We're going to 81 degrees today but a little cloudy as tomorrow will be cooler with some showers. No complaints here! Bill is driving Tex back to Oregon today to get his repaired pick-up and it's going to be 90* there! It's about a 4 hour drive each way, plus he is stopping at the sew & vac place to drop off my Bernie for service and pick up our repaired vacuum (dropped off last Feb, but with the virus . . . . ). So I have the day to myself. It will be a lot like yesterday, I think. A couple hours of yard work and then off to the sewing room. I managed to work out my paper piecing project and finished my octagonal Halloween table topper. Not the backing, quilting, or binding, but the top is done and I'm pleased with it. And it looks pretty much just like the one that LORI posted a photo of a month or two ago. I copied her shamelessly. Once I got going, it was a fun pattern.
TINA - save some uglies for the next day! You don't have to do everything all at once. Sorry your heat is so intense. I always use my crockpot to make soup. Doesn't heat up the kitchen. And it's a nice light supper on hot days. And you can do the prep work in the cooler morning hours. Sorry you have Adam in your life. Maybe some day Holly will see the light . . . .
BECCA - you do a lot of yard work - some people love it and call it "gardening". I don't and I call it yard WORK. But if I didn't do it we would be living in Sleeping Beauty's castle - after the 100 years of growing seasons!
LORI - as usual, I like the way you think! Wine and a book should have been how I started and finished the day on Sunday. It definitely was the best part!
Nice that you got to have your FIL with you for Father's Day. And even better - no cooking! IRISH - I, too, thought Ft. Bragg was somewhere in the obscure east. Or south. But not CA! Sorry your friend can't fit into your community. That would have been nice for you both. Sounds like you and your sister got up to a lot of sisterly shenanigans yesterday! My sisters and I can have a lot of fun together, too. Good thing they both live in CO - away from me. Funny thing though - they don't like each other and never see each other unless I am there visiting.
JANA - Your Aaron is a blessing to so many people! I bet that little boys parents are still grateful today! We've been in the redwoods many times but I never knew about the train.
ROSEBUD - I'm exhausted for you! If I were working today, I'd have no energy for anything else.
CHICKIE - your life has been busy - as usual! I know everyone was impressed with all your beautifully decorated cookies and the rosary cake. But all that baking can sure make a mess! Covid is such a kick! He loves being with his buds and seems to be enjoying the 'sleepovers'with them. lol!
Our supper tonite is going to be - another idea of LORI's! - BLTA's. She mentioned them yesterday and they sounded so good. Then I realized I have all the goodies to make them. Easy peasy.
What's happening on your plate tonite?
