SUPPER CLUB - Friday, Nov 5th
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:02 am
Good morning!
Well, I got all our Christmas gifts wrapped and into the mail yesterday. Whew! One big thing checked off our "to-do" list. I got my machine back, cleaned my sewing room (what a mess!), started sorting the 5 yrs of photographs we got back from Costco yesterday, and started another LOTR block. A full day. Nothing is on my calendar for today so I guess I'll sew. This afternoon, I think I'll start working in the trailer, stowing things we've already taken out there and rearranging some stuff. Time to start making our lists. Takes a lot of planning to get house/yard/trailer/Christmas all organized for a 3-month trip.
BECCA - oh, those military leaves are treasures to moms! I remember how my mom cried when my brothers would come home. I'm glad your Tina got to spend the time with her boy.
TINA - it feels so good to be purging things you no longer need, and getting money for them is the icing on that cake! Bill just did that with a lot of his stuff - 3 trailers, tires, and some ammo. What did you decide on a quilt? How is the new storage shed coming along?
JANA - haha! There's no turning around on OUR bridge - it's TWO bridges! One for each direction. And a 150' drop to the water below. We have a twin-sized air bed if we REALLY need one, though maybe a cot would be better . . . We hauled that airbed to Alaska with us - 8 week trip - so my sis could sleep on it when she flew up to join us at our brother's for 4 days. Never thought of a cot.
LORI - I'm glad you got your machine repaired and finally returned. (I hope they didn't charge you the entire fee since you were the one that discovered the problem!) I wouldn't be happy either. It's a 30-mile round trip to our sew&vac shop and the bridge toll is $5.25. At least we only have to pay going one direction.
Unless things change, I'm finally going to do that veggie stir-fry tonite. Probably over rice. I just found some cooked rice in the freezer that will do nicely. We've been eating down our freezer but we do leave our fridge on when we travel. Freezers work more efficiently when full so if I think about it, I might fill it up with TP and paper towels while we're gone. That's where my younger sister, Teese, stores her paper goods when there's room.
Anyhoo, what's for supper at your house?
