SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, April 20th
Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2021 6:01 am
Good morning,
Busy day here. I made good progress on Snail Trail plus we have the lowest section of our stairway finished. I took a break to see the dentist about my chipped tooth. It is the crown from one of my implants but he says, unless it keeps breaking, it's not a big deal - fixing it would only be cosmetic. I told him that he's the only one that sees that tooth so if it doesn't bother him, it won't bother me. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes and most of that was chatting with staff. I was saddened to hear that my hygenist for many years, "Tom", who retired March 14th, passed away suddenly last week. He had become fanatical about getting healthy, using his elliptical machine and I guess he was drinking protein shakes. He collapsed while using the machine. Such cruel irony. And such a nice guy. He was in my late hubby's high school class of 1969. There's a moral to this story I think. All things in moderation - even healthy things.
Today will be more of the same as yesterday - quilting and 'stepping' and not much else.
TINA - Small wonder you are sleeping so soundly! I'm glad you were naughty and stopped into S.C.! You keep so busy. All those baby animals were so cute, I'm sure!
BECCA - I love the name Xander. Our younger grandson is Alexander, though he goes by Alec. I hope you can find some healthy snacks to tempt CA. Maybe Beth can come up with some protein-filled cookies or "bites" that you can keep at his elbow for snacking. Or give you recipes filled with oatmeal, dried fruit, and other hidden healthy ingredients.
IRiSH - so happy to see you here! We've missed you! Covid has so many different and lingering symptoms and after-effects and they seem different for everyone. I can't believe you flipped your mattress all by yourself! I guess we've given up flipping ours as we haven't done it for a few years. Just too heavy for us anymore and we have always done it together. Valerie said her DD lives in Sparks, 4 hours from Val. Wouldn't it be funny if she and Kathy knew each other. .
JANA - I figured you really knew that star but it has so many different names. On one website that star is called "Austin", which is my maiden name, so it's a favorite of mine. But for now it's set aside so I can do the Snail Trail. Too funny about your Smurfette experience. I've seen fabric do that, and jeans, too, but not after a few washings.
LORI - I'm sorry your family is traveling this journey with your mom. What you are describing is exactly like how my brother was describing his wife about 3 yrs ago. She was even hitting him. But eventually, after about a year, the anger faded away and she became more docile. He kept her at home with him until last Nov 30. Partly because of Covid, partly because of lack of beds in Fairbanks, partly because of expense, and partly because he felt guilty "putting her in a home". But finally, just as she became too heavy care for him a bed opened up. And after both being vaccinated, he's able to see her again and says she's happy and thriving and even put on a little weight. And if I show you pictures that make you want to sew something, then good for me! lol! How many projects have I done because I've loved something you've done! Turn about's fair play.
Supper tonite? Could be anyone's guess here, but maybe something on the grill. I have chops and steaks. I forgot we bought steaks but noticed them in the freezer last night. So perhaps that, a potato of some sort, and salad.
What sounds good at your house?
