SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, March 29th
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 3:39 am
Good morning!
Still camping here, near Moses Lake, WA, halfway between Seattle and Spokane. But yesterday we heard that the park we really wanted to go to in Yakima, 100 miles SE of here, is now open! Yay! So we decided to move there this morning. We'll be there for 3 nights before we have to go home. The good news is that it's in the heart of wine country! So we'll be doing some more tasting. We are members of two wine clubs there so we can taste for free, and buy at discounts, should we opt to purchase anything. haha! Who am I trying to kid? I'm sure we will find something we like well enough to make good use of those discounts.
Yesterday I got out my sewing and made blocks for the April Lotto - star blocks in Red, white, and blue fabrics. I brought along my FGV book and a tote of 30's fabrics, but I don't know if I'll get it all out again. In the trailer, it's more work to get out the machine, fabrics, tools, pressing mat, iron, etc and later to put it all away again than it's worth for just a day or a few hours.
JANA - I'm so happy that Michael's shoulder is improving, especially without surgery! I fear many doctors are quick to jump right to the OR. Do you use the Young Living products? I like some of them. Especially the lavender essential oil and the Thieves hand soap. Just can't afford them!
CHICKIE - I'm so sad about the little cows that aren't making it. I wonder why the mortality rate is so high this year. I didn't realize Doyal had decided to go ahead with his surgery. When is it scheduled? Wishing him the best of everything with it. Cooking will certainly be different for you from then on. You know I'm offering prayers for your DD. I hope they figure her out soon and that it's nothing too serious.
TINA - sounds like things are busy at your house, but the eatin' is good! Are you getting any sewing done?
BECCA - Maybe, if your son remodels his house and gets new furniture, it will not only look different but it will be HIS, with all the work and decision making he is putting into it. Maybe he will be happy in it once again. Saying a prayer for him as he moves forward with his life.
LINDA - wow! Lots happening with you, girlfriend! Congratulations on your class! I bet you are looking forward to the next one. In fact, sounds like lots of things to look forward to in your near future! enjoy all your travels. I've forgotten just where you will be going in WA. And the Oregon Coast is a drive no one should miss. Breathtaking views.
BECKY - I'm sorry so many in your family have dietary problems. Makes it difficult for the cook. I thought of you yesterday. I made a comfort call to a friend in Olympia. They had just lost their 14 yr old sheltie. Because their dog was so sick for so long, they had curtailed their social life, so I invited them to supper after we get home. And she proceeded to tell me all the things that she's not eating now. Arghhh!! Almost everything we serve for our company meals! Guess I'll have to get creative.
IRISH - thinking of you! How are your eagle families doing? Have you set a date to go visit your FL friend yet? The warmth does sound enticing, doesn't it. Is your family making plans for Easter?
We had a campfire yesterday in the late afternoon, but the wind kicked up so we didn't grill the burgers we'd planned. We had leftover chicken noodle casserole instead. So hopefully tonite will be burgers! It will be 5* warmer and not so windy in Yakima. Here we're parked on a big lake with no hills around. Very windy. We might have fried potato and onions on the side, or pork'n'beans. I'm already getting hungry!
What sounds tempting to you tonite?
