SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, April 24
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 6:50 am
Good morning,
Our rain is here. So glad. A few more days and I would have had to start watering my yard. This is unusual for April.
I got the Snail Trail all together yesterday and Bill loaded it onto the frame. I will quilt/bind/label/& mail it this morning. Whew! It was a marathon week of sewing, but I was already making this pattern and I know Don and knew he's like this one, so I just kept on sewing!
I also got the laundry done and as I folded clothes, I just trotted them right out to the trailer so that's done, too. This afternoon I will start packing food. I have a rough menu plan for the 8 nights we'll be gone and I'll take what I have on hand. There are stores around if I am lacking some things. We'll go into Astoria, Oregon at least one day. There is a very small, but very cool LQS there that I always hit when we are in town. They seem to stock fabrics and patterns just to suit my taste. In fact, the owner there is the one who showed me a neat trick for oiling my Bernina. I've been grateful to him ever since. (I hate oiling my machines!) Astoria is at the mouth of the Columbia River and it's where the Arnie movie, Kindergarten Cop, was filmed. It's kind of a fascinating little town. It's fun to watch the ships go up/down the river to/from Portland. And Lewis and Clark's winter campsite is just a few miles away. Lots of history there.
JANA - thanks for those photos. I love your little elevator. I've seen them in the Koala set-ups and it's a pretty neat concept. Will keep your machine dust-free. I did the recipe clean-out last summer. And that was just my box of recipes - which is a photo storage box. I still have a 5-1/2-foot shelf of cookbooks. (I just measured. I thought it was only 3 feet.) You'd think I was some kind of gourmet cook! lol! But I do love cookbooks.
TINA - thanks for posting the inventory of what we have for comfort quilts. Sounds like you are running a diner at your house. I do suppers but I don't cook breakfasts except on rare occasions. and if I did, the choices would be Cheerios or oatmeal and it's a serve yourself kind of joint we have. lol! Easton must have a great teacher if he's reading above level - especially in this pandemic! As to vaccinations, I suspect we'll always have to get a Covid shot every year, just like we get flu shots now. Not fun, but better than getting Covid!
BECCA - poor Wyatt! (love that name!). And how ironic that Dad picked it up so no one would get hit with it, and then Wyatt gets hit. I can picture the pattern you want to find. I usually order from Stitchery catalog. I love reading their catalog even when I'm not looking for anything new.
LORI - my heart goes out to your parents. Such a hard thing to go through.
Tonite's supper is going to be spaghetti. I have leftover sauce in the freezer that needs to be used up. I also have leftover pizza sauce and pepperoni & olives so I may make a pizza, too, and put it in the freezer for camping. I've never done that before. How bad can it be??
What's for supper at your house?
