SUPPER CLUB - Wed, April 20th

[purrfect-lady]

Good morning!

38* here this morning. But it's not raining, so no complaints. Better than the poor East Coast!

Yesterday I sewed, went through summer clothes, and stacked 1 cord of firewood. I've always liked stacking wood. It felt good to be outside (sunshine!) and active. Today, more sewing, more cleaning of dresser drawers. But the firewood is all done until the next cord arrives. No idea when that will be.

BECCA - Oh, I hope CA is up to eating out. Even if it's just for pie and coffee. It will be fun to catch up with your friends.

TINA - we used to hide eggs that way, too. Twice for the kids and then the kids hid them for the grown-ups. Yes, blessings abound for me this summer. I'm excited to see Gene, especially!

JANA - glad the tractor is home again. What did Michael spill? There is a product called Wine-Away that was designed for red wine spills but it works beautifully on lots of things. Better than many other commercial stain removers. On carpets, upholstery, clothing... My next project will be a scrappy quilt, unknown pattern at this point. In manly colors for Alec's roommate. I haven't met him yet so I guess I will just make a generic man's quilt. I'm going through some of my patterns now.

IRISH - great to have you back! Yes, we're addicted to your eagles. I've taken a few pictures from the screen to share with Gene. Last night I went back and looked at the pix of those little white blobs of fluff and compared them to the "pre-teens" we have today with pin-feathers. They have grown so much! Yesterday our friend, Tex, called Bill - he was upset - the feed was lost for a while and he thought it was his computer and he couldn't see the eagles! Everyone always calls Bill with their computer problems. lol! When are you leaving again? You will LOVE Sedona! I've only been there once but it was such a special place. I would like to go back. How far in miles is Terry now from you now?

I'm going to make a pot of chili today. We're leaving Sunday for four nights of camping and I wanted to take chili along for one night's meal. So I'll be making it today, eating some tonite, and freezing the rest. I will probably add cornbread to the menu, and freeze the leftovers of that, too, for camping.

What's bubbling in your pot tonite?

Good Morning,

Guild meeting was last evening, so dinner was leftover Turkey, mashed potatoes and green peas. Lunch today will finish off the turkey. Tonight we will have Stuffed Pepper casserole.

I have class today (in person) with Grace Errea. Last night she talked about "The Value of Value". She is a very good speaker. The class should be quite interesting.

I need to get dressed and things loaded into my car. Have a great day everyone!

Carol, I've taken hee class about 10 years ago. I really enjoyed. Have fun.

Mary, are you going to the coast? I need to go through my clothes again too.

I need to vacuum today. Then sewing. I have11 quilt tops that need to be quilted. So I'm going to focus on getting them done. Jonathan is here to stay for a while. He'll be helping us and my dad with projects around the house. He's also going to travel in his camper van. He's going to check out different areas to see where he wants to land eventually.

Dinner will be chicken and potatoes and broccoli.

Have a lovely day.

Good morn-noon!

A new word, as by the time that I get this typed, it will be afternoon! LOL!

Well, I thought that Crenda and her mom were coming, but so far, a no show. I have everything straightened up and ready - oiled the machine too. Oh well...

Not much else going on here. I have been paper piecing and frogging, then taping, then resewing and then maybe re frogging. I have this third strip almost finished. about 8 pieces to add, then on to the last strip. It is a side, so it is shorter, not so many pieces. then 4 small corners and I will assemble the top together.

Dinner - I have leftovers from last night. I made my creamy orzo pasta dish, this time with chicken. It worked well!

Mary - that new quilt will be a great present for the roommate. And a surprise too! Around here, it really doesn't matter to me what season it is - I don't like sweaters, or long sleeves. Don't wear shorts either - so I don't need to rotate my clothing. Long sleeves and me have never gotten along because I have long arms and the sleeves are always too short.

Lori - nice to have Jonathon with you again. He will be a great help with your Dad.

Carol - I enjoyed taking a class on value and color placement in a block - how it can change the same block in so many ways.

Break time over - need to finish this strip - hopefully no frogging

Hugs,
Jana
