SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, Nov 6
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2021 5:37 am
Good morning,
We had a wee bit of sunshine yesterday! Bill got several more tractor bucket loads of leaves picked up. They are about 80% down now. The colors, which turned in just two weeks, are bright yellows and some oranges. Big maple leaves. In past years, they've been kind of a moldy brown and gold. Things are changing . . . He also started the quilting on my 30's Sew-Along from this past year. So I will be back in the binding business again soon. After that, only two more in the QQ. (Quilting Queue). They will have to wait until spring. One is my hand embroidered state birds and the other is a gold/black/cream Tennessee Waltz I made about 6 yrs ago for a wedding that never happened. Not sure what I'm going to do with it - donation? Gift stash? Other?
I Got two LOTRs finished yesterday but I see a mistake on one so I'm going to to a little bit of frogging this morning and repair it. It bothers me. I also spent a couple hours out in the trailer, organizing food, clothes, storage bins, etc. Wish I had a crystal weather ball for Texas this year. We've been down there when it's 80* in the winter and also when it's freezing. We have to pack for it all.
VELDA - sorry you lost your internet yesterday. when I mess up my posts (which happens a lot if you're me!) I usually can get it back by hitting Ctrl and Z. But not if the internet has gone down. I'm glad you could give your niece her gift in person. That is a gift itself! I'm sure she loved it! When will you be heading home?
JANA - our bridges are a few hundred feet apart, 4 lanes each, no ramps, no turn arounds on either end until you get to the next exits. And they are 150' above some of the deepest water in Puget Sound. If someone tried to "flip a U-ie", there would really be no need for Aaron to hurry. Good to hear Michael is making strides - even if they are baby strides. How is that Christmas Ribbons quilt coming along? Did you say you are almost to the sashing part?? You've been busy!
BECCA - I hope your tickly throat and sniffly nose are gone today. You sure don't need any kind of virus! I was wondering if your drugstore delivers? Or at least has a drive-up window.
LORI - going through kitchen cabinets can be a real chore. I did mine a few years ago and it took me 2-1/2 days. But so worth it! They are still, for the most part, organized. I used to do quite a bit of scrapbooking - mostly for my siblings and kids, but a few for us. Now I just file all the pictures into acid-free photo boxes. I have a special box just for my quilting/crafting pictures.
Tonite I think we'll have chicken salad sandwiches and salads. Mostly because I have two hamburger buns that need to be used up and it's too cold and wet out to grill.
What's on your menu for tonite?
