We've had a lot of wind and rain this past weekend and it's still going on, though at the moment, only wind. And it's a balmy 55*. But unless the wind dies down in the next 90 minutes, I won't be going for my morning walk. Too many tall trees and flying branches. A couple was killed yesterday when a big tree fell on their car.
Yesterday's house chore was deep cleaning the family room. I finally got to that! I polished all the furniture and the woodwork and mopped floors while Bill vacuumed the room rugs and tipped furniture so I could mop under it. Then, in the sewing room I got two, count 'em! TWO! LOTR blocks finished! That brings my finished total up to 21. And I think I have 21 left to do so I'm at the halfway mark. Most of them are only 7" finished. Though four of them are 7"x21". Drew wants a queen sized quilt so I'll just keep on keeping on. I'm getting faster. It takes me an average of 3 to 4 hours to do a 7" block, and 3 to 4 days to do a 21"-er. Plus a lot of head scratching on some of them!
JANA - how is your 'baby' doing? Was this his second night at home? Is he able to get around much without exhausting himself? Your kids had quite an adventure, Disney aside!! That's almost a 700 mile drive. That would take us old folks here 3 days! lol!
CAROL - you are so organized with your frozen dinners! I try to have a few things on hand in the freezer but we don't have that much freezer room. I do keep formed burgers and buns in there for a quick no-fix supper, but we're almost out of burger season now. And I freeze leftovers. They are great meals when traveling, though the freezer in our trailer is even smaller! And I want to take some blackberries to Autumn that I picked last August so I'm trying not to be too ambitious when prepping travel meals.
VELDA - you mean your old fifth-wheel has been sitting vacant all this time? They are just now taking possession? Will they travel in it or just live in it? I think Carol's "No good deed goes unpunished" description hit it on the head! That happens to be our family motto. Seems it never pays to try to be kind, but we keep trying nonetheless.
We had spaghetti last night. Lots of extra sauce. I'm thinking - do I want to freeze it for future meal or have a baked ziti for tonite? If I freeze it - and I'm leaning that way - I think we'll have baked pork chops with mushroom gravy, boiled potatoes, and salad. But I'll get input from You-know-who before I make my final decision.
What's your final decision? And then you can report tomorrow what you really had!
We do get to change our minds, you know.
I's gonna hit the fan! Some more. 
how silly!!
