SUPPER CLUB - Wed, Sept 11
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:04 am
Good morning,
A grim anniversary in our history. Thinking of all who lost their lives and their families. I have faith that God is working everything out - for the victims and the perpetrators.
Yesterday was a day of paperwork and phone calls. Some concerning Ernie and some regarding Vicki. Lots of maneuvering to do to get Ernie placed but hopefully that will happen by end of the week. APS took our report on Vicki's latest escapades very seriously and said someone will be out to check her mental, physical, and environmental status very soon. So we are holding off on our courthouse petition for involuntary hospitalization and seeing what happens with them. I think the rats tipped the scale for them! We would rather APS get her help if possible than us go to court.
We took a break and drove to Port Orchard (Cedar Cove for Debbie Macomber fans), and bought a rug at Lowe's for our new family room downstairs. We also took Scottie to his doctor to have his teeth checked - she didn't think he needed them cleaned - and his itchy skin. No issue there, either but it looks like he had a few hot spots, mostly healed, perhaps from something in the food we gave him when we tried switching him. He has an appt for a groom on the calendar for mid-Oct so we're going to see if we can bump that appt up. They can really get that undercoat out that we seem unable to get. He HATES brushing, bathing, grooming of any kind and it's such a struggle for us so we don't do it ourselves like we should. He likes living the hobo life - eating garbage and looking like a slob! haha!
CHICKIE - I hope your day with Mom goes well. You are such a good daughter and go the extra mile for her every single day for her. My dad always used to tell us "your reward in heaven shall be great" whenever we fetched him a cup of coffee. In your case, there won't be any celestial rubies left for the rest of us! God bless. And yes, you will love the FGV II. You should order it now. You deserve it, by golly! Don't even wait for a sale!
JANA - I never get tired of Aaron's stories! I kind of always wondered how emergency vehicles got to the actual scene when traffic was backed up like that. Now I know - they go knocking on doors!!
BECCA - I guess we had sugar sticks, too, though we just called them pie dough cookies. Any leftover dough was cut up in any old shape and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. No butter. Yum! Mom taught us to top pies, especially apple, with cinnamon and sugar. Crusts without it taste flavorless to me. When I was in home-ec in high school we were 3 or 4 girls to a 'kitchen'. I'd been baking pies since I was 10 yrs old and topped it as usual with cinnamon and sugar. One of the other girls, new to pie baking, had a fit and tried to scrape it all off. After it was baked! Of course, some of the crust came with it and it was a mess. Teacher came by, looked at our pie, and gave us all a 'C'. I blamed the girl, she blamed me, and no lasting friendship came out of from THAT class! You may be the judge. (there could be a fish supper in it for you . . . )
MARY ROSE - let us know how that appt goes for you. Happy fabric cutting! This is the sashing fabric for your Halloween quilt? You've just reminded me, it's almost time to get out MY Halloween quilt - made from that same swap.
Supper last night was pork chops on the grill and baked sweet potatoes. I cubed up cucumber, tomato, and broccoli and added Italian dressing. That didn't impress my DH, so I got to eat the lion's share of that. Yum! Tonite will be grilled chicken and maybe fried potatoes and green beans.
Have you got a plan yet?
