Not a lot happening here this morning. After my walk, I have chiropractor and then a quick stop at the drugstore and then to pick up the mail. I'll get a few sewing things ready for the trailer. I'm pulling fabrics for LOTR blocks. Since a 7" blocks takes me about 4 hours, I won't need to take much because most of our time is spent outside around the campfire, walking the beach, touring the little nearby towns, and even a hop over the bridge into Astoria to the quilt shop there, maybe Costco, and probably the big grocery store. It's always fun to visit other Costco's. We'll be gone a week and since friends are going with us, sewing time will be limited. I know I'm overpacking. I usually do.
I also think I might mix up some cookie dough and freeze it in "drops" so I can make hot fresh cookies while camping. I will prep other food, too, for the trailer freezer. I chop onions and peppers, form burgers, and make enchiladas. I also bought a pre-made lasagna and am taking a pork roast and rolls for BBQ'd sandwiches with the leftovers. And everything to make chili and cornbread. I make up a mix of the dry ingredients for my cornbread and then just add the wet ingredients. Great dutch oven fare! I should be pretty well prepared.
TINA, you are always busy, busy, busy - like the Energizer Bunny. (I love the Energizer Bunny!). How was your dad's appointment yesterday? I've never done a teledoc appt. Not sure I could figure it out either! And yes, I do get up early. I love mornings. But I go to bed early, too. So usually get in about 7 hours.
LATER: Oh I see your dad's appt went well! Relief all around!
BECCA - I hope you and CA are able to stay in your home for a long time to come. I think everyone does best in their own home. You are right about the pillows - they can make or break a good night's sleep - and a neck! Right now we have 14 different pillows, so I hope Bill finds something he likes.
JANA - you really made me laugh when you mentioned rearranging the kitchen! Back in the mid-90's I swapped the utensil drawer and the silverware drawer. It made sense to put the silverware near the dishes and the utensils where I used them. Good gosh almighty! You'd have thought I'd picked up the house and rotated it 180*! Bill complained about that for about 15 years!! Last year I moved pans/baking dishes around to save my back from too much bending. He only complained a little bit then- because he never has to get out pans or baking dishes! I love your RR track plans!
IRISH - today is roof day!! Hope the weather cooperates! Funny about different cars in your driveway. People might start thinking you'd "gone into business"!
You did mention money stashed here and there. I think a lot of folks do that. My dad kept a fake wallet with just a bit of cash handy in case someone broke in and demanded money. He figured they would believe that was all he had. VELDA - I did some of that the other day - sorted, tossed, donated. (or I WILL donate when I get the box filled up). The fabric Drew brought is part of the same line I bought so it will make purrfect borders and pillowcases. I have backing already - a map of Middle Earth where the story takes place. My other fabric will be sashing. His is a larger print. All three are in the photo I posted on Monday in Sew-in.
I made chicken soup last night. We have enough left for tonite though if Bill wants something different we can have the soup for lunch. He might prefer grilled burgers or enchiladas, both of which I have in the freezer. He will get his choice. Like with kids, life is always easier if he's allowed to make some important decisions, so I'll give him this one. lol!
How about you? What are YOU deciding to have for supper tonite?
