SUPPER CLUB - Feb 12
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:00 am
Good morning,
Today is Lincoln's birthday! My favorite president, though I understand he was a controversial one in his day. In fifth grade we had to draw president names to do a big report. I crossed my fingers so I'd get Lincoln but drew Zachary Taylor instead. I thought, "Zachary WHO??" And that is the only detail I remember of that report! lol! Anyway, Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln!
yesterday I finished cutting the last of Main Street - grass, picket fences, sidewalks - and fused a couple of trees. I put it all into a small tote and it's ready to start sewing. I was trying to decide if I want to start sewing now or save it for trailer sewing . . . Decisions. Then someone in Sew-in yesterday put out the suggestion of taking all the orphan blocks we have, FG, HST's, Etc, and putting them all together in one quilt. Since I have a small tote of those, too, I thought - excellent idea! So I'll be working on that today. I think I have enough leftover blocks, etc., for two quilts!
We woke up to rain. Not good since this is the day we are going to try to get our trailer out of it's shelter. Cross fingers for this afternoon.
CHICKIE - so, did we get a baby yesterday? And if so, did everything go OK? I thought your DD lived in Joplin, MO. You are often going to Joplin and see her while you are there. Your bird seed shopping bags sound ingenious.
TINA - your snow is beautiful! EVen as you texted me pictures of it last night, the news was on and talking about it! Hope there's some left for the kids to play in today. The best fun EVER when I was a kid!
BECCA - Wishing you a good day at your house! And yes, I do love a challenge - even from myself. And yes, again! I'm keeping my Main Street.
JANA - I need both cats and dogs in my life. Most of my cats just happen to have medium or long hair. ACtually, I find it's easier to clean up than short haired sheddings. I just wet my hand or use a wet rag and wipe down the furniture or fabric or ironing board. Scottie, now, is a different kettle of hair. Some of his coat is 7" long and what a mess he can be because he hates to be brushed. So we don't do it as often as we should. But he's a beautiful dog! I make stew from time to time. But I use hamburger rather than stew meat. Neither of us are fond of stew mea.. And I add a small can of tomato juice if I have it. And for liquid a bottle of beer, a trick an old lady taught me many years ago. (she was probably younger then than I am now! lol!)
LORI - I sometimes wonder about the decisions made by the decision-makers that are supposed to protect the environment. Bill always shakes his head over the DEF he has to add to the truck, an EPA requirement on newer diesel engines - it comes in a 2-gallon plastic container with a plastic corregated nozzle attachment. The thing isn't recyclable because it's toxic. So it goes into the landfill. Though up in beautiful Alberta, people are tossing them to the sides of the road as a protest, so that isn't too pretty to be driving through picturesque Canadian Rockies and see all these plastic containers littering the highway. And what about animals that may get into them . . .
I'm deliberating on supper tonite - something with kielbasa or baked chicken breasts . . . Will keep deliberating until we finally order a pizza, probably! lol!
Have you got a plan?
