SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, Oct 10
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2021 7:35 am
Good morning,
Well, yesterday was nothing like I thought it would be. Our friends assured us they had been home from their cruise for 15 days, past the 2-wk quarantine time (which they agreed was only smart to observe!) so they brought a pizza and I braved the store on the weekend for salad makings and ice cream for dessert. While I was out I mailed three packages, picked up our mail, and waited in long lines for everything. All that took me 2 hours. Sigh. Then I had to empty dishwasher, set the table, make the salad. I was left with only 1-1/2 hours to sew. I made a small gift for my Elf and fixed an Alaska block that didn't turn out quite right. DH got in more sewing time than I did yesterday! lol! He has my second Halloween quilt half quilted. I'm hoping he might finish it this morning so I can bind and label it and maybe this afternoon we'll go deliver them to the boys. I don't think either one of them works on Sundays.
TINA - how was the party? I bet Preston was squealing with excitement. I was a squealer and know how excited birthdays used to be. Any idea of how long until your king quilt will be ready? You will have lots of binding to do. Will you do it by hand or machine? Ahhh... I'd forgotten about painting the house. That is really going to cut into your quilting time. Maybe you need to have a BYOP (Bring Your Own Paintbrush) party and invite all the kids. You do a lot for them and it would be a great way for them to show their appreciation and return the favor(s).
BECCA - glad you are having some nice weather so you can walk. Do you walk on walking trails, along the road, or ?? You live close to the Blue Ridge, don't you? We drove the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway almost 20 years ago, camping along the way. It really took our breath away.
JANA - I'm happy to hear your sweetie has come home! And that the kids are better, done with quarantine, and are good to go on their trip to D-land. I bet they were sweating that! Now to get Michael up and running. Does he have a bell or cell phone to summon his nurse if he needs you and you are in another part of the house? I get so angry at people who insist Covid is just another flu. It is SOO not! Ask almost anyone who has gone through it!
VELDA- happy to hear things are getting better at your house, too. I hope your hubby improves quickly. My nephew & wife both had Covid, just narrowly missed going into the hospital. They were SOOO fatigued. Their best advise is MASKS!!! and also to keep a stock of simple foods handy, like soups. He said no one feels like cooking when they are that sick. So, while we eat very few boxed or canned foods, we are laying in a supply "just in case". If we get lucky enough to avoid the virus, they make great camping meals.
CAROL - thanks for the wool advice. I'm going to take it! Guess I better start shopping. How is your little kitty doing? You DID get a new kitty some months back, didn't you, and wasn't she a real "go-getter"? As most kitten are.
Well, looks like supper-time will be rolling around again today. We were going to have our leftover chili last night but Gus & Claudia brought pizza by instead, so guess we'll have the chili tonite. I also have leftover cornbread in the freezer, so a few pieces of that will come out to warm up.
How about all of you? Got a plan yet?
