SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, May 3
Posted: Tue May 03, 2022 7:07 am
Good morning,
Yesterday was a wet and chilly day. Brrr...... Today, it's just going to be chilly. But tomorrow - 65*! Long range forecast is that all of May is going to be damp and chilly.
I don't think I got much done yesterday. Made my spaghetti sauce, which Bill says turned out pretty good. I cleaned one bathroom, made one quilt block, and did two loads of laundry. I watched IRISH'S eagles do a lot of fun things. They are almost as big as Dad now! Dad is about 25% smaller than Mom.
I have no plans for today. Maybe more yard work this afternoon. Maybe sewing some strips. Maybe - gasp - wash a window. No! Not that! I can't be that bored!
VELDA-I have a LOT of cookbooks. Most of them I never open, but I love having them. If I had to downsize I could. But since I have room for them, I just enjoy owning them. My red/white one is Better Homes and Gardens - one that I do use occasionally. As for Lotto, Val has given a lot of leeway on the fabrics. I bet you have something that would work.
Hey, STREAK! How ya doin' today? Glad you found your windows. You stayed out of the LQS! Such restraint! And no, we're not going to Santa Barbara for the wedding. Autumn went through 5 yrs of fertility treatment in her last marriage. Took 2 yrs break and now is 45 yrs old. Now she's trying IVF with a new husband and donated eggs. If either she or Antonio were to get Covid, it would stop cold her attempts to have a baby and she would have to start all the meds, waiting, etc over again. Months. So, they decided to elope to S.B. The courthouse there only allows 4 people in for weddings. (weddings are the big thing at this old art deco courthouse). Aut says Antonio's relatives from GA are being kind of stinky about this when they told them NO. Airplanes are notorious for spreading viruses of all kinds. So she said if we told his family no, we have to tell you no, too. We would like to be there and we know the kids actually would like us there, but we don't want to be the family that causes them grief on their wedding day. So we will facetime them afterward. So, short story long, that's why we aren't going. But our hearts will be there.
BECCA - what are your plans for today. I get the feeling you're not much for sitting around relaxing. Me neither. Though sometimes, it's nice to sit out on the deck with a book on a warm afternoon . . . And did I read you were 87* yesterday?? No fair!! We barely scratched 53*.
CAROL - ok, ok, I'll wash a window today just so I don't feel left out. I'm a book person, too. I have hundreds of books, perhaps over a thousand, though only one 6-ft shelf is cookbooks . My home decor is all books, cats, and quilts.
LORI-sounds like your SD's wedding was ideal - the important people, intimate ceremony and a backyard gathering. I hate seeing couples - or their poor parents - spending $20,000 on one day! We have casual friends here that are doing that - putting on a 'destintion wedding' at a winery in eastern WA for about 400 people. Everyone will have to travel and either stay overnight or drive back 200 miles afterward. Thankfully, we aren't invited.
Tonite's supper is still a mystery. Carol's chicken/rice soup sounds good to me right now and I have everything to make it. So, perhaps that will be what's happening in our kitchen today.
How about yours?
