The next door roosters are in fine fettle this morning! I love that they 'sing' to us all day long. Makes me think I'm still living out in the country! When we're in Texas and I get homesick, I pull up our security cameras and turn on the audio just to listen to the roosters.
Yesterday we took my sis and dbil on a short drive around to see our parents' farm, her old 2-room school, and just the countryside in general. Then we dropped all the Home Sweet Home blocks off at the post office, picked up a pizza, and came home to a relaxing evening of TV. No sewing happened yesterday. Not sure what today holds for us.
TINA - So we both had pizza last night and cheese steak sandwiches the night before. What are we having tonite?
Glad Dad is holding his own.BECCA - moving is a huge job, but I'm going to guess you'll have a lot of help. I would love to be one of those helpers! When you are in, you need to give us your new address. It's nice to be able to use special things for special babies. My grandmother used to do basket weaving and we have a bassinette in our family that she made amost 100 years ago. All 6 of us kids slept in it and many of my parents' 20 grand and great-grand children, too. But it was too big and too far to take it to Autumn to use for just a few months. (my neice has it now) We also have a wooden rocking horse that Autumn's great uncle made over 50 years ago so we are going to repaint it and take it down to her this winter. Bill already got that down out of the attic! lol!
JANA - I think we're all excited for Dan & Kari's new house! Did they tell Karlie yet? And you will have your sewing room back! You might miss Miss Kitty . . . Good news about your recipes yesterday. I'm with you - graham cracker crusts are OK (homemade much better) but I think I prefer a pastry crust. Or if one were trying to cut carbs, your dessert sounds like it would be fine with no crust. And happy birthday and congratulations to Kate!! She is a special young lady!
LORI - I find lots of books at thrift stores - cookbooks, mysteries, quilting books (I got 4 of those last trip out!), and now I'm gathering up Dr. Suess and Little Golden Books for You Know Who. I am a bookaholic. I got a brass lamp w/shade last month for $14. Some outings are diamonds, some are stone. But they are always fun.
Tonite, I'm going to make a 7-layer Mexican dip with tortilla chips for our dinner. And a salad using my sister's veggies. We are out so we're working out of her fridge now. (It's great when guests bring their own refrigerator!).
What's the supper plan at your house?
