Funny, when I was young I thought Homemaking Meeting was just for old ladies. Ernestine thinks I am young. Hah.
That said, really, all the cutsie crafts and cooking classes really were more useful for the newlyweds. I think it would be a very hard thing to have an Enrichment calling and keep trying to think of ideas to keep such a spread of ladies busy, and in truth, Ernestine was only one of a couple of senior citizens there. (The others were there with their daughters.)
I watched the cooking demonstration, which was about "cheating." They used prefrozen bread dough to make rolls, breadsticks, and monkey bread. I don't know if I could ever bring myself to do that. I made one jar of layered soup mix, which I gave to Ernestine, and then I just worked on my scrapbook. I had a big audience, so I think I wasn't the only one who didn't need more crafty holiday decorations.
Then we had lunch, an event at which I shine. Thank heaven lunch isn't just for newlyweds!

Today I dragged Ernestine Boonstoppel out of bed and took her to Super Saturday. At lunch, she asked "Isn't this Saturday meeting just for young sisters".

I always thought Homemaking was for old people too, and that the only reason it is so newlywed-friendly here is because 90% of my ward has been married less than 2 years. So far, we've learned about different cultures, learned how to crochet/sew/mend things, and had everyone shares their FHE ideas. We should make soup-in-a-jar and do stamping!
