SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, June 6th
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2021 7:00 am
Good morning,
We are very cool this morning and not going to get a lot warmer today. Rain is moving in about noon. Hard to believe so many of you are going through a heat wave! Seems there is no happy medium anywhere.
Our day trip to the coast yesterday was nice. A good visit with Bill's sis and DBIL, lunch with them at the winery, picked up our quarterly club selection (2 bottles), and drove home. 200 mi round trip so it was an all day thing and we got home with just one minute to spare before Scottie's supper time! Whew! That was close! Today will be a combination of things. Maybe pack some things into the trailer (my clothes and most non-perishable food is already in), cut more star blocks to take along, also R/W/B fabric for lotto blocks and pinks and some greens for my new Gypsy Dancer project. We won't be going with friends this time so our time will be our own and I can do (I hope) some relaxed sewing. I also need to do some house cleaning before we leave. We return June 24. My DD#1, Lara, texted me last night that they are coming for a visit June 19-July 3. They will be staying at a hotel in Bremerton, 30 miles north of us near their son's house. They have penciled us in for brunch (I guess at our house) June 25th. So I need to be ready for that, too, the morning after we get home. So some time organization will be in order for the coming days. We leave Friday morning for camping.
BECCA - no, no animal problems with leaving the crockpot on the deck. And I don't really worry about fire risk from an appliance like that, but since we were leaving for all day and our pets were in the house and unable to get out, I try to take what precautions I can. After two fires ( though both were arson), it's never far from my mind when we leave the house.
JANA - I hope everyone made it home from camping OK. They didn't stay long. Sorry to hear your little Gracie got sick. Hope it was just a combo of heat/food/excitement/car riding. That's what got Autumn every time when she was little. And you are done cleaning carpets??
I'm not sure what suppertime holds for us this evening. I am so out of ideas and so tired of cooking. It's pretty chilly here and will be rainy, too, so grilling is probably out. Maybe just some homemade chicken noodle soup. Right now that sounds pretty good to me. And Bill loves it.
Has anyone got any other good ideas to share?
