SUPPER CLUB - Friday, March 12
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2021 5:31 am
Good morning,
Yesterday was a little more progress on DWR. Bill started checking out everything in the trailer - hot water heater, fridge, furnace, etc., and sanitizing water tanks. As long as he was doing this, I made up a menu list and carted out some non-perishable items. We're leaving in 10 days, just for 5 nights. But he is having his dental surgery Monday and they told him to expect to be "down" for a few days so he's doing all this kind of work "pre-op". Also, if he finds a problem he has time to fix it. Our window guy by and we learned a lot about windows. The best thing we learned is that it's going to cost only about half of what we thought it would. (still ain't cheap, though!) He is coming back on Tuesday for exact measurements. For two windows, he's going to have to crawl up on our roof. I think he said they are about 8 weeks out so that would put installation dates mid to late May - purrfect! We also finally got a March 29 install date for our bathroom floor and stairway carpet.
Today's plan - more DWR and whatever else pops up.
LORI - your luck, your house will catch on fire and he'll be out on the golf course! lol!
ROSEBUD - I'm glad things are getting straightened out for you at HD. We've spent a lot of time at HD lately and I always think of you every time we walk through those doors. And yes, we're one of those couples who always take their dog. He has learned that those orange aprons often hold TREATS!! He parks his little hiney in front of every orange apron he sees and tries to look as cute as possible, tail thumping hopefully. I hope you're able to work out your border soon. Maybe you'll have to break down and go shopping . . . Wouldn't that be an awful thing? NOT!
JANA - I'll make a note of that cleaner, Safelite. Thx. Did I tell you I ordered 3 of those skinny hangers? 1 to put with my watermelon WH for my sis and 2 for me for when I finally get a few skinnies made. What's the Ruby word? It's pretty close to the end of the week.. . . .
IRisH - bummer about Schwann's, isn't it. Just when I was starting to get enthused about them. And come to think of it, I haven't seen any of their trucks on the road lately. Funny about curtains. I have a few valences in sewing rooms and office and lace side panels in the living room that I take down and wash once or twice a year and put back up, but otherwise, I don't touch them. They are all about 20-22 yrs old, still in good shape, and I still like them. Guess when the new windows go in will be a good time to wash them again. Those bad owls! Between those eagle-harassing owls in FL and our hooting owls here, I'm starting to not like owls very much!
TINA - My mom never had any baby furniture for grands (And she had twenty!). We made a bed or playpen on the floor with pillows and overturned dining chairs. Worked great. And Mom didn't have to store extra furniture. I hope dust season will be over soon. Is the dust that bad only on windy days or even non-windy days? Maybe they should have sprinkling trucks precede the tractors through the fields. They do that in heavy construction sites. I did see the photos you put on FB. Actually, Bill was looking at them and I happened into the room. I'm not on FB much myself.
Tonite - baked chicken breasts, wild rice, and cauliflower. Not sure how I'll fix the cauliflower yet, but I'm open to ideas if any of you have good recipes.
