The Only Thing I Wish I’d Done

We had such a great time, and I saw four great shows, plus saw a lecture on Picasso (did not do an art auction), and took a towel folding class. I had wanted to do the Golden Girls trivia, but it looked like there was no room. My sister and brother-in-law did General Trivia in the bigger space, and my sister came in tenth out of 310 people. But I guess the real trivia winners got a Carnival cruise medal (pictured around Annelyn’s neck). At dinner, the actual winners of the trivia contests brought their medals over and gave one to Hudson and one to Annelyn. You would have thought Hudson earned a medal of honor. It was sweet. Did you earn medals? I had to think hard, and the last time had to be the Math Olympics when I was ten years old. How about you?

A lost “art”, nowadays.

If I remember right, I got a medal once for reading so many books in elementary school.

Too bad you missed out on the Golden Girls trivia, I bet it would have been fun and guaranteed you would have won! Since you took the towel folding class are you going to be folding your towels like that at home I haven't won any medals

I think it’s safe to say those were well deserved.

Sounds like the kids were a big hit on the cruise ….. I won an award for ‘ Best Presenter ‘ when I did hospital radio…..

We win tons of medals on trivia and I always give mine way to a kid or a senior citizen in a wheelchair

No, I got a blue ribbon for swimming once though. I am good at trivia but usually where I have gone they hand out gift certificates or chocolate bars.

Sorry you didn't get to do the trivia. That is cool they gave them the medals. I don't think I ever did, that I remember anyway

The towel folding class sounds kinda fun... i would have signed up just to see what they make. Sister coming in tenth out of 310 is pretty solid ...and no, never went for competition
