It was a VERY windy day here yesterday with gusts up to 40mph. I saw things on the grass in our yard (campsite) and went out to see what they were. Two sites up someone's trashcan blew over and trash was blowing all over! Well, I was into it then, so I fought the wind and picked up all their trash (yuck!) and repositioned their can and secured the lid. Then their yard flag was in danger of blowing away so I pulled up the stake and laid it down under their trailer. I hope they find it. They weren't home.
CHRISS - I loved the picture of Jerry and his brother. Jerry looked pretty good in the photo though I suspect it took all his energy to pose for it. When you 'set up' the spare room, are you going to set it up as a guest room? Overflow sewing? Craft room? And oh! I hear you on a dog's potty site selection. I always wonder what makes one place more desirable over another. And why it takes them so long. It's just potty, for cat's sake!
JANA - good to know we have someone in the crowd who can control the clouds! Such a handy skill! Your party sounds like it's all coming together.
MARY Q - if your state flower blocks came in a panel, then they aren't the same ones I did. Mine were ones that were individually stamped on 12" blocks, though when I was done with mine, I think I trimmed them all down to 9" or 10". Has the fabric storm passed or do you think there is more to come? Thanks for reminding me to make sure Scottie is included in our book for Amara. She loves him. She's never met Foxy but she does have 3 cats of her own, Sunny, Ninja, and Alki. They have those neat handles on their back ends for easy grabbing!
Autumn has made sure the cats have several high places to nap out of reach.TINA B - I understand wanting to spoil your hard-working daughter. I've made a few things to tuck into Autumn's freezer. Harder to cook for them, though. They are both vegetarians plus Antonio's BS is too high and he's now termed "pre-diabetic".
LYN - I love your yard - and I remembered that you had mowed it even if your hubby didn't! Oh, I can't imagine being allergic to cats! When I met Bill, I told him if he has any allergies he just better get over them, because the cats had seniority and they were there to stay. I was thinking of your poor neighbor yesterday. Is she one who helps keep an eye on your place when you're not there? Tempe, AZ?? There wasn't anyplace in Texas that could take her? Austin? Dallas? Houston? What were her injuries.
JUDI - happy vacationing! Have you been in the pool yet? Hit any LQSs? Yarn stores? I love yarn even though I don't use it. Our weather seems to go east so be prepared for a lot of wind soon. Glad you are set for Mexican Train. Where did you find the game to buy?
KATY - it's hard to keep up with all that's going on in your life! Praying everything and everybody all turns out the way it's meant. Stay well! P.S. I'm glad you went for the steak for your birthday lunch. Catfish! Double ick!
Yesterday we cleaned our trailer. Took a long walk, and I put a big crockpot of chili on to cook. Then I got out Fab Farm and it took me the rest of the day, but I got 'er dun! It's ready for quilting! After that I got all my sewing projects and the machine all packed away for travel. We've been here 3 months and I've only been able to get 4 quilt tops finished. But it's still the best Texas winter yet!
This morning I mopped the trailer floor. Not on purpose. Scottie was so excited about his breakfast he was jumping into the air and came down in his water dish. Water water everywhere! So as long as the water was there, I pulled out a big rag and voila`! Another to-do-before-we-leave job crossed off my list! A bad dog turned into a good dog, just with a flick of a rag! Today we're back to babysitting. Maybe today will be walking day. She is taking a single step but just to get from one place to another. I call them transition steps. Wishing everyone a Marvy Monday!
