Did you see the "pink super moon" last night? I fell asleep, per my usual. Rats! Today is my DB & DSIL's 59th anniversary. She made it! She'll sleep through most of it and he'll probably spend the day cleaning the garage and then making himself something gaacky for supper but SHE MADE IT!
We see Vicki from time to time, out in her yard. She has lined up multiple chairs, both back yard and front, aimed at our house so she can sit out and keep a good eye on us. She gives us her one-finger salutes whenever we're outside. And she bangs objects a lot - rocks on outside tables, old gutter pieces on the side of the house, anything to make noise that she believes will drive us away. At least I guess that's why she does it. Sometimes she turns music up as loud as it will go. If we're outside and hear it, we dance.
Yesterday Bill's sister, Becky, had a 4-hour operation to remove a giant cyst (10x7x2") from her ovary. Needless to say they took the ovaries and performed a hystie as well. Her husband wasn't allowed in the hospital - no visitors - so he sat in his car in the parking lot from 7:30am to 2:00pm when he finally got word that she'd been moved to recovery. He won't be able to see her until she is discharged, hopefully on Friday. We are thankful that the word came back NO CANCER because that was our big worry. Now to just get her out of the hospital un-infected with Covid.
I'm still making masks and my friend, Annette, is asking for some for the veterans' home where they volunteer. They need 300 so I'm making for her cause now. Our hospital and the local nursing home never returned my calls so I"m guessing they don't need any. If they do, I'll make more for them.
BECCA - I'm so glad you can do your essential errands from your car window! Hope you can get out to walk today.
LORI - that Wrigley! He's a big old sweetie! Even wet! Hardly bothers me at all from here!
I've got a lot of things to say about the person selling cotton masks for $10. But QIAD has rules about what we can say here . . . JANA - thanks for the reminder on making bias tape the old way! I'd forgotten that. Oh, I do hope your engineer can fix your stove. Bill often reaches his phone into those hard to reach places to take pix of model numbers, problems, etc. Sometimes it works! I think of Stu a lot these days. Glad he has a good mask!
My meatball stew turned out really good! Pardon me if I sound surprised. What an easy way to add meat to soups and stews. And we have plenty for tonite, too. What are you surprising yourself with tonite?
