SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, July 18
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 6:25 am
Good morning!
We are going to have a beautiful day here - 78* and mostly sunny. I should go do a little yard work. And a little house work. There's a lot of things I SHOULD be doing. I hope no one's holding their breath on those things! Yesterday I did clean out a box of old embroidery floss, and I made some progress on my Christmas swap blocks. Oh - and I ran a few essential errands. Felt funny to be out without Bill, driving myself. We tend to do everything together. I was birthday shopping for him. His big day is Monday.
So today, I'm going to work some more on my blocks, maybe make a few blocks on my QOV quilt, which is all cut out but I haven't started sewing yet. I'm also organizing a small embroidery/X-stitching kit for the trailer, and I should clean bathrooms, and plan a birthday dessert for Bill. He'd probably like apple crisp the best.
Not sure the multi-agency visit to Vicki yesterday did any good. Her SIL, Ben, is frustrated. He provided each of the four people with a fat folder with all medical records, sheriff reports, orders, violations, pictures, videos, formal complaints, witness accounts, our journal, and more. Perhaps after they have time to review all that - IF they do - they will reconsider. In the meantime, Ben is doubling his efforts to challenge the ruling from last week that Vicki is OK on her own. It's called "Joel's Law" - the ability to challenge. Vicki's kids are burned out so he has taken up the fight.
BECCA - I had to chuckle - you said you were ripping your periwinkle out and I'm encouraging mine to grow! And it's doing a good job! Scottie loves it, as did Snickers. Makes for a soft place for a dog to lie. Lay? (I never get that right!)
IRISH - your realtor is really treating you extra special! When I bought my house - back in 1986, mine gave me a towel rack! Any update on Scout? Poor Terry - I'm feeling for him and saying a prayer for Scout. I hope your friend finds just the right home for her. When you say the house she looked at is a few streets down, do you mean in your neighborhood, or down the road a few streets and in a different neighborhood? Twenty bucks! You lucky!! You have been quite the gadabout lately. Are you sure Baby Girl is getting all the attention she needs?? And you know - that pie sounds good. Maybe Bill would like something like that for his birthday . . . .
JANA - love the Kate's Cookies story! Who doesn't have a story like that in their history?! lol! Did they taste the cookies? Maybe she invented an edgy new recipe!
LORI - it must be so hard for you to watch the advance of your mom's dementia over the years. How is she doing? Still able to be at home, isn't she? At least we are only witnessing a neighbor/friend. Your mini- quilting retreat sounds like it was more fun that a big, full-fledged one!
Last night's supper was as billed - ham, scalloped potatoes, and green beans. There is plenty left for a reheat tonite only I think the veggie will be peas or broccoli.
How is your supper plan going?
