SUPPER CLUB - Wed, March 13

Post by purrfect-lady » Wed Mar 13, 2019 3:11 am

Good morning!

Yesterday was nice. Nothing wrong with our brakes - No Charge. Breakfast with Albert - priceless! But he's a talker! So no worries about conversation starters when visiting with him! lol! then on the way home we ran 3 quick errands. Bill tried TWICE to get me to go back to Trains - my fave LQS that's closing in June. But honestly, I couldn't think of a thing that I needed. But I will probably make one more swing through the store - maybe in April. It's hard to resist quilt shop quality fabric at $6/yd.

When we got back from Tacoma I cleaned the dining room and hand washed/dried another 24 wine glasses - all souvenir glasses from wineries. They line my high-up window sills in the dining room and when the sunlight shines through they sparkle - but only if they aren't dusty! And now they aren't.

Today I want to finish polishing the wood furniture, vac under love seats, and clean bathroom, entryway, and hallway picture frames. There's also some sewing to be done, hamburger from Costco to be repackaged for freezer, and 2 loads of laundry. It sounds like a lot in writing, but It really isn't. Trust me. It should all take me no more than the morning.

TINA - the flu at your house seems to have been a bad one. Your dad is wise to have stayed away! It would be even worse for him. Did he cook for himself while on his own? After my mom died, my dad seemed to really enjoy stretching his wings in the kitchen. He loved cooking with sausage, jicama, and rutabaga. And he told me about every meal he made! lol!

JANA - congratulations go to your Sarah! What a coups to have all tickets to her concerts sold out so quickly! And yes, I admit, most of those sparkly glasses will be used tomorrow with a houseful of guests! Then I'll have to wash them all over again!

CHICKIE - oh, believe me, I didn't get the cleaning gene either! Just like you said - the occasional bee in my bonnet. And I try to use an event like company coming to spur me on. This will be the last of it until next year, probably! lol!

BECCA - the big maple tree leaning over our house has limbs as big around as my waist. So there would be no driving around them either, if they were to fall. Of course, our house would break their fall . . . :o/

Tonite will be pizza. I want to use up the last of the pizza sauce and the pepperoni. I also have green onions, sliced olives, and maybe a bit of green pepper. I want to make it a little different from the pizza I made last week.

What's the story at your house?

Good morning :o)
Mary, sounds like you've been having fun times :o)
Dad did cook for himself, he makes hillbilly food LOL well that's what he is and he'll be the first to tell you. He's from way back in the hills, he's the oldest of 18. He's a very good cook, a very good messy cook too ;o) I used to walk in the kitchen after he cooked when I was a teenager and wonder what on earth, how could he make such a mess! But it's always worth it. Dad did 98% of the cooking for him and Mom for that past 17 years before she passed, unless they ate out.
I sure wouldn't want him to get sick by my house for sure, I've even been staying home so I didn't take a chance on getting him sick. I was hoping to have lunch with him today but we're to have horrible winds and rain today so maybe lunch will be tomorrow.
There was a tornado touch down in NM yesterday evening! It was to the east and a little north of us. I haven't turned the weather on to see how bad it was yet.
We sure had some weather yesterday! I was outside in the morning for a few hours working on the back yard and watering and just before noon it got bad enough that I came inside. We even got rain for a few hours after the dirt blew so bad you couldn't see 100' in front of you! After the rain it settled all the dirt down and washed everything, I hope we get lots more rain today....if I have to have wind, I'd much rather have wet than dry and dirt blowing.
I'll be working on my tea pots today, no reason to go outside other than to feed the chicken and let them out....5 minutes tops.
I'm thinking green chile burritos for supper but I might change my mind ;o)

Good morning! I am on my phone, so this is short. I got up at 5 and got to my sister's before 6:30. I'm on mom duty until whenever they return tonight. We have had more rain and now high wind warnings for rest of the day.

Mom is doing well. I made us toast, coffee and juice for breakfast. After a morning nap, she is now sitting up reading the paper. Mom isn't a big eater. that has been her breakfast since forever.

Dinner--Mom and I will have vegetable soup I brought for lunch (her main meal of the day), and maybe some leftover soup for supper if she is hungry. DH is on his own with the fridge and microwave. If he goes hungry, it isnt because I didn't leave him with ready choices.

Bon appetit!

Well good morning ladies. Sounds like some good choices for dinner. Don't know what I will make. I need to head to the grocery store for food first.

Tina, how many chickens do you have. I have a girlfriend that has 12. So she gives me fresh eggs once a month. I missed seeing her last week, so I'm going to have to buy some.

Mary, if you still have the cleaning bug and run out of things to clean, I have a spare room if you want to visit.

Chickie, when it rains here, we usually get a break in the day. So that's when we head out to walk the dogs. Looks like our rainy season is coming to an end, so it should be a problem for a while. They let us know every morning.

Nice chatting with you ladies. Have a fabulous day. Time to take the boys for a walk.

Good morning!

No idea in dinner yet.

We did go and buy the new dining set. I am a bit worried on the color. The store lighting was terrible. The color changed in different spots in the store. Hopefully it is right in the house. We will know on Monday, when it is delivered. Sarah is taking my old set for her family/game room in her basement.

Speaking of Sarah, the pill, ignored Mom, and didn't get her mama cat spayed after the last batch of baby kittens, well, she has a new batch of babies! 5, all either white, black or one gray tiger striped. Ethan is very happy to have new baby kitties. The farmer Sarah worked for, needs a mama cat for the barn. So when this litter is grown, the mama cat will go and live on the farm.

Heading to go sew,

Enjoy, we won't starve here!

Lori, I started out with 16, but 5 were roosters and I don't want any so we got rid of those and I had 11 hens. Sadly a hawk got 1, an owl got 1 and one just fell over dead.....we think she had something wrong with her because she was 11 months old and we don't think she was laying. I get 3-6 eggs a day right now. I do have 6 new babies though, so unless anything else happens I'll have 12 hens.
Baby kittens.....Mary, did you hear Jana, baby kittens! I think you need to go visit in about 6-8 weeks hehe.
Chickie, what a long day you're going to have.
We have nasty blowing dirt again, I'm really hoping for rain to settle the dirt down.
