I was up at 3:30 with a fussy dog and a leg cramp. The dog is happy now, but my leg will be sore all day. Ouch.
Yesterday was laundry, grocery shopping, and kitchen work. I did manage to sneak in some sewing time here and there through the day. Then at 3:30 we all went to friends for a couple happy hours, sitting out by their koi pond. Today will be last minute packing for our camping trip. We're leaving tomorrow morning and will be back Friday. We'll be 4 couples for 4 nights in Yakima. I am doing a taco supper for the whole crowd tomorrow night and I'm doing as much cooking and prep work as I can today. The plan is to have tacos, refried beans, and Mexican rice. We'll be cooking on the outdoor stove and using some small crockpots outside. Temps will be in the 90's. Ugh. We're taking a couple large fans and I have a porous tank top I put on wet and sit in front of the fans. Works pretty well to cool me off.
CAROL - you got a lot of things done yesterday! I love sheets and towels dried on the line, too. They smell so good! We also have alerts sent to both our phones the minute our credit card is used. Usually before we even leave the check-stand. Before that was available, we had our card used fraudulently about 3 times. Twice while we were traveling and it really complicated things when we had to cancel our card.
TINA - do you have fish in your pond, too, or just turtles. I've forgotten. Yes, it was fun all sewing together the other day and turned out sewing on the same thing - OWL June! I just didn't know we were having a "sew-in" until we were all done for the day! lol!
LORI - your friend's sewing space sounds amazing! Remember Pam who used to be on the forum? Georgia Peach, I think, was her forum handle. Cindy and Sue used to go visit her for a sew-in about once a year and she had about 3,000 sq feet of sewing room - the basement of her 3-story house. Plus 33 machines set up throughout the house. Cindy and Sue never had to take a machine! I need a friend like that!
I will discuss supper with my sis tonite, but I'm thinking it will be Costco's frozen lasagna, a salad, and garlic bread. Or I will make my own pesto pasta.
I'm not sure if I'll be around this week so as far as suppers go, our friend, Tex, is making spaghetti for the crowd on Tuesday. My sis is taking some food, too, but I don't know what. The fourth couple usually doesn't contribute much food, but if you'd ever tasted the weird foods that she makes, you'd know that is a lucky break for the rest of us. I have enough frozen burgers in our freezer to get us through if necessary.
How about you? What will you be making?
but it could be worse.... like in the 100's yucky!
