Yesterday was a mish-mash of various things. Bill finished quilting Lemur so now I have two quilts to bind. I cut what I could of Unicorn and sewed some of the pieces together. Still waiting on jelly rolls to arrive (Thursday) so I can do the manes. Today I'm taking my elderly friends out to lunch. One lives in Gig Harbor and one lives in Tacoma. Going to try a new Italian restaurant in Tacoma. They are 86 and 94 and need assistance getting in/out of the car and sometimes even into the restaurant. Some places have such heavy doors. Today's restaurant choice doesn't have a parking lot so it's a matter of blocking traffic while I run around the car, get them out and into the restaurant and leave them with the hostess while I run back to the car and go find street parking. When we leave I reverse the process and then take everyone home. It's a long afternoon for the small amount of time I get to spend with them. But they love getting out and I love them. I've known Norie since 1968 (I was 17) and I met Esther in 1989. And it was years before I realized that they've known each other since about 1955! We have history.
CAROL - you have a lot going on in your sewing room! That Nativity set is a cutie, isn't it. Bill is legally blind in his R eye. They can't fix that but dr says removing the cataracts will help the little that he can see. When he covers his L eye, he can see a person sitting 6 feet from him, but he can't recognise the person. He can usually tell male/female. So they will do the bad eye first. I really want him to wait until we come home in Feb but you may have noticed this about husbands - they don't always do things the logical way (meaning our way!
). TINA - glad the party was fun - and the after party! I bet Preston was thrilled with it all. But sorry the phone people are giving you such a rough time. Good customer service seems to be a thing of the past nowadays. I hope you are rested up today and can get back to the Quilt Assembly Line.
IRISH - there you are! I was getting ready to call out the search dogs! I remember that you were going to be having the kids but didn't know when. A box of china is kind of a hard thing to ship to them. Guess you will have to go visit! Can't believe little Lena is going to be 5 already. And Kathy is coming to town for it! And how is Tim doing since he was so sick in Europe? Fully recovered? Did your sister every have her knee replacement?
I'm not sure about supper tonite since I'm going out for a big lunch. I think I'll make grilled cheese sandwiches w/ tomato soup or else eggs and hashbrowns. I doubt I'll be hungry but Bill will probably expect something to appear before him.
What might you be having for your supper?
I hope you all have a fun visit and it's a yummy lunch!
