SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, March 7th

Good Morning!

We are still in the mid-30's here and very drippy. had some snow flurries throughout the day. Pretty to watch, but nothing stuck. The rumor is that, while the drippiness will continue, we will be warming up about 10*. That would be nice because usually we're in the mid-50's by now!

Yesterday I finished my Lone Star quilt top. Whew! Easier and faster than I expected it would go, but now I have to piece the back as Bill - yes, Bill - found and bought a 2-1/2' x 4' panel for the back and four special purchased blocks (scenes of Texas animal life). So now to figure out how to put this all together.

BECCA - we are all anxious, I am sure, for an update on your twins. Praying for them! But in this day and age, 30-weekers really do have an excellent chance of surviving. When I was working, we usually gave parents a going-home date about the same as the natural delivery date would have been, though most babies that did well went home sooner than that.

CHICKIE - I never thought about how marbles get made! Cool! I don't understand your statement about your SIL doing 4 generations of baby clothes and entering them in an art show. What did she do with them? I don't think our friend has a website yet. He's trying to get an inventory built up as well as get his stuff into art galleries. The domestic difficulties he is having are getting in the way.

VELDA - I've tried keeping journals, too. I've given up on that though I do keep a travel journal whenever we are on the road. It's not very detailed (or very interesting) but I'm pretty faithful about it. At the very least I get every fill up recorded and work out the mileage!

IRISH - I wonder what that remodel guy is doing that it's taking so long to remodel a bathroom. Hmmm .... Nick keeps on keeping on with his robots, doesn't he! One day he's going to take the prize! I hope he gets a scholarship and I hope it's to Pittsburg U! Love your eagle lessons! Thank you! Though "E9" just doesn't have much ring to it. Maybe we should name him "Elvis Niner".

TINA - your mom loves you, but she's an angry person and you're just her target. My dad was like that, too. Though, admittedly, not to the degree your mom is. I think by staying away from her, you are doing the best thing you can for yourself and your family and even for her. But I know it hurts your heart. And when it does, snuggle your babies and know you'll never be like that to them because your nature is sweet and loving.

JANA - we'll be looking for that recipe when you get time! Sounds like the Chix condon bleu recipe will be good, too!

Well, as usual, I took a cup of chopped, cooked chicken and turned it into 2 gallons of casserole! So, we'll be eating that again tonite. And probably the next night. and maybe for breakfast . .

Anyone for casserole?

MaryZ, I thought I'd pop over and see what was for dinner. Thanks for reminding me that I have leftover Egg Stuffing casserole for breakfast. Not sure what's for dinner.

Good morning from warm but semi dreary, SW. Pa...When I went out to get the paper this morning, I thought I was in Florida...The sun was out and it was so nice and warm but now, no sun and we're back to Pa....BUT, we going to have snow for the weekend! Kathy sent me pictures of their drive to Tahoe over the weekend and the snow there is unbelievable...One picture was snow up to their 2nd floor window...(I'll take my Pa. weather)

Mary, you are quick with that Texas quilt! I've probably said this before but it takes me longer to think or pick out colors than it takes you to make a quilt...And speaking of journals, in cleaning out my desk, I found 1 that I had started years ago and (of course never kept it up) but it was fun reading...The one I'm trying to keep now, I titled it, "Our Journey into The Unknown".....I have found, just trying to keep 1 step ahead of Jim is an adventure, lol....Would you believe, he still hasn't shaved but he does look kind of cute...
And, my dream would be to have "my boys" all up here in Pa. but I'm thinking, with Stephan, he'll probably try to stay around the Ashville area after he graduates...But, who knows!
I often think about my sister and her kids...She lives in the house I grew up in and all her kids have houses on the farm property, all within walking distance of the house...I'd like my kids close but maybe not that close, lol.....

Becca, like everyone else, keep praying and hoping for good news...But, as Mary said, these little miracles have a good survival rate...You need to get those quilts finished, lol....Hope your day is nice and quiet and uneventful.....

Tina, I'm sure you're looking forward to your "spring break"...And I agree about your Mom, she's just being ornery as most Mom's can get sometimes...I often think back about my own Mom and how, when growing up, I couldn't do anything right...And then all of a sudden, I was the one she'd turn to...So, give her time but I know it hurts....

Jana, that chicken does sound yummy...I was always lazy and instead of making mine, I'd depend on Mr. Schwan...Now, I'm thinking of making that Schwan order..........See what you do to us with your cooking....

Didn't get my errands done yesterday so hopefully today we'll do some running.....Last night we did have the waffles so I need to come up with something...I do have some ground meat thawing so maybe I'll mix up some meat balls and sauce and throw it in the crock pot...(Would you believe, my friend in Florida is 87 and has never, ever used a crock pot???)In fact, I don't think she's ever used a pressure cooker either!
Oh well, spaghetti and meat balls, that's settled...Probably a salad and garlic bread to go with...........

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

Hi y'all!

Last night's dinner is moved to tonight.

Not much new here, Stu has a job now that his hand is healed. He will be cleaning and polishing commercial buildings floors. He did this in high school, so it is something he knows about. He will make good money, which he is saving to go off to college with in August. College is south of here, near St George, Snow College. It has a engineering program that will transfer to Utah State up in Logan. Snow is cheaper in the beginning for the under grad work. His degree will be a mix of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

Time to go applique the flower to my baby quilt and get it loaded.

Enjoy,
Jana

Becca - lots of prayers for those little ones. They can do so much these days for their care. It is a blessing that they are being born, in such a time with the medical advances we have now.
