Good morning,
I'm up at the same time, but with DST, now it doesn't seem quite so early since we're calling 3am 4am now.
MARY Q - We have one of those projection clocks, too. So nice! It automatically changes the time. It sets on the wide windowsill above the headboard and sometimes Foxy knocks it catty-wampus. Did you enjoy the birthday party at the bowling alley? Was there bowling or just partying? And what are you sewing today?
JANA - I love dishes, too! High Five, Sistuh!! I have service for 24 of my main set - Summer Chintz by Johnson Bros. Serv for 10 of Fiesta Ware in mixed colors. China for 8, American flag dishes for 6, plus my Christmas dishes. I had two other sets of Christmas dishes (for 8 each) but gave them away along with a set for 8 of ironstone with pine cones on it. But I have to start cutting down. I just do! It's too much.
SHARONA - Oh no! Not another ablation! Seems like things didn't go well after your last one. When is your OH company coming? Your DGD's? You can have my Christmas dishes if you want them! I can send you a picture first, though. My sister is visiting here in Aug. If you really love the dishes, I can send them back with her. She lives in Longmont. If you are serious, let me know and I'll send you a photo. They are cream ironstone, green edge, with snowman and trees in the middle. Stemware is etched with wintry snowy trees.
TINA - forgetting what I was going to say happens to me all the time, and I didn't have Covid! Guess you need a pad of sticky notes. They come in really handy!
LYN - I guess I meant roots AND plants! lol! Bummer about that C-Pap elbow connection. Will the trash still be there when you go back to the house? Or can you get a new one? Glad you caught the cross braces. I'm not sure I'd have noticed that. When will you go back to the house? When they are setting your cabin?
CHRISS - glad you were able to get your groceries. Do you have to go all the way to Merced for groceries or is there a store closer to you? Didn't some folks from your church offer to stay with Jerry so you could get out occasionally? I'm glad you let yourself have some pancakes with real syrup. You needed those pancakes!
JUDI - yay! You got that room done! Did you wash the windows in there? Are you going to sew today?
LORI - you are right about it being extra work to swap out sets of dishes. I do it less and less. The Fiestaware, which I love, is getting too heavy for my arthritic hands. We carry our plates downstairs (in winter) and eat in front of the fire, sitting in our recliners, holding our plates. Imagine the room I'd have in my cabinets if I sent my Fiestaware to Sharona with the Christmas dishes!
LOIS - how is your pineapple adventure coming along?
Yesterday morning I finished cleaning the quilting room, covered the machine and frame with old sheets, and turned off the light. Whew! We quilted 11 quilts since we came home from Texas. I did 10, Bill did 1. I'm pooped! And a few days ago my SIL asked me if I would do free quilting for her church craft group! She really picked the wrong time to ask me that! It was a hard NO. I was proud of myself even though she looked shocked that I didn't say yes. And kind of angry. She left quickly after that.
And for 6 hours yesterday Bill and I sat together in front of his computer making Amara's 20-page, hard cover book through Shutterfly. It was just like scrapbooking with a computer. Fun, but we were tired when we finished. Whew! We had Amara's sent directly to her but four more copies are coming to us within 2 weeks. My POTD is more cleaning. I'm kind of on a roll. Dusting and vac'g the living/dining room and my sewing room, then do the main bathroom. And just maybe I'll actually get to go play with my toys in the sewing room. I'm getting anxious to start my Christmas quilts. I have the fabrics half pulled. JUDI is getting ahead of me!
Y'all have a marvy monday!
