SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, Feb 24th

[purrfect-lady]

Good morning,

We've had two springy days! I worked in the yard yesterday afternoon. Today is cooler with maybe a little rain this morning, but I'm hoping to get back out there this afternoon. Our yard is a huge mess! And Bill doesn't believe in doing yard work unless he can use machinery. So I have a lot to do in the coming weeks. I have most of the trailer chores done now and the house is back to normal, except my sewing room has a lot of fabrics that I'm having trouble fitting back into my fabric shelves. So it's crowding me. I want to seriously rearrange my sewing room but that's a project for later in the spring.

BECCA - I'm happy that you had an enjoyable outing, but bummed about your BP. Do you still do your exercise routines or are you laying low? Good news about the baby! I hope all goes well with their little family.

TINA - I hope your legs are better today. We keep a list of all our Tacoma errands on the fridge and try to consolidate them all in one trip. Sometimes it doesn't work, but for most stuff it helps to cut down time in the car. That was something about the elderly lady coming to you for help. What happened? We want to hear the rest of the story.

I think today we're going to have spaghetti and meatballs for supper. I found meatballs in the freezer that arent' getting any younger. I left them there last fall. I think I'll make my sauce early in the day and let the meatballs simmer in it in the crockpot.

What ideas are simmering in your head for your supper?

Good Morning,

Maryz - Our yard has lots of weeds too. The daffodils are blooming here but after all we are a lot farther south than you are. We planted some flower seeds last week and I think I see a couple of them have come out of the ground. Hopefully we will see some flowers.

Becca - Hope you are feeling better. Glad to hear Lincoln went home. His brother and sister must be thrilled to meet him.

Tina - Hope you are feeling better too. I combine my trips too but if I remembered you were trying to get tires on the car the first trip and finally got them the second time. Sometimes it just cannot be helped to make that second trip.

I have really made progress on the scraps however there is more to do. I think I will slow down and do some sewing and quilting some small projects. I am tired of ironing and cutting fabric. I will work at making placemats. Our guild collects them to give to Meals on Wheels. It is great for using a sample block.

I want to make a soup today. I have a soup starter but probably need a few ingredients to finish a soup. I will look and see later.

Good morning all
Mary, did your stash grow while you were gone? We don't usually make 2 trips out of town so close together but the tires were ordered and then came in way faster than expected. My leg is being bothered by my sciatic, last night I was up till 2 with it. 4 hours of sleep was all I could do.
Yard work needs to be done here too, I pretty much turned it over to Frankie since he likes to be outside in the heat and my meds and heat don't play well together. But I still do what I can when I can because he's not as detail orientated as me. I like my outside to be neat and tidy just like my inside.
I called Central Dispatch yesterday about the lady and they sent 2 units out and they took her home. They were there for over 30 minutes with her before they took her. She looked like she really needed more help than what we could've given her.
Carol, that is so nice of you all to do the placemats for meals on wheels and yes you're correct about the 2 trips, 1 wasn't planned especially that close together.
Yesterday was Kevin's birthday and they're coming over for the day and bringing or getting food, I'm not sure which. I'm baking a birthday cake and we bought ice cream for the occasion. I'll be having fun with Matthew and Elijah I think it's going to be a pretty nice day so we may get to go outside some.

Tina, bummer your leg is acting up again. Hope it quiets down so you can get some sleep.

Becca, that is so cute about the twins and the baby.

Carol, that is a great project. I might make some up too. I have a few thousand scraps. What kind of soup will you be making.

Mary, we too have had a few nice days. Today as well. I was out working in the yard the other day enjoying the sunshine.

Dinner will be something on the grill since it's so nice out. Probably burgers. Bill loves burgers.

Have a lovely day.
