SUPPER CLUB - Monday, March 11th
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2024 6:31 am
Good morning,
40* here this morning, going to 48* with some showers. But then we're headed into a streak of warmer spring weather. Hooray!!
Yesterday we worked together all day long and got Amara's 20-pg book done. It turned out so super cute! Really, it's just scrapbooking with the computer. We submitted it to Shutterfly and it should be back to us by March 26th at the latest. We had Amara's sent directly to her. I got a copy for Lara, Alec, & Drew as well as for us. We think we'll do this for every long visit we make so she keeps us in her mind. Also, for my sister and dbil for their Christmas gift we think we'll do our trip to Alaska on the ferry in August. .It makes such a nice gift!
Today is going to be all about cleaning. I'm going to do the living/dining room, bathroom, and sewing room today. Then the house will be clean enough for who it's for and I can start playing again! Though, with the weather turning nice by the end of the week, there's a TON of yard work to be done. They don't call it yard play for a reason. Sigh. Does it ever end?
CAROL - Guess yesterday was pizza day for us! You are getting good at your quilting. I should try harder with my freehand or panto designs, but quilting a project isn't much fun for me. I'm all about the piecing. So I usually just do a meander. For special quilts, I have my quilter man but as soon as he spent $3,000 on the equipment, he kind of lost interest so he's not anxious to do my "lesser" quilts. Do not ask me how I feel about this because I will tell you.
TINA - that is a sweet quilt. Love the way you finished it off with the borders. Yes, Amara's book is going directly to her. It will arrive about a week before her birthday. I would have liked to have included it in the birthday box we are sending but I was afraid if I waited for it, it might arrive too late.
BECCA - sounds like the birthday party was fun for everyone! How old are they now? 7? It's hard to keep track of everyone in your family. You will have a nice visit at Denise's. I'm sure you will be eating well!
LORI - I don't like wind either. Maybe if I didn't live under a giant dying tree . . . I wanted to make chicken with pasta, too, but we're having Tex & Annette for supper on Thursday and I was thinking of doing that then. Maybe chicken cacciatore. So I have to come up with something else for tonite,
And I think that something else will be pork chops. I'll brown them and simmer them in a creamy mushroom sauce. With mashed potatoes and salad. I'm in a mood to cook and clean. Don't quite know what's come over me. I should probably lie down.
