SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, July 19th
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2020 6:38 am
Good morning,
We are having a beautiful day here - pretty morning, coffee and computer out on the deck. Listening to the fountain and talking to my "peeps". Going to about 79* today. Maybe I'll do a little laundry and put it on the lines.
IRISH - your Terry should win a blue ribbon for best doggie-daddy! How are they doing in their new house? How far are they from you now that you moved? Your sister is a bad influence! Just like mine! Ain't it fun??
JANA - So happy to hear Michael's scan came back clean! Such a relief for you all. What sauce did you use for your meatballs and polenta? Two days ago I fell asleep in front of TV while hand-embroidering, and yesterday I nodded off while machine blanket stitching and stitched an inch into my white background! With red thread! I thought maybe I should give in and take a nap, went out to the porch swing, and found I was too late - already occupied. Sigh. But I didn't go back and sew!
BECCA - I bet your yard bouquets are lovely. What flowers do you grow for cutting? I have a few bug-eaten roses, and dying fireweed, but those are the only blossoms in my yard. Mom had lilacs, snowballs, dahlias, and asters for the most part and often had bouquets in the house.
LORI - so sorry to hear your FIL is already declining. That Jack - a flower-lover! Yes, we are hoping all our careful documentation does something for Vicki. And as bad as it all is, when she left yesterday for her weekly outing with her son, we decided to go scout around - we hadn't done that for a long time and we've found it behooves us to know what's on the ground at her house. The usual garbage is all around outside but We peeked in the windows and were appalled at the INSIDE the house! Garbage piled high in the kitchen. And being dragged through the house by the rats. She says she is unable to take the garbage can out to the road anymore which I'm sure is true - a little less than a tenth of a mile. And those folks and the deputy saw it all when they came on Friday, so maybe after reading the info Ben gave them, they will be back. Vicki really needs to at least go for a 72-hr psyche eval.
Yesterday afternoon we lost Albert. We went to visit him, but got to the hospital and he had already had his allowed number of visitors for the day - At least he was allowed 4. In some areas, NO family can be with people as they pass away, so we felt blessed. We had a parking lot visit with my niece and came back home and he slipped away about 4 hours later. I was happy that that fourth visitor was his granddaughter. She really needed to see her Gramps. As sad as we all are, we're also relieved and happy for Al - now he's with Jim and our parents.
Not sure what I'm going to do today. Laundry and grocery shop and maybe sew. But for supper, we have a little ham, a little scalloped potatoes, and peas so I'm going to combine them all into a little one dish meal, I think.
