Supper club, Wed, Oct 9
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2019 5:33 am
Good morning,
I took a nap yesterday afternoon, rarity for me. I know it’s thrown my sleeping schedule off. Plus, cat boy decided it was play time at 3:30 AM. I finally gave up and got out of bed at 4 AM. Gotta love pets!
Yesterday we drove down the coast, explored Washaway Beach and Tokeland, which is maybe about 200 population. The most fun thing there is the old Tokeland Hotel, built early in the last century and eventually abandoned during World War II. They started refurbishing it in the 90s and it’s a beautiful old place now and on the national register of historical sites. Then we went on to a bigger little town called Raymond. Bill actually lived there in a former life when he was about 20 years old. We stopped at the huge Dennis company, which is a hardware store and more. We both bought shoes there. It was a nice drive (80 mi round trip) and we came home to lunch, books, and naps. Before supper we took a short walk to the beach and then down to Waters edge. It wasn’t raining but we had 21 mph winds that had sand blowing everywhere. We didn’t stay out long!
Looking forward to being home again after nine days out. It’s about a 2 Hour drive to home and we should be parked and have the trailer emptied by lunchtime.
Since Some of you asked, I have been doing a small wool appliqué project by sue Spargo - A needle keeper. her work is always well studded with a variety of beads. It’s the first woollie I’ve made and I had such fun doing it. A great take-along project. It’s something I’ve been meaning to try for a long time and it just happened that I needed a needle keeper.
Jana, congratulations on your ‘Niners. They are doing well. Seems like only a few years ago it was the exact opposite for them. I well understand The explosion of fabrics everywhere! I love scrappy but it can sure make a mess of your sewing room!
Chickie, no worries! I found your post! And how many times have I made similar mistakes on this forum! . How was the quilt show you went to? The panel with the buck on it Will be pretty for your granddaughter in law. Is it for Christmas? Does everybody get a gift or do you draw names?
Becca, seems like I made a soft book many years ago when my kids were little. I think I used flannel inside. I wanted something to give it body but not to make it to fat. There are also double-sided firm fusible’s that might work.
Rose bud, if I had my way you would be able to retire now in great financial comfort. But two years will go by more quickly than you think.
Irish, You’re probably still trying to get your breath after your whirlwind two weeks! What’s next on your agenda? Florida? Hawaii?
Tina, there you are! Glad you are feeling better wish you were feeling perfect! I saw your video on Facebook. You cut your hair! Looks nice . Vicky calls our home phone which is forwarded to Bill‘s cell while we’re away. All we would be doing is blocking our own home phone. And we don’t have a blocking capacity on our home phone. Plus, the more messages she leaves, the tighter she is tying the ribbon around our case. We did file another report with APS. They listened to everything we said and agreed she desperately needs help but also explained they have no power to do anything because of how the laws are in Washington state. All they can do is compile the reports for when the family is finally able to go to court. They will have evidence. The family is very frustrated because their hands are tied because Vicki is so stubborn. Her daughter said she has been extremely angry and aggressive and argumentative lately. We all just have to live with it for now but we will be calling 911 more often as they are the only ones with legal power to remove her from the house if they think they should.
I am not sure what supper will be tonight. And good chance it will be bacon and eggs. I may boil a couple small potatoes this morning and Cube them to fry with onions, too. I don’t make fried potatoes very often but it was a staple in my childhood home.
Have you got a plan yet for tonight?
