SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, Aug 19
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2017 3:16 am
Good morning!
We're going to about 74 degrees today. Purrfect! But we have a cloudy morning first. Our big project of the day - wood! I bet you're getting is tired of hearing that as I am! lol! our woodshed has 4 sections and each section holds about 2 cords. Today we're going to move the oldest, driest wood into the garage so we have space to stack the last of our green wood. When we get the dry moved, we'll finish up splitting/stacking the green. It should all be done sometime next week! While we were out there yesterday I got some weeding done, too. Hope to get a bit more done today. And yes, I even managed to get in a wee bit of sewing! But I ditched the vacuuming. I manage to talk myself out of that almost every day! lol!
BECCA- I hope your DGS's business comes to no harm during the frenzy. you made me think - we should also fuel up our car. We'll have about 92% here, but there's still a lot of traffic - mostly trying to get to Oregon. I'm glad your son is taking over the mowing. It's a big job, even on a riding lawnmower. Are you trying to lose weight? Or did it just happen? I'm glad you got some response at least but I wish it had been faster and that you actually had an appointment much sooner than "September".
LINDA - the business is done, you found your old restaurant, and you have a new Featherweight! Life is smiling on you! Sorry you have dental woes now. They do a lot of procedures differently now. Our dentist does the same thing with crowns, only he has dispensed with the labs and makes his own crowns - all in one visit. I haven't done one like that yet, but he says it's pretty slick. I didn't ask if it was cheaper . . . afraid to!
JANA - enjoy your ride! Taking a day long ride used to be the entertainment of the day when I was growing up. Most Sundays found us exploring mountain passes, the ocean beaches, or taking the Olympic Loop. Hope you get home for the fiesta! Thank you for the invitation. We most likely won't take you up on it though because we will be in a time crunch. I can't believe when we made the plans and reservations for our ocean trip that we forgot about the Utah trip! Since the ocean outing involves lots of other folks, there is no changing it. We just have to make it work.
Tonite we have been invited to a small gathering at our friend's art studio. He is a glass artist and gaining some national attention this past year. He was working out of the back of his garage but now has a beautiful new studio in the woods on the back of his property. About 4 couples will be there, all our friends. We all take a bottle of wine and an appetizer. (I'm taking tiny pesto cheese tarts). He does this about once a year and there is always enough food to call it 'supper'. It's fun to see the business end of his art, but there are always some finished pieces to admire, too.
What's on your menu for tonite?
