Yesterday I got most of trailer cleaned and most of laundry done. Hope to finish it all today. And boy, do I have yard work to do! I think I'll be dividing my time between the yard and the sewing room next week. When I'm done with all this home-coming stuff, the house will also need a good dusting and vac'g, and let's not forget the bathrooms . . .
Also, yesterday, our friends who broke down east of Portland called. Their truck won't be ready until next week so Bill offered to drive down and pull their trailer home (they live 7 miles from us). They were so grateful! 425 mi round trip. Took him 8 hours. I did more laundry, embroidered my 38th state bird & flower block, and watched TV until he got home. Too tired for anything else. JANA - sorry about the loss of your friend. I missed that post. Personally, I think your Daniel made a smart move to not go back to Bay Area. I grew up a farm girl and love my somewhat rural lifestyle. Your dinner sounds delish! How do you make your pseudo chix C.B.?
BECCA - Beth's bakery is really taking off! She has some yummy sounding treats! Family hx is fascinating. I have a site on Ancestry.com and worked on it diligently for years until quilting began to consume all my spare time. I found a distant relative who had done a lot of research but I had no idea where in the country she lived as most of those distant folks were - well - distant! NY and PA for the most part. Turns out she was only 40 miles away from me! And before she died she gave me all her research.
IRISH - I didn't know Kathy was starting a new business! Is this going to curtail her traveling and playtime?
Our friend, Tex, also has a license to marry folks. And he was also the DJ and dance instructor at receptions. (Bill and I met in one of his dance classes ).
ROSEBUD - are you back to work? And how is it going? You were still off work when we left for camping.
TINA - sorry for the loss in your family. So many of these deaths are frustratingly needless. I hope Adam tests negative. You sure don't want it coming close to your immediate family! But an excellent reason to ban him from your home for a while!
LORI - haha! We're #1! We're #1! Love the way you think! You've been busy at the sewing machine! I just can't quilt on my regular machine. My chiropractor simply doesn't need that many boats!
Well, needless to day, we didn't grill pork chops last night since Bill was gone from 2:30 to 10:30. I sent a turkey sandwich with him for the road and I had Cheerios, the Supper of Champions. And today is raining, though our deck is covered (it's where I'm sitting as I type this and right now it's POURING!) so if it's warm enough, we could still grill tonite. If not, I'll bake them. I found a few old potatoes that need to be et, and I have fresh salad makings.
How's your supper story coming along?
