SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, Feb 16th

Good Morning!
We have no rain at the moment, but it will return. That's OK. I've had enough dry this winter to last me through spring! Speaking of spring, all my spring flowers are up, though not blooming yet. I really need some time to clean out the leaves and winter debris from the flowerbeds so they will show off to maximum effect.
SHIRLEY MAE - welcome! Nice that your DH cooks. Mine rarely does and I don't encourage him. When I had surgery once and he cooked, it didn't take me long to force myself back into the kitchen. He SAID that in his past life, his 'old wife' sat on a stool and read the newspaper aloud to him while he did the cooking. Every night. She must have had a stomach of steel. Or he poisoned her. It had to be one or the other! lol!
CAROLE with an E - Name tags is cheating! lol! We have 3 different people willing to take Scottie - my DS & BIL who already have one sheltie, our good friends in Oregon, and Autumn said if they fall through she'll take him but small yard, two full-time jobs, and 3 cats isn't the best home for a dog.
CHICKIE - your Doyal is full of surprises! What a thoughtful, loving gift!! He's passed another challenge on his quest! (I think that's what they say in those on-line fantasy games to get elevated to the next level, right?) I can picture your Hooligans in the backseat at the bank, alert and drooling. Maybe we should call them "Hoot-i-gans". lol! Because they are a hoot!
JANA - congrats on solving the engineering problem! Hope you got the credit that goes with such an achievement. Boy, your kids are certainly struggling with their house/builder. I hope, when it's all done and they move in, that it's a solid, quality home. That builder has me suspicious.
IRISH - I love what you did with your pig-shaped cutting board! lol!! Give them a laugh! Since my daughters have no interest (at this time. Still hoping!) in sewing, I told my quilty DDIL that all my stash and machines would go to her. We were standing in my sewing room at the time, and she just looked slowly around, eyes glittering, and let out a low 'woooooowwwww'. Then turned to me and asked how I was feeling . . .
BECCA - I sure feel for you and for your DH. Praying one day he improves and you can both have a better quality of life.
CAROL without an 'e' - where are you?? I hope you aren't wasting away to nothing!
Our neighbor lined up all her stuff again between our yards, but this time at least it's closer to the property line. I am trying to recall times and things she's said and done in the past few years that would indicate her break with reality just in case the kids ever have to go to court to try to save her house because of those mortgages that couple took out. Trying to prove incompetency after the fact might be pretty difficult. But we're willing to help if we can. Though our other friend who has had similar dealings with this couple says they are vindictive. That's not good . .
Tonite's supper - hmmm.... I think baked chicken and sweet potatoes and salad. I can make the salad ahead of time and top it with a damp paper towel to crisp it up, and simply pop everything else into the oven come suppertime. I'm a big fan of easy!
Are you cooking tonite?
