but I really wanted to hear what you were saying!"
