SUPPER CLUB - Wed, July 7
Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2021 6:54 am
Good morning,
Well, once again we should have been careful what we wished for - we'll only be 66* and cloudy today. But SO MUCH better than 107*!
We got our new kitchen floor yesterday and it really looks nice. And he laid it on top of the old floor so now I'm 1/4" taller in my kitchen! Whoo Hoo!! Now I can reach the second row of coffee mugs on the second shelf! (If I stand on tippy-toe) I feel like such a big girl! I did nothing all day long but play in my sewing room. I finished the last two main blocks in "Gypsy" (Now I only have to make the 57 'filler' blocks!) and then worked on my Christmas swap blocks. One block is finished - my sample. And I traced, fused, and rough cut 13 more blocks. Today I'll cut out the rest and make my background (snow and sky). And do a couple loads of wash and wash some of the high-up dusty things that require a 3-step ladder to get down.
I got a text from MARY ROSE a few weeks ago. She was showing me the progress she is making on her cross-stitched picture of her DGD who is getting married. This picture is going on their wedding quilt. She said then that she is working full-time and comes home from work VERY Tired. No progress with the doctors. She feels like she fell through their cracks. These days you have to be your own advocate and keep calling them.
Also, CHICKIE had a bad bout of vertigo and fell while out walking. She always carries her phone so she called her DH and he came and got her with the ATV. She was feeling better after resting the rest of the day.
Last we heard of BECCA, which was from CHICKIE, is she is still in rehab. Anxious to be home. Her facility is almost 70 miles from home. I don't think she has any family at all near her.
JANA - well, who doesn't love a dinosaur dress!? When I was little I loved Daniel Boone and had some clothes with scenes of him that I wore with my coonskin cap. To church. And everywhere else. So I understand the Dinosaurs! lol!
TINA - with your temps it sounds like it's time to grill or use the crockpot to make supper. On really hot days I set my crockpot outside as even that can add to the heat. Glad you are painting before attaching the skirting. So much easier!
I can't decide on supper for tonite. I need to take stock of some things. I have plenty of food to cook, but I also have to make some company meals in a few weeks. I need to check pull dates on my ham, ricotta, etc, that would make good company meals. I might have to use them up sooner. So, it could be tamales, lasagna, tacos, ham, or chicken. I'll stop back here later to see what you all are making and maybe I'll get an idea from one of you.

Holly put down some laminate flooring that is really close to ½" thick. We decided when we replace ours that we're getting the kind she got, we really like hers! Oh yes for sure I'm painting before it gets put up LOL, touch ups are easy easier than totally painting after installation. We usually cook on the grill unless I'm making tacos or burritos.... stuff like that. I do use my crockpot too, I love not much work and having yummy suppers. 
lol!
