Supper club. May 31

Good morning !
Another pretty day here today. I’m leaving for my walk in about half an hour. My neighbor, Lori, and I talk over all the worlds problems in the hour we are together every morning. And our pooches get to gather up all the Pee-mail Messages along the trail! Lol!
Yesterday, Bill and I came home from shopping and found Vicky on the ground between our houses. She had a bonfire going in her driveway, burning all the boards she had tossed around her yard while our friends were visiting last month. I think she bent to pick up a board and lost her balance and then could not get up. She had been laying there at least 10 to 15 minutes, thrashing around. It took both of us to get her up on her feet again and then she couldn’t stand for a little while. I was ready to call 911 but she suddenly got her feet under her, thanked us, and wobbled into the house. The episode seemed to shake her up quite a bit. We kept our eye on the fire until it died down. About four hours later she was back outside again, raking up the last of the coals. We did text all her kids and they came by in the evening to check on her.
Yesterday, I finished most of the packing. Just last minute laundry and refrigerator things left to go. It’s kind of a big deal, packing for two months on the road. We could encounter 85° weather, because Alaska does have summer, and we could encounter snow, because it is Alaska! One never knows. I also started cutting out all the pieces for 3thirty 9" sailboat blocks for my newest project, the baby quilt. I want to work on blocks while traveling but I didn’t want to take a whole tote of fabric so I am doing the cutting here.
I have to tell you, I am dictating this on my phone because Foxy crawled up into my lap and has settled down. I can’t reach my computer and it would be breaking the rules to disturb the cat. I am sure most of you understand.
Lori, I remember once prowling all our property, through the woods, shaking cat treat containers and calling “kitty kitty kitty“. We were ready to leave on a trip and the cats wandered off. It was four hours before they returned. We ended up making camp that night in the dark and eating our anniversary dinner-hamburgers from McDonald’s-at 9 PM because we were too tired to make the special supper we'd planned. We have to keep reminding ourselves how much we love cats sometimes.
Irish, certainly Pennsylvania is on the way to Alaska from Washington! Be out on the curb, suitcase in hand! We do take kitties along too! I bet your baby girl would love traveling in an RV for two months. LOL! As for having new cats when we get older, many people I know get older cats from the shelter and give them a good home for the last few years of their life. The cats life! Better yet-two old cats! I have been trying to think of a sentiment for Cindy‘s Afghan. All I can think is if you can put your self in her place, what would you want to say to your first grandbaby? Then the words might come
becca, almost everybody’s BP rises in the doctors office. Mine too. I learned to never take the stairs but use the elevator. And I always take at least two deep cleansing breath’s before they put on the cuff. This really helps to bring down the BP . I am excited to hear what sex the next set of twins will be. Sadly, I will be riding through Canada and will have to wait until we get into Alaska to turn my phone back on. Texts and phone calls are just too expensive in Canada. Another bear! You really do live in the wilderness !
Jana, I always feel sorry for people that don’t have a dog or kitty in their lives. We went 18 months without a dog and I got tired of cleaning the floors which is when we got snickers. When he died, we were so dog lonesome we got Scotty three months later. Both shelties but such different dogs! But we love him and when he is gone to a grooming appointment The house seems lonely without his energy.
Chickie, Bill‘s mom always called memorial day decoration day too. And she expected everybody to go to the cemetery with her to put flowers on her mothers grave. When Bill and I were newly married he said we were not going because it was also my first husband‘s death anniversary and we were going to a different cemetery. She never forgave me. And thus began the uneasy relationship between myself and my new MIL. That is so funny about your hooligans. Love “boomer’s woman”!
Supper tonight is going to be grilled chicken. We were going to have that with potato packets a few nights ago but didn’t. So tonight‘s the night! I am going to make a pasta salad for tomorrow night to have with grilled burgers with SUE and Kenn while camping. I do plan to be here in the morning but then I will be off line for about 10 days at least while we go through Canada. It will probably be hit and miss through the summer until we return at the end of July. I hope y’all don’t let each other starve while I am gone!
