I never did the downstairs uglies. I did look around, assess the dust, and decided it wasn't "ripe" yet. I dropped Bill off at his dental appt, got the mail, and stopped by the green grocer to order a box of cucumbers which are supposed to come in today. So making pickles is in my near future. Not sure if I'll do bread & butter or dill. Maybe both! The rest of the day I spent rolling around in Halloween fabrics. Working on swap blocks and SD.
JANA - I keep waiting to hear that Daniel has been called out to the fire lines. I think there are enough fires to go around for all the firefighters. I think I forgot to mention I liked your idea of an Anniversary Waltz quilt for our Valentine anniversary! Brilliant! But I don't think it's happening this year. Though this year is our 30th . . . . Sort of a marker year. Hmmm..... And we do love to waltz . . . . I might have to reconsider. . . .
IRiSH - Been hearing a lot of rumbling coming from the east - must be from all the celebrating going on yesterday! Hope your day was a good one! Bill just rebuilt our deck stairway from that non-wood lumber and our friend, Tex, had a huge deck built of similar stuff. Looks like wood but I believe it is more durable.
BECCA - both our hubbies had dental appts yesterday. We ended up with minestrone soup here and I "beefed it up" with dabs of leftovers from the fridge - garbanzo beans, sliced kielbasa, and sun dried tomatoes. I was on the right track with the twins' birthday - I got August right! And I was thinking it was the 22nd, but it was the 2nd. I was so close!
LORI - how are things in your kitchen?
TINA - Bill sold some stuff on the internet and the guy that came and bought his floor jack said he just lost two young little dogs to parvo. He said he'd never heard of it! But isn't that like one of the first immunizations puppies get? I love Iris (my fingers typed IRISH!
). She is very pretty and her attitude says it all! I hope she does OK. Our vet didn't overnight Scottie either when he had pancreatitis. We had to pick him up every day at 5p and drop him off again at 8a for a week. Kind of like he had a job.Gene seems to be doing well post-op. He was visiting his wife, Marge, yesterday. And Vicki is still "cleaning her garage". We can't see what all she is heaving out into the driveway but it's sure loud when it lands. We're amazed she still has that much strength. She was even able to roll her dryer around to the other side of her overturned fridge. The kids finally hauled the stove way or otherwise she'd have an entire kitchen out there!
One of Bill's friends from his exercise class has invited us for supper tonite and I'm making a potato salad to take. I have no idea what else is on the menu. I just offered the salad and they said yes.
Got any ideas about your supper tonite?
she's such a sweetie. Kevin was heartbroken that she was upset with him. He'd go to her kennel and she'd back all the way to the back of it and not look at him, he said it broke his heart. He's carried her over his shoulder and cradled her like a baby since they got her after Christmas. He has to sit on the floor these days to cradle her because she's so big. I'll post pics so you can see how funny my son is with her. She's all legs LOL
