SUPPER CLUB - Wed, July 21
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2021 6:13 am
Good morning,
Oooooh, my house smells so good! I've had our breakfast in the crockpot, cooking all night. Yum! It should be ready by about 8:30am. It's eggs and hashbrowns with diced ham, peppers, onions, and cheddar cheese.
The party last night was fun. Great to see everyone, though half the folks came from our house! lol! The gathering was actually because the hosts built a huge new deck and wanted to celebrate that. It just happened to be two birthdays and an anniversary the same day. We got home just before full dark and our group sat around the propane campfire (we have fire ban on) until about 10pm. Two trailers will leave this morning and Bob & Betsy will leave tomorrow morning. Not sure what we're going to do with B & B today. Maybe go for a ride and show them more of the area. They had made plans with another couple today but for some reason that fizzled. Vicki was pretty upset last night, making gestures, yelling, and banging things together. Plus, someone let Scottie out of the house and he shot right over there to check out the garbage pile. She got some kind of long-handled garden tool that she held threateningly as if she was going to beat Scott and/or Bill, who went to get him. Life is never dull.
LORI - oh, that sound like it was no kind of fun! I hope you are feeling better today and all will be OK.
IRISH - Always happy to have you sitting around the table! How fun to have sneaky plans afoot! Do you think they can keep the 80th birthday party a surprise? And bonus - you get to see your Kathy!
JANA - ouch on your knee! Will you be looking at replacement surgery one day? Half the folks at the party last night have had joint replacements and say life is so much better since. Glad you have Ethan to give a hand. October should be a terrific time to visit D-land. They decorate everything for Halloween, I'm told.
VELDA - I saw your #16 block. All your blocks look great together! Life has been so busy here that I haven't done my 16 yet. But soon. Despite all the chaos I've managed to get in some sewing time and have my Gypsy almost half assembled. But it's such a mess in my sewing room with piles of fabric, blocks, strips, design board, and more that I just don't have space to haul out my bin of 30's fabrics yet. That's the only problem I have with sew-alongs, having to get the fabrics back out every week when I have other projects taking up all my work space. I originally thought about making two sew-along blocks each week, one in bright batiks or Christmas, or . . . . But I had enough problems keeping everything straight as it was. lol!
As for supper, we'll just have Bob & Betsy left tonite. Another friend was having us all over for BBQ'd ribs but that was cancelled so I'll be making orange chicken, salad, and croissant rolls. There's a lot of birthday cake left over for afters.
So what's your plan?
PS - Bill put photos on FB of our 'campground' if you want to check them out.
