BECCA - I read in Sew-in that the twins now have spinal meningitis. I'm sure we'll all be stepping up with the prayers for them! I'm glad Adalyn had a better night.
IRISH - My sister's specialty is shoo-fly pie and cake. You don't hear about that too often. Her ex-hubby is from Pottstown, PA and his family was very Pennsylvania Dutch. I think you're going to have a terrific time this weekend! Glad your sis is getting out!
JANA - We've been on a few hair-raising routes courtesy of GPS. About 8 years ago, there was a couple lost for a week in the mountains here. I learned a few weeks after they were found that they were my friend's in-laws - guided by GPS. I feel for Sarah's truck driver! I'm sure if he'd known where he was going, he would never have turned up the canyon. Another fascinating story from Utah!
TINA - If I were there, I'd come clean your utility room for you. Though I do love your analagy - 'dust bunnies big enough to saddle'!
Hoping you feel better sooner rather than later. So, is there a big difference between enchiladas and burritos other than the sauce?Still not quite together downstairs. Bill brought in the bookshelves and then got distracted by his phone, computer, FB, forums, etc. So I handtrucked many boxes of books in myself and shelved them. But lots of boxes still to go. I got rid of one old paperback because I found I had two copies. lol! We went to Home Depot looking for a new laundry sink. They wanted $119 for a plastic one so flimsy it would barely stand up on it's four legs without listing to the side. We'll keep looking. Today - hoping to get the last of the books in, the coffee table, and then the chachkies put out. Some things are going away permanently.
We had a nice T-storm last night. It was still pretty warm so we sat out on our covered deck to enjoy it until our carpet guy came by to inspect his contractor's work (which was excellent!), chat, and collect the second half of what we owed for the work. Ouch! But let's not think about that - let's think, instead, how soft that new bedroom rug feels under our bare feet. By the time he left our storm was over. Oh well. I think we might have another one coming our way in a few days.
Bill's cousin said he talked to Ernie on the phone yesterday. He said Ernie sort of knew him. Bill's sis is visiting today and we'll visit Sunday. It's a half-day proposition for us to go for a 30-min. visit. For Bill's sis, it's all day long, a 250-mile round trip. The cousin who lives closest is in AZ at the moment and moving there permanently by the end of Oct. He is the one with all the legal power and he won't extend that to Bill or Becky. Insists he can do it just fine through faxing. Arghh.. Bill needed his signature 3 days ago to get Ernie's locks changed and it still hasn't come through. Frustrating.
Our pork chop supper last night turned into grilled cheese and the last of our chicken rice soup since our carpet guy stayed so late visiting. So tonite will be those chops and I have a recipe for "summer veggies au gratin" that I want to try. Plus a salad, of course.
What are you thinking about for your supper tonight?
