SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, March 3rd
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2024 5:56 am
Good morning,
Today is my LDH#2's birthday. He would be 80 today! Yikes! Hard to picture that young, funny, good looking guy with dark curly hair and dancing eyes as 80 yrs old. Though I'm having a hard time picturing myself at 73, too. Which I'll be later this month. Time marches on. . .
The play last night was so good, and so much fun to see our local Supper Club friends again! One couple is very excited. Both their DD's are pregnant, both due in June, and one of them is expecting identical twins. All the babies are boys. The DD's live on opposite sides of the state in Seattle and Spokane, 300 miles apart, so these grandparents will be stretched pretty thin. But happily so!
Today isn't planned yet. I may fiddle around in my sewing room while Bill works on some of his repair projects in the trailer or we might go visit friend Susie in rehab, or shopping for Amara's birthday. I'll see what Mr. Bill wants to do.
TINA - So I'm guessing Dad didn't come over to partake of the dusting and mopping yesterday.
Nice that Frankie helps. Bill will do anything I ask and sometimes he even offers, but for the most part, I'm the houskeeper and he's not. And I know he prefers it that way. Though, the laundry is right off the family room downstairs and if he happens to be down there watching a movie, and the dryer buzzes, he will fold and put the next load in if I have it already sorted.
BECCA - that sounds like a lot of fun with the boys and girls. When is this event going to happen? And FIVE miles?! You are Iron Woman! Pork chops and applesauce - classic! Frankie's birthday is coming up soon! Are you sending a gift? And how is your baby quilt coming along?
LORI - the same thing happened on my walk last Wed. Just got out on the road and the wind kicked up and it started to rain. And I'd already showered and fixed my hair for an appointment that was happening right after my walk. We (my walking buddy is another Lori from across the road) went about two blocks and turned around. Ugh! Is your BB Shamrock hand stitching or machine? They have such cute patterns. Hope your DH is feeling better today. Yep - making Christmas quilts. Remember, we travel in winter so all my Christmas sewing has to be finished by October and who knows what other projects will pop up between now and then. Plus, I want these two quilts to be to my sisters in CO in time to put them out for the holidays because they are Christmas quilts, not just quilts they are getting for Christmas. I might also make one for Lara. All just throw quilts to toss over a couch.
I've been giving our supper some thought as I type - It's been so cold here I think a hearty soup is in order and I think it's going to be bean. Maybe a white bean soup. Or possibly Southwest Black Bean. I need to go inventory my bean selection and supply of other ingredients. And add a sliced kielbasa to the soup. I'll also make a salad. And toast if Bill wants, but he'll probably decline that.
What's your plan?
