It's another early one here. But it gives me an early start to the day. I can get lots done.
VAL, how old are your great nephew and niece? I assume you will be seeing them on your trip? Your plate
seems awfully full already. Maybe you could take them something specifically from your area - tee shirts, story books, treats? And they won't take up as much room in your truck as pillows would. As "makers" always want to make the gifts we give but sometimes that can put us into overload.
JUDI - glad you had such a nice day even though you had to go to the eye dr. A closer dr would be nice, but then you wouldn't have the opportunity to spend the day goofing off at the Canal, ride the boats, and eat ice cream! Something to ponder. I've been studying up on Cathedral Windows. Seems there are several different ways to make them. When I finish my last two 'must do' projects, I'm going to get serious about them.
CHRISS - Your tomatoes sound like such a treat! I wish I could grow them here. My stainless steel sink is divided. Larger and smaller halves and both are same depth - 9". Does your dentist know you are flirting with heart issues? They may want you to take some antibiotics before any dental work - even cleanings. You might call and ask them.
LORI - you had a busy day yesterday. Are you still taking bridge lessons? I think you said you dropped the drawing classes for now but were still doing line dancing?
LYN - what a fun coincidence that you found the ironing board in one place and then the cover board in another. And that was a whopper of a fish story! Glad he moved on. He sounds big enough to have taken you with him!
MARY Q - Surprise! You know, some ladies dream of a man waking them up in the morning.
So is the dishwasher fixed now?? Our Freddys in Gig Harbor is just groceries, but it's a big grocery store. But the store in Tacoma sells everything from make-up to shoes to furniture. I haven't been in the big store in years. But prices are higher everywhere. Especially Alaska because the freight to Alaska costs more.JANA - I bet Karlie is beside herself with joy at the two new kitties. And Charger is a great name for the one who is charging all over the house, exploring. (even though I'm sure that's not the source of his name.
) And I love that Daniel is a cat person. FLO - I think anyone who loved your DFIL will love a bear made from his shirts. So nice of you to make them.
LOIS - still working on Minecraft?
Yesterday was Costco and Freddy's for groceries. We made a few other quick stops, too, while we were out. So that shot the morning. I did get my last LOTR block half finished. I'll finish that today and then I can start putting them together in the table runner. Tomorrow is going to be laundry and house cleaning day. Thursday our friend, Bob from Oregon is arriving for 2 or 3 days. He is taking part in a Ural motorcycle rally in a nearby town so he's going to stay with us and we'll babysit his dog, Bea, who is a black goldendoodle. This means another BBQ as everyone here loves Bob and will want to see him. Just deciding what to grill . . . Would like to do steak, but we priced steaks yesterday. Zowies!!
In the meantime, we have to eat tonite so we're going out with friends, Gus & Claudia, for happy hour at a Mexican restaurant. A margarita and some tacos sound good.
Happy Tuesday!
