SUPPER CLUB - Wed, Nov 30th
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2016 2:22 am
Good Wet Morning!
I sure wish we could send this rain to Tennessee! What an awful crime arson is.
IRISH - I can't believe the coincidence - choosing eagle fabric for the back of Jim's QOV quilt and he was a Screaming Eagle! Double hugs for him! (and Kitty, of course!)
JANA - so was your man soothed with your homemade noodles? I love them myself. I like the heavier texture. Like you, I just roll them out. My mom always dried them and stored them in containers on the shelf. My sis made them and put them into nice see-through containers and gave then as Christmas gifts one year. Sounds almost like Santa's toy shop down in your Batt Cave!
BECCA - you are right - being in constant pain can really eat away at a person's positive outlook. When our friends, Warren and Lois, were both so sick and it was a daily struggle for their DD, her husband began a little 'game' with her: every night at the dinner table he would ask her to name five good or positive things that happened that day. It gave her some perspective. I try to remember that 'game' when the valleys get too deep.
As an off-topic aside: Warren & Lois's son-in-law is a gr gr nephew of William Bonney, aka Billy the Kid. And he is also our financial consultant! Talk about putting the fox in the henhouse! But so far, he's a great guy and seems to have left the 'family business' in the dust. And TINA, I think Billy the Kid is buried not far from you, isn't he?
SHERRY - so nice to see you pulling up a chair with us! sounds like a lot of us have had fridge clean-out days this week!
CHICKIE - I wonder how Doyal would feel about tacos if they didn't have the seasoning on them. Would the 'look' of Mexican still get to him? No, you, and the other girls who who have stayed and lovingly cared for your mates ARE saints! Or angels at the very least. My LDH#2's ex-wife walked out on him when he got his diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. Seems she signed up for only the "better" in the 'better or worse' vow. I felt so blessed to have him for the last 3 yrs of his life.
CAROL - Thank you! I WILL definitely enjoy my massage. My sister got one while she was here and felt so much better for it. She has been having a lot of sciatica problems lately. The only pass we have to worry about will be in the Siskyous. The nice thing about an RV is you can simply hunker down in a rest area or a Walmart parking lot if necessary and wait until the highway is cleared.
TINA - we'll soon be on our way. Make room!!
We had Chinese last night for dinner. Terry and Bill said they liked it. I normally like the dishes that we had - Sweet & sour chicken, Mandarin beef, garlic chicken, and sizzling rice soup. But I didn't like them at that restaurant. The chicken had an odd taste, like it had freezer burn. Oh well. The place had a pretty name - The Panda Garden.
Today, after my massage - ahhhhhh . . . . I plan to do the last of the laundry, run the dishwasher, sweep, nag Bill to vacuum, and make a few December lotto blocks. This month is all about wintry blues and showy whites. And hey! I won the November lotto! Cool!!
We were going to leave this morning but we have these few things to finish and the weather is too nasty to be on the road today. So early tomorrow morning - we'll be gone. Not sure how internet will be on the road. Bill, being a computer geek, is usually on top of that but he operates on a need-to-know basis and so when he thinks I need to know, he'll tell me! So don't wait supper for me! I will check in when I can. As for our supper tonite - I really have no clue! Maybe I'll make spaghetti and meatballs. I have sauce and meatballs in the freezer and it will make enough for leftovers to reheat our first night on the road. and it will clear a bit out of the freezer.
