Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Scottie got us. It was a Friday the 13th. And that right there should have been a hint of what we were in for with this dog.
He is on the crazy side, very much an alpha dog, which is unusual for shelties who are generally categorized as timid and shy. Not our Scottie! But we love him anyway. He makes me laugh every day with his antics, so he's probably just the right dog for us.Yesterday we uncovered the half-finished quilt (Calendar Swap) that has been on the frame for more than a month while all the family was here. I finished quilting it (a freehand meander pattern) and got the binding on. Then I pieced the backing for "Harley" and he's all ready for quilting. But my SIL came by with a large quilt she wants us to do. She asked us earlier in the summer but we couldn't do it then. I'll do this one myself, also freehand meander and will probably start on it today. Harley will have to wait his turn. I also want to start cutting fabrics for my Nutcracker log cabins and flesh out some ideas I have for my Elf in the SS exchange. To provide a break in the action, I'll run a load of wash through, too and wipe down the counter in the guest bath. And that will be my day - a little bit of everything. Then evening will come and I'll work on my cross-stitch while we watch TV.
BECCA - I thought you were done with knee treatments - or will they go on as long as you need them? Are you able to leave CA while you are gone? Good to leave him with meals and notes.
TINA - wasn't that a game last night! I think everyone was surprised Seattle won - especially Frankie's new quarterback! LOL! So how many gallon ziplocs have you filled now? You are going to be eating a lot of chilies!
JANA - don't be fooled by my rhetoric! It only reads like I'm ambitious! lol! Everyone needs a sloth day now and then. How long is Kari going to be gone. Sew fast while your Batt Cave is yours! Are Michael and Daniel building more track?
LORI - sorry you had a funeral in your life. But your friend's mother sounds lovely and she left people with many beautiful memories! Yes, the boric acid works very well! And the best part is a treatment can last months or even years.
Our mystery casserole from the freezer last night ended up being diced ham, peas, wide egg noodles in a creamy mushroomy sauce. It was good and we certainly have more for tonite. These kinds of dishes can get so out of hand! We'll be eating it for 3 nights and probably toss the rest. I hate doing that but we can only eat so much.
What are you having for your supper tonight?
happy anniversary, will he get an extra treat? 9 years sure passed quickly!
I don't know much about football, my game is basketball. But I'll sit and watch with him sometimes. He tells his Broncos off even if they're winning or win
