Quilt in a Day Forums

Last day of September. I hope you got all your Sept things done, 'cause Oct, she is a loomin'!

Yesterday was a better day. I went to my co-worker luncheon and presented my three Christmas quilts. I posted a photo is you'd like to see. They all seemed to love their quilts, designed with each of their likes and lifestyle in mind.

I called my Bernie saleslady back yesterday and she apologized, said she never got the message and said she didn't actually know people could leave messages on their phone system. In her defense, the message system did sound funny. Anyway, she said she's not bothering to send my machine for repair, but is ordering me a new one. It will be in Tuesday but I'll be camping so won't get it until next Saturday. If this one tanks, I have 7 days to return it and I'll stick with my old one.

Vicki's son is supposed to be here today to clean our garage door. Bill found leftover paint so if it needs painting, too, Jeremy said he will do it. We'll see if that really happens. I call them 'kids' but like mine, her kids are all in their 40's. Other than setting sprinklers, (her latest obession), Vicki is staying inside, out of sight, with doors closed.

Today is packing fridge for camping. Other than that, I think we're ready to roll tomorrow. It's only a 2-hour drive to the campground and we can't check in until after noon, so no big rush to get out of here in the morning. Weather at the beach for all next week will be low 60's, cloudy/sunny, with occasional drizzle/showers. Typical for October. We'll be at Grayland Beach State Park near Westport, WA in case you are one to Google places to see what they look like. We go the first week of Oct every year because Oct 1st is when the senior citizen off-season pass kicks in and we can camp for $10/night. The pass is good until end of April.

Today is also Seahawks! And they finally won a game last week! Let's hope we can keep this 'streak' going! They are playing Arizona so if Carole stops by Supper Club today, "Go 'Hawks!"!!

IRiSH - I remember when I met Roy after Mike died. My DFIL was nothing but happy for me. And it made me love Dad even more!! And Dad was happy to have a 'son' again. I KNOW all the conflicts your Kathy is experiencing, and I know how much she loves you and I know what your support means to her. I wish nothing but happiness for her, for you, and all your family. Even your sis who seems to have stolen your carpet! and I hope there are no window-crawling adventures in your immediate future!!

BECCA - I hope the bike ride is fun for all! How long do they figure it will take them? Do you do anything with your black beans when you put them on top of the rice? Special seasonings? It sounds tasty!

TINA - sometimes it wears me out, reading about all you do! I'm with you on the make-up thing. I actually wore eye shadow and mascara yesterday. It felt funny. I hardly ever wear anything but a bit of lip gloss. Is the bride going to have her make-up done, too, for the wedding? I hope you post a photo of the bride and groom in their wedding finery!

Dinner tonite is going to be chili, I think. I already have cooked hamburger, onions, celery, garlic in the freezer. I'll put it into the crockpot with some beans, seasonings, tomatoes. Bill will be happy!

What's going to make you happy come suppertime?

Good afternoon! Hard to believe October starts tomorrow!!!

Mary—of course your friends loved their quilts… they had better!!! Wow! Another new machine!!! That’s real customer service!!! Hope Vicki’s son actually comes and does the work. Maybe if they have to take care of their mother’s vandalism often enough, the light will dawn that she is unable to stay by herself. Have a fun camping trip!!! I guess your cameras are all set up and ready to watch/monitor.

Irish—I ditto what Mary said about your Kathy. You definitely do not need any more window crawling adventures. Ever!

Tina—Saturday! That’s quick!!! What kinds of cookies are you making? I would love to be there and help you!!! I have loads of cookie experience.

Becca—that’s a long bike ride! Hope all goes well—safe and no injuries!

Hummmmm… I’m thinking I need to think about dinner and may have to cook. I’m hoping I can find a bit of leftovers in the fridge for DH and add some rice as a side. I have some soup made for me. Tomorrow night will be cooking… It may be adding red beans to the rice from tonight as well as some kielbasa.

Bon appétit!

Hello everyone,cloudy & part sun today.

Maryz They will finish in 1 wk.Mark only took 2 months & 1 wk to go across America.Hes a real biker.And loves it.
On the beans I Add salt,pepper.& olive oil when I cook them.Tou could add other things but that’s the way we like them.
I agree with Chickie,who wouldn’t love those quilts.Thats a very special gift.

Chickie,I too can’t believe it’s Oct already.No leaves have changed here.Going to be late this year.

Tina The Wedding is coming up very fast.Hope it all goes well.I too use very little make up.I find I keep using less.Too much time involved.

Irish I don’t know DD but she sure takes care of Mama I think & your DSIL must be a keeper too.Please don’t try any window tricks.My DD assured me the other day that I will always be looked after & her & DH want me to live with them.I told her I hope I can be independent.

We are having a quiet afternoon which I love . Have a great day everyone.
We have beans & leftovers.Will add roasted asparagus for me. Becca

I thought I came by this morning, guess not.
I'm making pecan tarts, Pecan sandies and macarons. There's going to be 145 at the wedding.....I'm making about 150ish of each. Thursday will start the pecan tarts, Friday pecan sandies and Saturday morning the macarons....I have to have them ready on the day because their filling has cream cheese in it. I wish you could come help me too!
I had a blah feeling day, I think it was from not sleeping good last night, after I took a nap I felt somewhat better.
We had a Schwan's chicken dinner for supper, I like to have dinners for days like this.
