Quilt in a Day Forums

Good Morning!

JANA - your recipe sounds delish! I make one dish pasta meals all the time, but never tried Swiss cheese sauce. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

JO - we have both charcoal and gas grills, but use the gas much more often. It's so quick and easy!

BECCA - Oregon does make more sense if you're following Lewis & Clark's Trail - which I think you said they were. There is Ft. Clatsop on the Oregon side of the mouth of the Columbia where L & C ended their journey and spent the winter before turning back. LDH#1, Mike & I visited there on our honeymoon - 43 yrs ago. But it's a long 3 hours from Hoodsport! Do you have a map to follow their travels? A pin for each night stayed would make a fun thing for the kids (and you!) to see when they get back.

JO - I'm not sure I'd like a chocolate fountain either. You ever know who's going to stick what in there!

IRISH - what are you doing to liven your day today?

Yesterday Bill finished quilting the Cabin Swap quilt, and I got it bound, labeled, and on our trailer bed. It will look fine once it gets a good sheen of cat hair on it! lol! Today I'm packing clothes into the trailer. Most of the food and sewing went in yesterday. I also plan to start stitching down my fused Sisters quilt.

For supper tonight, it's back to visit Warren and Lois. Should be an interesting visit. Apparently, Lois didn't know her granddaughter last week when the granddaughter brought her new baby to meet them. But she thought the baby was nice!

Hope your supper is interesting, too, but in a good way!

Good morning from a very dreary, chilly, Sw. Pa....

Mary, Hope your visit with Lois and Warren is a good one....So sad about Lois...You know, when I decide to make a quilt for us, I always make sure the colors blend with the cat fur...Even most of our clothes blend with the fur...Things you gotta do...

Not a good day for doing laundry, which I had planned, so that just fouls up the whole day, lol....Now I might not do anything....See what happens when my schedule gets messed up.....Schedule, that's a good one!

We only have the gas grill, got rid of the charcoal a long time ago...I had a habit of creating a bonfire when I lit that thing and I think the neighbors are happy I threw it away....
Yesterday, we did have the burgers on the grill and they were super...Maybe I will put a meat loaf in the oven...House just needs something to take the chill away. (This is June, isn't it??)

Happy eating.................

Good Morning Everyone.A nice day here.

This morning I was supposed to get oil change & hair cut.That is put off until tomorrow.Could not get appt.So I tied up with poles & string my beans in garden.These are my later beans.

MARYZ I wish I did have a map.I have no clue about the trail they are using.It is trail used by many cyclists in the past.They were both so busy before they left I never thought to ask for map.Denise did a lot of the planning.
Sure Sorry to hear about LOIS.C.A.s Mom did not know him for 3 yrs before she died.Thought he was her DH or DB.Never her son.It is sad to see when it is a loved one.Or anyone for that matter.

DH still is only wanting soup.And sandwich.Will do salad,fruit & beans.Plan to eat out tomorrow....Becca

Good Evening All......today the weather was fine from 10am.....before that we had the most tremendous downpour....and last night a really scary thunder storm.....where is all this weather coming from.......we are now June for goodness sake....blimey....June....halfway through the year.....that's scary on its own.......

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.......

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS US....BUT LOVES US ANYWAY.....

Right now about my stash.....MARYz and IRISH.....as I sit here I am thinking.....by the time you have swam the Ocean...crossed the Channel.....trekked through to waterlogged Hereford....macheted your way through all our LONG GRASS......and just in case that doesn't fag you out....let it be known.....my stash is behind a Chocolate lock and key...and that I am quite prepared to eat at the first sign of danger....so if you are going to come....can you please make it between 7pm and 8pm.....cos that's when I am partial to a bit of Chocolate.......

Yet another CS quilt has been displayed...by Tess....oh dear....I am so so in awe of you clever ladies....while mine is making very slow progress.....in fact....its back in a box....have been making some more Fabric Boxes as requested by my Cindy who thinks......"I have a clever mummy".....

BECCA....I am trying to follow your DS and DDIL on the map I have.....but my map isn't very good.....BUT.....I am trying....goodness....but they are brave......

OK....time for the menu....Roast Chicken(from sundays left over)in a Mushroom Sauce with New Potatoes...Mushrooms and Peas.....Scones with Strawberry Jam and Clotted Cream for afters.....
