We are cooling down today. Yesterday was 81* and today will be 75*. After our chiropractic appts we're driving back to Mineral for Al's graveside service. For an uspecified reason this didn't happen on Saturday so it means another 150-mile trip for us and another late supper for Scottie. But I wouldn't miss it.
Yesterday I did a little "picking up" around the house, pieced two quilt backs, and Bill got my R/W/B Stars on the frame and about 1/3 quilted. I hope he has time to work on it a bit more this morning. I have Dizzy Daizy ready to go right after this one if I can keep him focused. I have 14 tops that need quilting. I will do about 2/3 of those myself - freehand meander - but some just cry for some of the pretty computerized patterns he has.
IRISH - have you never had split pea soup?? It's my favorite though I DO NOT like canned. Doesn't taste anything like the real stuff. I add diced onion, carrot, celery, and potato to mine, some bay leaves, a bit of oregano, and I also toss in about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes just for a bit of zip. If I want to add meat - diced ham or kielbasa or bacon. Some folks toss in a whole hambone. I think we have one of those tiny bottles of paint for touch-ups on Perry, but this problem would take a whole pint, I think! lol! Sounds like you have some busy times coming up!
JANA - you know, maybe that pulpit did have a pull-out step. I didn't see one, but then I didn't look either. Oh well. They probably could see the top of my head bobbing around like a red rubber ball!
That was good enough. Sorry your grout will be taking longer than you thought. It will almost be like camping out in your own house! With no sleeping on the ground!BECCA - I bet CA is tired, but hopefully a good tired, after the big party over the weekend. And I'm guessing the twins took it all in stride, with big eyes wondering why all those people were fussing over them! I hope the coming storm doesn't hit you too hard,
I had a big pot full of split pea soup that I made Saturday, so we invited Doyle and Susie over for impromptu soup and homemade cheesy biscuits. I used Chickie's baking powder recipe and tossed in a handful of shredded cheddar. Yum! We sat outside around the fire to eat. Good thing our friends are all campers with casual eating habits! We have just enough soup left for two more servings and since it's going to be another long day today, I think that's what we'll have tonite - soup and toast.
What's on your menu for tonite?
he's a comedian.
