SUPPER CLUB - Monday, Aug 9
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2021 6:16 am
Good morning,
We're off camping this morning. We leave in about 2 hours so I have a lot to do as I just rolled out of bed. We're stopping along the way to visit my brother, Albert's wife, Barb. She lives about 2 hours from us. We'll be camping at a State park right on the Columbia river, (WA side), about 70 miles east of Portland. We'll be home Thursday. Just as a new heat wave hits here. We'll be flirting with 100* again if forecasts are correct.
Yesterday I got about 9 blocks cut out and bagged for Spell Dancer. I'm taking my Halloween fabrics and might get more cut out, bagged, and labeled on this trip. EAch block is different so I put them in sandwich bags and label them. I learned the first time I did this pattern that labeling is essential.
IRISH - Good for your sis! Sounds like it's time for a move. How far will she be from you? Bill's sis and DBIL ordered a doublewide 2 yrs ago. It was mfd'd to their specs and it took about 6 months before they actually moved in. It's a beautiful home, purrfect for the two of them, though I would wish for more kitchen storage than they have.
TINA - glad you got most of what you wanted yesterday. Happy Birthday to Matthew. Hard to believe he's 4 yrs old. I'm not sure what "budding" is but hope it works out this time.
VELDA - what a bummer about your solar lights. We've had them for years in our yard, though not now since we re-landscaped 3 yrs ago. But they are so pretty. I'd like new ones. What's the word on the sale of your truck/trailer? And did you buy your new car yet or were you just looking?
JANA - sorry about the cupcakes. Did you use a timer? Bill has learned a lot (when he's awake) because we watch Great British Baking Show. Kudos for Sarah!
CAROL - there you are! Was thinking of you the other day as I was going through my recipe box. So many of them say "From QIAD Carol"! Especially the pork brine. Thank you for your comments on my "Pinkie". I'm now on my fourth Gypsy Wife and I've kind of got the bugs worked out. The bugs being me. This pattern is always a challenge. But I love it. Jen Kingwell is Australian and patterns are written a tiny bit differently from what I am accustomed to. I bought Asics shoes. My chiro wears them and likes them. I'd never heard of them before. I took out the soles and inserted my orthotics. I've only worn them one day so far. My first pair of shoes with orthotics was Brooks Running shoe and the sole broke down in 3 months so I won't be buying those again. New Balance lasted longer, but again, soles broke down after about 5 months. I've gone shoeless in the house for years but now I have to wear shoes most of the time with orthotics, so I'm still getting used to that, tripping over my shadow.
Supper tonite will be BBQ'd pork sandwiches and pasta salad. We'll have fresh veggies for HH snack.
I'm not taking my confuser camping but will check in with my phone if we have service along the river. If not, well, I hope someone sets the table so no one starves while I'm gone! I'll be home Thursday afternoon. See y'all then!

I just love them.

So excited. Dealership will deliver it when we call after the sale of camper and truck. Then we give them a check. We didn't want to finance it. This is perfect timing.
