SUPPER CLUB - Friday, Sept 24
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:41 am
Good morning,
We woke up at 3:30 to an urping cat. I think it was a false alarm, though, because I couldn't find any "urp". But by then, I was awake so here I am. I hear some people live without pets. I wonder what their lives are like . . . .
Yesterday I spent the entire day working on that block. I finished it and proudly texted a picture to Tina who immediately saw my glaring mistake. Arghhh!! So I'm going to fix that this morning and then set the entire project aside for a few days. I have other things I need to work on.
TINA - thanks! (I think.)
CAROL - great idea to color the pattern. And I have done that with some of the blocks. This particular block (8"x24") has about 180 pieces and has difficulties all it's own. Part of my problem is just determining what color I should color it! Though this big mistake I made - if I'd colored it, it would have really helped! I did WRITE which color to use though. But either I wrote it wrong or just was tired and picked up the wrong fabric. Oh well. It will be a quick fix. And I've passed the halfway point!
IRISH - When you hang out at a hoarder's house, you get the urge to clean out your own, don't you! I hope you get your porch roof soon. I know when we put one over our deck, it tripled the use we get out of it! How big is your deck? Is your sis going to put her mobile on her property or is she completely relocating?
CHICKIE - You will be loving those pear desserts come winter! But what a lot of work. Just thinking about peeling all that fruit made my hands ache. Maybe I'm glad I don't have any fruit trees. . . Good luck at the doctor today. We'll be waiting to hear what he says.
JANA - Wear that badge proudly! Sometimes it's very hard to earn a "You Are Awesome!" badge from a daughter! I'm happy to hear that Sarah is figuring out some great recipes to suit her diet. Maybe she should write a special cookbook.
VELDA - those diapers are really great but they look like a lot of work! A real labor of love. But like Jana said, I wouldn't be surprised if mom ends up going the disposable route before too long. I know that's what my DD did. She lasted until the first dirty (not just wet!) diaper. I remember she asked me how to clean it. I said, dip it into the toilet up and down until all the chunkies were off, then wring it out and toss it into the diaper pail. haha! I thought she was going to faint! She refused to touch it and actually flushed the entire diaper down the toilet! She never used another cloth diaper.
BECCA - your housekeeper is still sick?! She must have had a really hard case. You are wise to make certain she is completely well before returning to your house. Hope you are feeling better today.
Tonite's supper is going to be orange chicken. With jasmine rice and a salad. This is Bill's new favorite so he was happy to hear!
How about you?
