It may be wet, wet, WET, but at least we're gaining daylight with every rainy day! And the groundhog is waiting, just around the corner - he may have good news for us!
Yesterday was sewing, chiro, groceries, and then DH and DDog met me for for a long and steep walk. Ugh. But I always feel better afterward. Then our friends texted us, asking us to join them for early dinner at Mexican restaurant here - Puerto Vallarta or "P.V." to us locals. So no pickle soup for Bill! And our dinners were so huge we brought home 2/3 of our meals. So no cooking tonight either!
IN sewing, I got a few more Christmas Country Charmer blocks finished (from now on, I'm calling them CCC blocks, OK?) and Bill finished quilting Scrappy Stars. So I'll trim, bind, and label that today. My neighbors will be home today or tomorrow from a month in AZ & So Cal and I can give it to them. It's the one that his mom did all the cutting and then passed away 5 yrs ago. She gave me the pattern and fabric pieces. I had to supplement a bit with a few fabrics from my stash and scrap pile but it turned out bright and happy. I think they will be pleased. They have no idea I was planning all along to do this for them. The label will reflect that it was started by "Mom".
BECCA - hope your yesterday turned out just how you wanted - slow and easy. With more of the same today.
CHICKIE - glad you finally found us! lol! Sorry about your weather. It's hard to picture Kansas as gloomy. I do like an occasional gloomy, stormy day. Purrfect to sit in front of the fire with a hot drink, a purring cat, and good book. But I'm ready for some sunshine, too! I'd probably give your vegetarian sushi a try unless you put seaweed in there. That tastes just as fishy as fish does, to me.
BECKY - with all that snow, I guess you will have a sew day! The lemonade of bad weather lemons. Get it? When Thor, god of thunder, sends you lemons, you make lemonade! Oh well. It's early. I'm much more clever after my second cup of coffee!
JANA - is it ALL pickles or just dills? I love them all, but I think bread & butters are my favorites. I won't give Sarah this soup recipe - unless I can find her e-mail address! Bwa-ha-ha!
I'll be rooting for your Niners on Super Bowl Sunday. But I'll be wearing my best glittery Seahawk shirt and earrings when I do! Sadly, I don't know any famous football players though I did dance once, for a member of the Cleveland Browns team. A lifetime ago. And Joe Namath's sister and my sister were friends and neighbors. Another lifetime ago. But if I were going to pick a player to meet up with, it would be the Seahawks' Tyler Lockett. LORI - don't tell Cindy, but I really prefer smaller shows than Houston. It is just too overwhelming. Even the things I did manage to see I only had time for a cursory glance before the wave of people swept me further on down the aisle! lol! I hope you go back on Sunday so you can go at your own pace. It would be awful if you missed something!
TINA's dad came home from the hospital yesterday. He has been diagnosed with A-fib, glaucoma, and shingles.
So, if you're still with me, you know we're having Mexican leftovers tonite, so Bill got a reprieve from PIckle soup. I do have salad makings to add to our enchiladas. So supper is in the bag for tonight. Or maybe I should say it's in the box, which is in the bag.
the shingles is in his hair, on his forehead, down the left side of his face and it looks like in his left eye where he has the glaucoma.
