Today will be a few last minute things to get ready for camping - clean veggies for snacking, boil some eggs, make lemon bars, vacuum, and clean bathrooms. And then figure out supper - which will probably be to split a small steak, baked sweet potato, & salad. We won't leave until about noon tomorrow. We can't check into the state park at the ocean until 2:30 and it's a 2-hr drive. This works fine with us - we can watch most of the Seahawks 10:00am game.
LORI - sorry I missed the "Lori does all our laundry" party. I ended up having to do my own. What a pither.
LYN - Did you make it to Hays? Just for funsies, I Googled Sashiko Christmas designs and got flooded with them! Enjoy!
CHRISS - a few more days and you'll have the cleanest garage on the forum! I could hire you to make a garage call, but pretty soon you're going to be on Smooch Detail and probably won't have any free time. Five coffeemakers should hold you for a while. How is Jerry's brother doing since his surgery?
JUDI - it sure is complicated, shopping for a new knee! Hope you got all the visits, phone calls, and paperwork done and you can just sit back and fret. Have you got some good hand projects all lined up? Don't forget to download a few audio books and gather up some paperbacks.
JANA - Have you ever tried dictating your texts and posts instead of one-finger typing on your phone? Just tap that little microphone key and tap it again when finished. You have to dictate in punctuation, too or you'll have one big long run-on sentence. But do proofread. My phone occasionally changes my words to suit itself. Did the office come together yesterday? Setting it all up again to his liking should keep Mr. G out of your hair for a while.
MARY Q - NO, I do NOT watch scary movies! I watched Alfred Hitchcock's "Pscho" about 40 years ago and that was enough for me. I'm strictly a Christmas Vacation kind of movie-watcher. So? Did you go back and get that little sewing machine cabinet? Sounds like Peg is an enabler. We should all have one of those!
SHARONA - your experience with your tote sounds like my troubles with my little project this week. It took me 7 days to make something that should have taken me only 4 hours at most. Now I'm hesitant to start anything else. Have fun at the soccer game. I assume it's grand(s) that are playing? How far is Alamosa?
BECCA - did your swimming tire you out? I know you're still not quite up to "snuff" on the energy scale. I'm still having to stop to take short rests between activities.
TINA - how are you feeling? How is Dad doing? Did you finish your sew along quilt? I was gone all of August and lost track.
LOIS - how's the trip going? Did you say you're coming home today instead of Sunday? I say stretch it out and do some other fun thing!
Yesterday I kitted up a wall-hanging project that I bought for myself while in Alaska. I'm going to take it camping. Well, that's about all I have for now. Foxy is demanding some attention and he has 20 sharp little stickers to encourage me to obey his commands. Have a super Saturday!
