Chilly morning here. No deck sitting. But from my living room where I'm sitting, I can look past the dining table and out the slider and SEE the deck, at least.
Yesterday, after Bill and I went for our blood draws, my sis and I went out for a leisurely day of girl shopping. We got a few things at other places but our big score was at the Goodwill. I got 20 yds (7 large cuts) of fabric for about $1.70/yd. Today I'll be washing that, along with sheets from our bed. That's my only plan for today, but I'm sure some kind of trouble will come along for me to get into.
TINA - my DBIL is also on the hunt for green chile. He means the canned pork green chile, which I find particularly nasty (read the ingredients. Or maybe you shouldn't!) . But he did get diced green chilies, which we put on our tacos last night. I thought you had A/C in all of your house now - part of the point of the solar panels. Sewing is hot work because of lights and iron.
BECCA - Do you have a walk-in shower and a shower chair? At one of our thrift shops outings during my sister's visit I bought a shower stool for $4. Bill thought I was nuts, but we've had two incidents where we needed one, so I figure we can hang it in the garage rafters and it will be there if/when we ever need one again. A new baby in your family! Is this a first for this couple? Are they sure it's not twins?!?
LORI - I've had ebelskivers! Do you have a pan to make them? Our old friend, Lois, loved them and made them in her younger years. Sorry they weren't at your street fair but beignets were a nice substitute.
CAROL - our fall is beginning here. Lots of leaves already down due to heat and lack of rain. But our temps are dropping now. 70's for next 10 days or so and I see 69* looming after that. An air conditioned mall sounds like a good place to hang out during the heat.
Unless someone here has a better plan (and no one ever does), I'm thinking we'll have orange chicken over white rice tonite. And I'll make a salad with my sister's fresh veggies she bought and left in my fridge. I might offer mac & cheese as a second choice. After our doctor visits this coming week, we probably won't be eating much pasta for a while so we better scarf it down while we can!
How is your dinner plan coming along?
