SUPPER CLUB - Wed, April 21
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2021 6:46 am
Good morning!
We are having one last day in the low 70's. Then 2 cloudy days of 63' and after that a week of rainy 50's. Just in time for camping. Sigh. But I've done a lot of rainy camping and many were in our tent and outhouse days. So guess I won't complain now that take along our own bathroom, a queen-sized bed, TV, sewing machine, and shower.
Yesterday went according to plan - sewing for me, stair-ing for Bill. He got the lower landing on the stairway yesterday. We are both about 40% done. Today we both have appointments at different times (him dental and me chiropractor) and we need to grocery shop and hit Costco tonite or tomorrow morning.
Yesterday evening, while relaxing on the deck, Foxy brought us a baby bunny. 'Tis the season. I picked it up gently, stroking it's soft little head and crooning to it. It settled right into the crook of my arm. I carefully carried him back out to the woods and, making sure Foxy wasn't watching, turned him loose and he took off like a shot! He probably thought he'd been on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! The evening before we received a bird which we also rescued. He is a giving cat.
JANA - I read that poor Enoch is back in the hospital and on the 'transplant list' once again. Matt must just feel like banging his head against the wall! Even I do! We have several of those emergency lights. Upstairs, downstairs, trailer, truck. They are great! But I wouldn't want one on my sewing table ALL THE TIME. Maybe Michael can put up a small shelf close to your table and let it rest there until you need it, you know, for emergencies. . . You know, Bill and I were talking about what we would like next for the house/yard and there really is nothing. Our kitchen floor is in the works but it will be a while as the flooring place is swamped and we're not in a hurry. But that's it! It's taken us almost 7 years, but I think we're good now perhaps for as long as we'll live in this house. And hopefully that's a long long time.
BECCA - Looks like some cold weather is headed your way! Better bundle up! I'm sorry to hear about your niece. I pray she has loving support nearby.
TINA - sorry for the electronic woes. Sounds like the directions for setting up your printer are much like some quilting patterns. lol! Better off doing it your own way. Ask the kids for your own set of girly tools for Mother's Day. They make them with pink, purple, floral handles, you know. Frankie won't want THOSE in his toolbox! I actually have the opposite problem. I have a small hammer with a handle that twists off and becomes a screwdriver. I keep it in a small drawer in the kitchen with tacks, a few tiny nails, masking tape, etc. And Bill keeps adding some of his tools to it until the drawer is jammed and I can't find anything! I have to clean it out now and then and return his tools to the garage.
I think tonite we're going to have some of those tamales I made last month. And maybe refried beans, maybe rice, maybe everything! We'll see how tired we are tonite.
Hope your supper is as good as I'm hoping ours will be!
