And it is a good morning and the birds are really happy about it! Lots of chirping going on out there! It's going to be a beautiful day here.
Yesterday I finally got my bread baked. Shared a hot loaf with the chicken neighbors. Bread is best hot from the oven and slathered with butter. My doctor would be frowning at me, but it was just the one piece . . .
. I also trimmed my Paris quilt and it's ready for binding - maybe today. I finished Bill's tool caddy, too. When I was little Mom made a simliar thing for my crayons. She sewed little sleeves for for each crayon in the bottom third of the washcloth. I folded the top third down and rolled them up. That's very similar to what I made for Bill's tool set. He has interchangable tools with only one handle.Today is cleaning and sanitizing the house. Then friends, Gus & Claudia are supposed to swing by this afternoon to pick up masks and a couple books I have for her. We might have a campfire going and if we do, they may or may not join us, property spaced, of course.
My great niece had her third baby girl yesterday, "Emily Rose". I got out the bunny quilt I made for her a few months ago and saw some of my blanket stitching around one bunny is coming undone. Dang! I guess the tension was bad and I didn't catch it. So I pulled out all the loose threads and today will try to match the remaining machine stitching by hand. I didn't check the other bunnies yet. Crossing fingers.
BECCA - your foccacia bread reminded me that years ago I used to make it! Why did I stop?? Now I need to make a note of it on my list of "menu ideas". (Yes, I keep a list in a drawer for those days when I can't come up with any ideas). Glad you have your errands done for a while.
JANA - how is Lila today? Glad she tested negative. But I bet she didn't like the test! Albert had to have one when he checked into the hospital yesterday. He had a colorful description of it! Our soup turned out pretty good. Bill liked it and he doesn't like broccoli! I have 3 different recipes and used bits and pieces from each one. I added bacon bits and another option was a couple TBSP of sherry, which I just happened to have a little bit of so I tossed that in, too.
LORI - I've often wondered how law enforcement can keep all the codes straight, but I guess over time they just become ingrained. We're even starting to remember some just from watching Live PD! Wonder what was going on with your power yesterday? Overloaded with A/C's? Here, something like that means that there was probably a car accident that took down a power pole or a branch down over wires.
Bill said he'd like to have more broccoli soup tonite so I'm good with that! And yesterday, our friend, Doyle, who can't stay put, was going to Costco AGAIN (mostly because he gets bored at home), so he picked us up a 6-pack of romaine lettuce. So we're back in the salad business again!
How is your supper story going to read?
