SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, May 30
Posted: Tue May 30, 2023 7:12 am
Good morning,
We have having cool weather - 64 and cloudy - this week. But next week, we'll be in Yakima where it's going to be in the 90's. UGH! I swelter in 80's. So I'm soaking up all the cool that I can for now.
Yesterday Al & Tina went to Seattle to visit their son and will be back late today. So while they were gone Bill cleaned and resealed our granite countertops. I mopped and did laundry. I made just one 6" OWL block and then started playing with June lotto blocks. I spent more time choosing fabrics from my small tote of 2-1/2" strips and the frogging all I sewed wrong than I did actually making the blocks. This morning, I"ll finish some more and get them ready to mail. Then maybe two more 6" OWL blocks before I get out the vacuum and dust rag.
TINA - you have a lot of levels of driver licensing in your state. Here - you can get a permit and take driver's ed at 15-1/2 yrs old but you can't take the drivers test until age 16. If you don't take drivers ed, then you can't get a license until you are 18. But watching On Patrol Live, it looks like it doesn't matter much - no one they stop has a license of any kind anyway!
I, too, pray all the droughts are over. What did you sew yesterday?
LORI - You are too funny! Telling Jaz to put down a tarp if she puts bodies in her trunk! But, it's true. You've got to be practical in these matters. No, the 6" OWL blocks aren't hard at all. They work up quickly. And a nice break from doing the big blocks. They are mostly pieced rather than applique. I've done Jan through May, with 2 more 6" May blocks to do today. I'm never in the mood to do bindings. Even doing them in an hour by machine, they are just a chore I have to do to get a project done and off my work table so I can get to the next thing - which is always way more fun. I'm listening to an audio story by Krista Davis and the golden in the story is named Gingersnap. I always think of you and Wrigley when I see golden retrievers.
BECCA - time is growing short for your move! It's going to be a busy week for you and then another busy few weeks getting settled. I pray you love your new place.
JANA - you are making great progress on sorting and rearranging your stash! I think you should take the fabric that came from Sarah that you don't want and ding dong ditch it on her doorstep. Sounds like the kids have The Big Move all planned out. Is Karlie excited?
CAROL - no, I didn't get very much of my list accomplished yesterday. And probably won't make a lot of progress today either. But that's OK. I have no deadlines on anything right now. Just enjoying the process. Sounds like we've been having similar weather the last few days - 60's and cloudy! But warmer weather is on its way!
Last night I made a casserole of the leftovers from our ham dinner the night before. It was delish! I think Bill and I will finish that off for lunch today because there are only 2 servings left. I don't know what time Al & Tina will be home from Seattle, so I'm just planning poached eggs for supper topped with some chili con queso from a jar. That way, if they show up - fine. If they eat earlier with their son - fine. And they know that's the plan so there's no pressure on them to get home for a planned meal.
What sounds tasty to you for tonite?
