I never got any yard work done yesterday. After my long morning walk, it was too warm and I was too lazy. So I finished my Halloween table topper. Love how it turned out! I'm thinking of making a few more before I forget how to paper piece again!
Bill had to drive our friend, Tex, back to Oregon to pick up his pick-up so he was gone nearly all day. On the way home through Tacoma he dropped my Bernie off for a spa treatment. Not sure how long they will keep it, but because of Covid, they had our vacuum since February and he was able to pick that up while there . . . Crossing fingers.Albert is still in the hospital and is celebrating his 84th birthday today. He has much to celebrate as his best friend, Danny, who lives in eastern WA, fell yesterday (on HIS 81st birthday!), hit his head, and had to be airlifted to Seattle trauma hospital and have surgery late last night for two blood clots in his brain. It was touch and go, but he's looking good this morning! Can't wait to let Albert know. Danny fell because his new heart med dropped his BP and left him dizzy.
Today - maybe some more yardwork. Trying to find some extra energy. Habitat for Humanity is coming to pick up our old couch and recliner so we need to stick around home - though come to think of it, that's what we do pretty much every day of the week!
IRISH - you and Baby Girl really do live the life of Riley, don't you! A camp weekend sounds like a purrfect getaway. I haven't fished since I was a little girl and my dad took my stream fishing in the rivers I mentioned a few days ago near where Becca's DGS lives. And his philosophy was that if you catch it, you clean it. And you eat it. Even if you are 6 yrs old. After a few years of that, I gave up the sport!!
BECCA - have fun today with Denise and Mark! Could you send them out my way, please? I could sure use a visit from them . . . .
CHICKIE - your decorating skills are beyond excellent! You could give lessons for sure! Sorry you didn't get your hoped-for rain. Sounds like you did all you could do . . .
TINA - my weather app tells me you are going to be hot again today. But "cooling off" next week to 93. I guess that's good news. and bad news. It's still going to be above 90.
JANA - What is the new grocery store near you that you were so happy to see open up? Is it a chain that might be up here, too? Hope you can get your machine cleaned. I know our place just started taking machines again and there is a list to get on and they call you. But since Bill was going through Tacoma and stopping in to get the vac anyway, he took my machine along and they accepted it. Now when they'll actually clean it is anyone's guess . . . . Hope your DSIL does OK with the colonoscopy . . .
ROSEBUD - I think you work in the best department of all at H.D. I hope everyone wears masks. Because of the rise in cases, they are now required in our state whenever you are out of your own home. When I still worked I had no energy for anything else by the time I got home. Not even much sewing!
LORI - yes, indeed, you are a trend-setter! lol! I always like the things you do. How is Dad fitting into your home and lives? Is he able to do for himself.
I think our supper tonite will be some kind of chicken. Probably on the grill. And salad and maybe green beans. We got our new element for the oven and now it just needs to be put in. Hopefully that will happen today. I want to get berries and make jam for us and for Christmas gifts but that means I also have to go to the store to get pectin and sugar. Not sure when I'll do that . . . I have to work up my courage to go to any store.
What's happening in your kitchen tonite?
