SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, March 26th
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2020 7:31 am
Good morning,
We got our big-clean done yesterday. And most of the laundry. Today I'll do the sheets. If this keeps up much longer, we'll be starting on windows - and no one here wants that! I did make a few more masks but until my elastic comes, I'll be making them with ties. I would get out a jigsaw puzzle except that I have a cat who love puzzles and that can add a real difficulty factor. Bill has a project he's working on in the trailer. He's installing an electric heater in an empty space so we don't have to carry a space heater with us. If our weather were better I'd be out doing some yard work but perhaps the rain makes it easier for people to stay home.
I'm feeling for my Alaskan brother, Gene (who just turned 85), at home with his wife who is deep into Alzheimers. We text every day, usually several times. She should be in a memory care facility but there just are none available in Alaska. She is hallucinating badly, and doing crazy things. And she's had two days of "digestive issues" that he's had to deal with. Some of his family have been exposed to Covid-19 so no one can visit. His sons bring groceries and drop them off in the garage. For entertainment he watches the dog go into a frenzy when snow slides off the roof, which is noisy. He's a very active, youthful 85, but this is overwhelming him. And no one can help him. He's coping as well as anyone could, better than I would probably. When I start feeling cabin fever, I think of him. So, if you happen to have a spare prayer, Gene & Marge could really use one.
BECCA - until my elastic order arrives, I'm making ties for my masks. I'm using muslin and folding it like bias tape and stitching it down. Ties should be about 19" long.
JANA - nice to be able to watch the pretty snow - but not have it pile up on the street! How goes the re-organization of the Batt Cave?
MARY ROSE - did you see my response yesterday? I just Googled Utube face mask and up popped several videos and Jenny's was the one on top. But I think QIAD has one now too, that you can just download.
LORI - how long have you been working on your log cabin? I must have been camping when you started it because I don't remember hearing about it. Or maybe it was it the tempranillo?
CHICKIE texted me. A 65 yr old man from Indiana was at her DD & SIL's house helping with some construction. He was dx'd shortly after returning home and is now sick and on a vent. Chickie is worrying and praying hard that her DD and family won't get sick. A prayer in their direction, too, wouldn't go amiss.
In supper news, we now have a lot of pork roast leftovers. Tonight we'll just have a reheat. Then I'll start getting inventive with BBQ pork sammies, enchiladas, pasoli, tetrazzini, etc. It's a big roast! lol!
What's cooking at your house?
