SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, Nov 7th
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:03 am
Good morning,
On the news last night I saw a big storm moving from north central U.S. eastward. Who all here will be impacted by that? I know my DD and DSIL are in Norfolk for the week for his work (they can even take their cat!) and I hope roads will be clear when they drive back to Alexandria this weekend. I think it's around 100 miles. We've been in mid to upper 50's here, 60* in some places, with sunshiny afternoons. Not our usual November weather!
JANA - I'll be looking forward to seeing the piece on Aaron and his job! I think it's fun that we can simply both shop at Costco and see what the other is buying these days! lol! We got the orange snowshoes. They go by weight, not shoe size. And if you got your new centerpiece at Costco, we got the same one! and the matching garland to put on our two big windowsills downstairs. I can't figure Bill out - he was so excited about Christmas when we were first married - did half the cards, insisted on the biggest tree, was very particular about how the lights went on, then he turned into a bah-humbug kind of person, refused to help decorate the tree, and now he's all about buying new decorations! I never know how he's going to act during the holidays. I guess they do say it's good to keep some mystery in your marriage . . . Are you getting geared up for "our" football watch party on Sunday???
TINA - I'm like you - love all the lights and decorations, inside and out! I'd put lights on Scottie if I could! You really had a big evening running the grands around for their parents! Those are lucky parents to have you helping out so much! Happy birthday to Holly.
BECCA - So sorry to hear of another problem for Hadlee. I'm wondering how big the cyst is and if it will dissolve on it's own over time? Big prayers for both of them! And thrift shops are like the lottery - some days you win big and some days are a waste of time.
IRISH - my Sleepytime tea doesn't usually work for me either, but I like a hot drink and I sure don't want coffee in the middle of the night, and I don't need the extra sugar in cocoa. So it's the tea by default. Yes, somedays would be nice to not have to fight for my spot in the bed, or clean up all the hair, or be tripped by someone always underfoot. But then I think about how empty the house is even when Scottie is just gone to the groomer for a few hours. And I'm OK again. Yes, the forecasters on our coast are predicting a lot of 'weather' for your coast. Hope you don't have to go out in it! And as far as your suggestion that maybe it would be better for all if Vicki DID violate the protective order, we (and her family!) agree! They voiced that exact same thing.
CHICKIE - sounds like your Audobon meeting was a good one! I love eagles and hearing about them. Sorry there were jeans to mend. I really hate mending them and if you saw Bill's work pants, you'd sure believe me! Sorry about the rats in your life (and in mine! ) We'll both win - one day.
Yesterday I got the messes I made swapping out my dishes and glassware all cleaned up, trimmed and bound my Vintage Christmas quilt, and two pairs of potholders made from blocks from the V.C. book. I add a 1-1/2" border around each block to bring the finished 'holder up to 8". This morning, after my walk, I have a massage appt. It's been 6 weeks since my last one and I'm really feeling it. I've been looking forward to this appointment for weeks! I'll probably make another set of potholders today, too.
I'm still not sure what to call the dinner we ate last night that I found in the freezer. It had chicken, bow tie pasta, red sauce, cheese. And it was good! and as predicted, there is enough left for tonite, too.
Wishing you all a tasty supper!
