SUPPER CLUB - Friday, May 20th
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 6:33 am
Good morning,
Nice weather is rolling our way! At last! Still cooler than usual, but so much better than it's been - a week of 65-70 degrees. Love it! I PLAN to be outside most of the afternoons, even if I'm just sitting in a camp chair, reading a book. I spent 1-1/2 hrs out yesterday and got another little area cleaned, clipped, and raked. Almost done with the yard and I hope we can soon get started on that nature trail through the woods we were discussing last fall. We expect a lot of Boondockers this summer and kids love that kind of thing. At least I did - and still do!
In sewing news, I worked some more in my Irish Chain but find I'm running short of my focus fabric. I posted a picture in PHOTOS of what I'm looking for. I'm having to piece the last ten 2-1/2" squares and even then, if I can't find more fabric, I'll have to make the quilt shorter than I wanted. Which wouldn't be the end of the world but I was hoping not to have to do that. Today, I'll do what I can in the sewing room and then I'm off outside.
JANA - a third Costco?? How far away from you is the closest one? Ours is only 3 miles. And it's off the highway in a wooded setting. Unusual. They are usually visible from freeways. There is also one in Tacoma - 15 mi. east, and one in Silverdale, north of Bremerton - 30 miles. But a much nicer drive. You have to watch those Costco carts, though. They have that big hole in the top where banned items can jump in, unnoticed!! A 3:15am package delivery?? I had no idea they delivered that late. I always thought the drivers filled their trucks and delivered until they were done. I guess your guy had a BIG truck!
TINA - my friend, Annette, sells Young Living essential oils. I've never heard that you shouldn't apply them directly to the skin, but except for just a single small drop to a small painful wound, you would dilute it with another oil, like Vit E oil, in your palm. Then apply it where ever you wanted. There are all kinds of oils meant for various things. One they have is called "Peace and Calming" and we used to use it - just a teensy bit - on Scottie to calm him down when traveling. He is not an easy rider. thank you for posting my fabric on FB.
CAROL - glad you liked the thread painting class. I've seen pictures of it in magazines. Do you think it's a new hobby you might take up?
It's going to be grilling weather here for the next week. I think we'll do Yankee dip sandwiches tonite and either salad or fries. We never use all the Au Jus sauce, so I froze the leftovers last time in an ice cube tray. So I'll take out what we need and save the rest for next time.
What's happening on your plate tonite?
