SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, July 2nd
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:47 am
Good morning,
We've had cool, breezy, and a bit wet weather this week and as we edge closer to July 4th, it's looking more and more "iffy". And us with a campfire planned. . . . Sigh.
Yesterday I noticed my hair salon was open! I've been very reluctant to go into any place like that but I did it because I couldn't stand my hair any longer. I was the only person in there besides my hairdresser. As she was cutting 2" off my locks, she told me that she had a male customer last March, just back from Italy (remember Italy's infx rate?), insisted he felt fine, but turns out he wasn't. And he gave her Covid. She was VERY sick, though managed to dodge a ventilator. She's the only person I know personally who has or has had this virus. She said it's AWFUL! She is high risk - almost 70, COPD, fighting cancer.
Not much else happening here - just waiting for the weather to straighten up so I can get outside. Never made it yesterday. Still working on Christmas swap blocks - the only WIP I have right now. Though my mind is already working on what quilt to make for a Christmas gift for a teen girl. We leave for camping next Tuesday for 4 or 5 nights on the Oregon Coast. I'd like to take the project with me to work on . . . But so far, I can't make a decision.
Some of you may have heard of the occupation of a part of Seattle by protesters? For almost a month they barricaded, protested, vandalized, terrorized, looted, camped in 6 square blocks. Residents were frightened to leave their homes, and businesses, just starting to open after being shut for 3 months because of Covid, had to close again. Some forever. There were 6 shootings, 4 resulting in death. When police tried to respond, they were pushed back and the mayor allowed it all - UNTIL - the protesters took their act to the front of HER house! Suddenly she cracked down, brought in police, sheriff's deputies, FBI. Had 3 dozen people arrested and finally order is restored to downtown. It was awful! The garbage, graffiti, and destruction left behind is a disgusting disgrace and will cost hundreds of thousands to clean up and repair. UGH!! So glad I live in a small quiet town.
TINA - sorry, I'm laughing about the mayo. It's such a male thing! Sometimes I think maybe lesbians are on to something - at least another wife could figure out how a kitchen works! lol!
BECCA - oh, you had to go mention window screens. And don't get me started on window tracks. Ugh!
JANA - we have enough cool temps - and 12 mph breezes - to happily share! And more on the way. Aaron's resume is really starting to bulge! Now he can add urban cowboy! lol!
IRISH - the only Rose of Sharon bush I ever saw was purple. So pretty! I think you definitely should go ask for some starts! We do most of our shopping at Costco. Which is why we have so many salads - 6 heads of romaine there is cheaper than 3 heads at Safeway. So even if we can't get it all eaten up it's still cheaper for us. And the chickens next door are happy to clean up any extra veggies we can't get to. They come running now if we even get close to the fence! And now they have some babies! So we need to buy even more veggies!
Tonights supper is decided. Sliced turkey kielbasa and veggie stir-fry over white rice. What are you having?
