SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, March 28
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:21 am
Good morning,
Today is my oldest niece, Lisa's, birthday. She will be 61! "Little kids" should never be 61! lol! I was barely 9 when she was born. Her due date was supposed to be the 23rd, my birthday, and I didn't understand then that babies don't always arrive on their due date. What a disappointment when my birthday came and went and there was no baby! lol!
Yesterday all I did was play in my sewing room. I made good progress fusing my travel trailers for the HSH swap. And I cleaned up a few messes and baked 2 loaves of banana bread. This morning I will work a little more on my blocks, plus maybe make a couple April lotto blocks. Those should go quickly given that I now have squares of every usable size already pre-cut! Then I have a lunch to go to at a friend's house.
JANA - our friends, Bob & Betsy, were married on a Friday the 13th - your birthday - about 53 yrs ago! And then almost 11 yrs ago she got her new lungs, also on a Friday the 13th, but in April. They considered it very lucky, indeed! I think, given Michael's eye appt and the weather forecast for Boise area, you are wise to stay home and send condolances and flowers to the funeral. Stink bugs are a little smaller than a dime, are shaped kind of like a royal crest or shield, with a shell. UGH! Our area had a big infestation last summer. And what we've been having here lately were hibernating leftovers that woke up when we lost our furnace for a week and started having fires in our upstairs fireplace and it got over-warm in the house. We do have bugs that some call potato bugs and they are gray and live under rocks, wood, etc. They roll into a ball when disturbed. But are harmless.
CAROL - you do indeed, have a lucky birthdate! But then, we all do, I guess, because it's the date we got born! lol! Another quilt show! lucky you! I love going to them, checking out the vendor booths, seeing what new ideas I can gather. But I find prices aren't much reduced at the shows I've been to. I actually prefer smaller shows so I'm not so overwhelmed. I've been to Houston twice and it boggled my mind! The first time I never even got to see any of the quilts and only about 1/2 of the vendors.
TINA - yay! You made it to the table! Glad you finally got your mini charms. I didn't realize GB had a postal hack. There are so many ruthless people in the world. What is the name of your quilt pattern so we can Google it? You must be feeling a lot better if you are sewing, gardening, and cooking! Yay!
BECCA - glad you are getting some sunny days. Sunshine is nature's mood elevator! I'll think of CA come July 5th. A year of firsts can be difficult times. Will also be thinking of little Gabriel when he goes for his next dr appt.
IRISH - if you stop by the table today - we have two baby eagles! One hatched 2 days ago and the second last evening. Two tiny balls of white fluff. SOOO cute! From what we learned last year, it will now be about 90 days until they fledge. It's fun to watch them grow.
I was poking around in our freezer this morning and found a bowl of smokey bean soup. I pulled it out and that will be supper tonite. Plus a small salad on the side. I would love biscuits or toast to go with, but it gets to be too much food for us.
Got your menu set yet for tonite?
