I hear Dean next door crowing the neighborhood awake with his cheerful cocka-doodle-dos! I love that little rooster.
Yesterday took a left turn for both of us. I got my few yard chores accomplished. But Bill got a distress call from our friend, Tex. They are having windows installed yesterday and today. Tex needed help so off Bill went. In the afternoon he came home and got quite a bit done on the deck stairway, but he will be going back today to finish yesterdays project. They are re-routing electrical wires and a hose bib. Tex is having a sliding glass door installed where a window was and the wiring in the walls was getting in the way. And since their house is all torn up, we spur-of-the-moment invited Tex & Annette here for supper so I spent my afternoon making chicken cacciatore and a walnut cake. It all turned out pretty good and we have plenty left for tonite, so we may invite them back. I KNOW their house will still be in upheaval.
So I have the day to sew! Yay! I also plan to do a little laundry and wash our new cotton sheets. Our new mattress is coming tomorrow. The day will be a good one for putting the sheets on the lines, too. I love that!
IRISH - so happy to see you here! Sorry to hear about your back, though. I hope that whale was worth it! Nice that Kevin will come by and help out. How far away does he live from you?
TINA - Yes, you do deserve a MAJOR Happy Mothers Day from ALL your family! I'm so happy they gave you such a nice day! A birdbath is a purrfect gift for you! You know - since you already have a turtle bath.
BECCA - I know you have visitors so we will catch you on the flip side.
JANA - Bummer for you that Daniel has decided to stay in CA. Our news says that everyone else is leaving the state in droves. But good jobs for both of them count for a lot. I love the idea of a surprise party for Michael! Did you ever make up that train panel I sent you years ago? If not, this might be the time for it . . .
Well, like I said, it's going to be chicken cacciatore again tonite. And walnut cake. But I'll toss a fresh salad. I don't know if T&A will come or not, but even so, the menu will be the same.
What about you? I have plenty to share with drop-ins . . . . .
