SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, Oct 17
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2019 4:49 am
Good morning,
Mr. Dog is waking everyone up early this morning. And one of us is growling about it! Grrrr . . . . I think my next pet will be a goldfish.
Yesterday I did a bit of shopping. I'm trying to get my Christmas stuff together for Autumn so my SIL can deliver it for me next month. And for my sister in CO whose birthday is in Nov so I usually mail Christmas and bd all in one package. Then, after shopping/wrapping, we went to supper with our DGS, Drew. He told us he heard a lot of loud pops at 0300 yesterday morning. He thought shots, then realized a house 5 houses down his block had caught fire. He ran for his cat carriers in case he had to evacuate and woke his cousin, who lives with him. No evacuation for them, but it was sad for his neighbor. No cause is known yet.
Other bad news is that our LQS is closing Dec 31. The owner is 70 and wants to retire and travel but says that everyone buys fabric on line now and that's the main reason shops are closing everywhere. This is the fourth one in 3 years to close it's doors in my area. There will be just one shop left in Tacoma, Shibori Dragon, now. And Joann's.
Today we're taking the truck into Tacoma to be serviced so we'll be going to the county courthouse there to file for that Civil Restraining Order. I'm SOO not looking forward to this. And then on Saturday we're all gathering to spread Ernie's ashes along with his wife's. Not looking forward to that either! If I have time later this afternoon, I might pull out the blocks from the Christmas in July swap and start laying them out on my 'design floor'. Or I might take a nap!
CHICKIE - we just might take that DGD of yours for our Drew! Though he says he's not moving from this area, so she'd have to be mobile. The picture you paint of your wood ducks sounds so bucolic!
JANA - Aaron gets an early start on those impaired drivers! Our ruler plate clamps onto our machine, too. and then it's removed from regular stitching. But when I was removing it my hand accidentally hit the needle down and now we have a purrfect pinhole in the plate! lol! But all ended well. So, are the penguins for January? Do you have Feb already or are you taking a break from them? So, what's your middle name?
LORI - that's a big group! Though Cindy's in Texas is about 650. I don't belong to any groups. I think there is one quilt guild here in G.H. though when the LQS closes I'm not sure what will happen to it. One thing I notice about distracted drivers, too, is they vary their speed a lot.
BECCA - got your message! Thx! And you really have had a few busy days! Your house my be sparkling by now! Mark & Denise arrive tomorrow, don't they?
TINA - I'm not sure what a Frito pie is, but I have to say if it has Fritos in it, I'm on board! Yum! Another good watch dog but also a good family dog is a Rottweiler. My kids have had 3 of them and they are really very sweet dogs but people are afraid of them because they look so fierce. They are SMART!
I'm thinking there's no restaurant in our future for tonite. We do have leftover spaghetti in the fridge but it's 6 days old. Kind of past my limit . . . Bill has restaurant leftovers also, so he may want those. If so, I'll have a poached egg. Otherwise, it's on to new food, which will be baked chicken or pork chops, potatoes of some sort, and fried cabbage and onions. And sliced cucumber and tomato
