SUPPER CLUB - Friday, June 17th
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2022 7:04 am
Good morning!
I got most of my Seminole borders done yesterday. I think today will see my Irish Chain DONE! Yay! Then to decide how to quilt it. This quilt has turned into a monster. It's huge, but my sister has a king bed and that's my intent for the quilt - her bed. I will post a photo when it's complete. After this, my next project I think, will be to put together my May Lotto winning blocks. I also want to make a couple of tote bags for my sisters. Maybe I should make one for my brother, too, though perhaps not with my purple kitten fabric. He has to do his grocery shopping and I imagine Alaska has banned plastic bags like the rest of the country. I'll think about that. Gene isn't too fancy. His idea of packing for a week's visit to the Lower 48 is to put a change of clothes and his toothbrush in a paper bag and carry on the plane.
We've caught a coyote on our security cameras coming through the same place in our yard the last two nights. I think he has a regular route - probably because of the buffet Vicki puts out every day. Grrr..... I know when we take Scottie out every morning, he sometimes goes crazy along that coyote's path. And Scott is ALWAYS on a leash so he doesn't go avail himself of those buffet offerings. We've almost lost him twice to poisoning from eating spoiled foods tossed out next door.
My walking buddy neighbor from across the road lost her sweet dog yesterday. Duchess has been limping and really slowing down a lot lately but a big lump appeared on her shoulder this week. Lori took her to the vet yesterday and Duchess had advanced bone cancer. She was in a LOT of pain and unable to even walk outside to potty. So she crossed that rainbow bridge. Going to be a sad walk this morning. We walk every morning as soon as I finish typing out Supper Club. I'm going to take Lori a bouquet of peonies from my yard this morning.
IRISH - I've been watching your weather - mostly because of "our" eagles. What a family! And yes, we'll be watching the show again next year. We've got the best seat in the house! You made your yesterday morning sound idyllic! I love deer. We don't get them in our yard much. We have Scottie and Scottie takes care of business. Did you win anything at Bingo? How far away does Kevin live from you? You make it sound like he's pretty close by. Have you heard anything from Terry? Is he settling in in TN? And how about Steven and Nick?
JANA - I really like your Main Street bench pillow pattern. Kimberbell has some unique things. Will you have it all done in time for July festivities? I'm sure it will delight Karlie when she comes to town! I've made those ham sliders - they are yummilicious.
CAROL - isn't it amazing how much cleaning you can do in a kitchen that is already clean? My shelves and cabinets all stay fairly well organized, but I do need to reline some of them. One of these days . . . .
TINA - I'm with you - every place is hiring. You can't even take a short walk without stumbling over all the Help Wanted signs. Where did all the workers go? And how are people living?? Anyone could go out looking and come home an hour later employed if they wanted to work. I hope you get some rain soon, but my weather ap doesn't show much for you. Sorry. But looks like your temps might cool off 10 or 15 degrees next week . . . As for the eagles - check them out on the Pittsburgh Hays Eagle Cam on You Tube. Though now, mostly what you see is the empty nest. But the eagles are close by and come back to the nest to feed and rest.
LORI - you're so right - retirement is a full time job! Unless it's at the sewing machine, I don't sit down all day long. I don't know how I ever fit a real job into my life! I think we might have been close to Lake Arrowhead when we camped near Big Bear. It was a long time ago - late 90's - so my memory is sketchy.
I am in a quandry about supper tonite. I have a kielbasa. We might slice that and fry it up with potatoes and onion. And salad or eggs . . . Or maybe baked beans and kielbasa? I expect I'll figure out something by then . . . . I hope.
Here's hoping you've figured out your supper by tonite.
