SUPPER CLUB - Wednesday, February 1st
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2023 7:49 am
Good morning,
33* here, going to 48*. Not bad for February. And certainly not as bad as much of the rest of the nation!
We came home two weeks early from Texas. It was just time. And by doing that we've learned over the past few days that we dodged soaking rains, wind storms, tornado watches, a terrible ice storm, and a wreck on I-10 in west Texas that stalled traffic for 12 hours. Yesterday two RV parks we were going to stay at called one minute apart just to make sure we were OK and not caught in any of these disasters. And all happened right when we would have been in those locations had we stayed to our original plan. Thank you, Lord!! We like to keep our angels on alert at all times!
Yesterday turned into an unplanned house cleaning day. I also got two quilt tops ready for quilting and got their backs pieced, too. This morning I have a chiro appt and this afternoon we're going to Costco. I plan to get a few Feb lotto blocks sewn during odd moments here and there.
LORI - sorry you got Covid. I was worried you might be sick. I was surprised when I, too, got it in December. But they say this newest variant is 40 times more contagious than previous variants. Glad to hear you are doing better now. And sounds like you made good use of your "down time", sorting out your quilty stuff.
VELDA - your quilt plan sounds like a good one - sort of an adult I Spy quilt! And the lotto blocks would be great for that. Do you plan to limit it to golf? I might have a few golf scraps. I will check and get back to you.
JANA- I hate being disorganized, too. Organization is my one big skill. Though my older sis puts me to shame. When she visits, I know when she's in my sewing room, she's mentally reorganizing everything! lol! Hope your cold spell is easing its grip on you. We had our own snowstorm yesterday. About 12 teeny tiny flakes drifted lazily down from the sky. If I hadn't been going between house and trailer right then, I'd have missed the whole "blizzard"!
CAROL - dang it! Yes, I totally forgot the cheese again until I just this minute read your post. Oh well. I wonder what I'd do if I made cheese soup! Your photo is gorgeous! I've read a few novels with action set on Catalina Island. Is this the same island? Accessible only by boat, but people do live there?
Well, I still haven't figured out supper tonite. Maybe we'll have the Trader Joe's orange chicken so we can compare it to Costco's. We are going to Costco this afternoon so we might come home with a different idea, but if not - Orange Chix it is! As recommended by Lori.
What's happening on your plate tonite?
