SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, Sept 3rd
Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2022 5:34 am
Good morning,
We have rain! Not a lot, but at least it's wet! I'll take it! Our temps have dropped into the 70's now and will probably stay there until they slip into the 60's. Would love it if they stayed like this through mid Oct (and our next camping trip!).
We had a nice visit with Lee & Lara yesterday and a scrumptious brunch. After they left, we played Mexican Train through the afternoon until 7pm so instead of our tacos, we ended up with open galley, fixing our own plates from breakfast leftovers. This morning Bill and I have blood draws so no coffee for us.
After this past month of entertaining family, BBQ's, big meals, and happy hours, I hate to see what our blood work is going to show. And other than stopping to buy some birdseed on the way home, we have no other plans this weekend. I should get outside and deadhead my shasta daisies and some roses, and also feed the last few rhodies that got missed last month when we ran out of rhodie food. It's hard to get started on any new projects, work on old ones, or even keep up with daily uglies when you have other people with you all day long. But maybe I can at least pull a few coordinating fabrics for my motorcycle quilt.
BECCA - I'm glad that Marty and Estel were able to visit. So nice that they are willing and able to give you some help. You can use a hand and they need to be helpful. Win/win!
LORI - I'm not often on FB but I did catch a cute photo of your boys in the car on the way to the beach? park? Loved the smiles on their faces! Is your Summer Solstice quilt a Bonnie Hunter pattern? I made a Solstice quilt of hers, but changed it to Christmas fabric.
JANA - I'm so glad you were able to find your favorite dress again! I love dresses. I don't wear them much, but I do love them.
TINA - sorry your sewing room is so hot. I think I'd give serious thought to swapping rooms. Your back bedroom on the other side of the hall has to be cooler - or your downstairs. We used to swap rooms occasionally but once we got the LA, everything has to stay the same.
CAROL - another happy day in D-land! Do you take a friend along or just go by yourself? We haven't been there for about 12 years now, but I really liked that "inner tube" ride down the river in CA Adventures. I can't remember what it's called.
Since we never got to our tacos last night, we'll be having them tonite. My sis went to the store and bought most of the fixin's. One of Al's favorite meals. His eyes lit up when I mentioned tacos for supper yesterday. Our suppers with them are dwindling - only 3 more nights before they leave. But we'll see them again in Dec when they join us in TX for a month.
What are you having?

What are you having?
I just need to go to our locally owned store and they're usually not crazy and they usually have all their registers open so not a long wait in line
