SUPPER CLUB - Wed, April 7
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2021 6:58 am
Good morning,
We've been having morning temps in low 30's but close to 60 by afternoon. We sat on our deck until 7:30 last night, had happy hour, supper, TV, and cross-stitching. The fur-boys lounged with us. So nice! But today will be about 48 and rainy. Sure hope those May flowers are pretty and plentiful!
Yesterday I quilted and bound my scrappy quilt and finished cutting out my Halloween tablerunner. Then we went to Tacoma and picked up my Bernie, "Chip", from the spa. I packed up "Stitch", my travel Bernie, and off he went into the trailer. Today, I'll make binding for the GT quilt and sew it on, start sewing my runner, make my log cabin block for the sew-along, and maybe get my UGRR ready for the quilt frame. Our window installation date was bumped up again and they will be here next Tuesday and we have to make sure they have at least 2 feet of room in front of every window, so soon we'll be moving furniture again. I'm trying to make sure whatever project I have in the works can be easily shoved aside that day.
BECCA - Yes, that cross-stitch project is going to take me a long time to finish. 2 or 3 years probably because I have to take long breaks from projects like that. So do you have any more family coming this weekend or are you resting up for CA's birthday? Isn't it in May? Or is it July? Bill is in July.
CHICKIE!!! - we are so happy to see you back! Let's hope you never need that 'go' bag again! Mr. Bert is a cutie! And it's hard to believe that PL and Blondie are moms! They grow up so fast. Where does the time go?? Glad to hear you are back in your sewing room. My BFF, Marlene, had a stroke back in '06. She was only 56 at the time. She had to learn a lot of things over again but with practice and perseverance, she has done very well and never had another problem.
JANA - nice to know you almost have your house just the way you want it! We've kind of been doing the same thing here, but on a smaller, slower scale. Same with the yard. Bill says Vicki doesn't have fuses per se, but an electrical panel. She probably flips a switch frequently, but does have the mental wherewithall to reset it. But doesn't seem to grasp the danger of what she is doing. And we agree with you - not sure how to pray this scenario out - that they fix it or let it be condemned. And if the house is condemned, what then? Will family fix it up and someone move in? Strangers? Developers? Maybe we'll buy it and fix it ourselves. Just don't know . . . It's 2-1/2 acres, the other half of ours, which was once a 5 acre piece.
Our leftovers are dwindling. I diced up a few cups of ham for the freezer to make split pea soup later. and I put the rest - potatoes, ham, brussels sprouts - together into a small casserole. It was really good. But there's still enough of that for tonite. I'm getting tired of it, but we can do it one more time, I think. Then I want something totally different!! Maybe that soup. Or grilled pork chops. or chicken.
What are YOU looking forward to for your supper?
