SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, May 23rd
Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 6:07 am
Good morning,
Looks like it's going to be a nice weekend here - not too hot, but mid 60's and no rain. My DBIL & crew should be here late today. They spent the night in Butte, MT. That's about 600 miles. MY DBIL, Al, was an LA County Sheriff's deputy, his SIL is a police sergeant/detective in the CO town where our Sharona lives, and from here they are going to CA for HIS son's retirement from Coast Guard and induction into Marin Co Sheriff's department. They are a law enforcing family! Proud of them all!
Today will be a relaxing day, I think. Vac'g (Bill), sanitizing main bathroom (me), and shredding the cooked pork roast for BBQ sandwiches. I already have potato salad made, beans ready to pop into small crockpot, watermelon is cut, frozen peanut butter pie is in freezer. I'll put together the coleslaw this afternoon. And I might make oatmeal craisin cookies - a double batch - so the guys can take some with them on the next leg of their trip. My sewing room is now Al's bedroom for their visit but if I have extra time and want to do any sewing, I have hexies, X-stitch, and hand embroidery to do. And a book to read and one to listen to.
BECCA - Zoom gatherings are becoming so popular! On Tuesday Bill is going to start his "Y" exercise class up again, via Zoom. I guess we'll move the furniture back and let him rip! lol! He's going to try to hook it up to the TV. We bought a haircutting trimmer so I'm doing Bill's hair but mine is getting kind of wild. And it's so curly that it's like big wispy cloud around my head. Actually I kind of like it. No drying or styling required! I've been wondering what it might be like if I let it grow and now I have the opportunity! lol!
JANA - boy did I have Perry pictured all wrong! I'd never have picked him out of a kitty line-up! lol! Our Riley almost made it to 20. Bunny lived 15 years, Smokey 16 yrs and Mike's cat (sister to Riley) did pass her 20th birthday. I love ALL cats, but medium haired tuxedos are my favorite. Thanks for waving at my family as they drive by, but wave big because they are taking '90' across Montana. Skipping Utah entirely. Can you imagine that?!? Autumn and I once stuffed a small couch into her little CRV SUV.
LORI - I, too, love a cat on my lap, but my Foxy (age 6) isn't a lap cat. He's very affectionate and will lay against my lap, and sometimes, over one thigh. But never fully on my lap. He was 8 months old when he adopted us and we were told this about him. But it does leave me more room for hand sewing . . .
ROSEBUD - I wasn't sure if you'd returned to work or not. Nice to know you still have almost 2 more weeks. I hope if it's still dangerous out, you can stay off longer - if you want. And what a lot of work maintaining a yard can be. I've given up on some parts of our yard that I used to keep clean of weeds, baby trees, briars, etc and just let Nature have it all back. I convinced myself I like Nature. Nature is pretty.
Well, I already shared my menu with y'all. There's going to be plenty - even with 3 extra hungry men at the table - so you'll be hearing this menu a few more times, I fear. I think they want to spring for pizza tomorrow night if they are still here.
What's going on your table for tonite?
