Today is Bill's birthday. He already bought his birthday gift(s) - a battery monitor for the trailer and a gizmo that should enhance our internet here at home. So my shopping is done! But I did get him a book because when we travel he does a lot of reading. Friends, Gus & Claudia, are coming over tonite and we're going to put steaks on the grill. Claudia's birthday is tomorrow so we often celebrate together.
Yesterday, after an appointment and some errands, then I spent a few hours in my sewing room and finished up a quilt top made entirely of scraps that a sane person would have tossed. I need to start getting backs together now and start quilting. I left several tops to be quilted when we left for AK. Most will go to our Police Department. I will do most of them myself with a quick freehand meander.
IRISH - happy heavenly birthday to your DBIL. He sounds like a nice guy and fun to be around. Like your Jim. You certainly have Ruby trained! And Baby Girl has YOU trained! lol! You know, scrubbing the porch doesn't sound like a very good substitute for lunch with the gals. Maybe you could have found something just a tiny bit more fun to do . .perhaps cleaning the oven? Hope your friend is better soon.
TINA - how did your leg treatment go? I've read about those treatments - I hope they are helping. I have no idea how involved mom bunnies are with their babies. But there were 11 and we have bunnies overrunning our yard. The 8 bigger ones were already scampering through the grass even though they were only about 3" long so they may do OK. Not so sure about the 3 tinier ones. Crossed my fingers and put them in Mother Nature's hands. Enjoy the reunion this weekend! If I know you (and I do!) you'll be cooking anyway so you can take dishes to share.
BECKY - Hi! Nice to see you! Our flowerbeds are overrun with weeds, too. But Bill has no input about them. They are ALL on me. And I do less and less with them as the years roll on. Some, I've let go back to Nature. If Nature wants them weeded, she can do it herself! Sounds like your life is as busy as ever!
BECCA - you are too hot for me back there in the east! I think usually bunnies do make a nice nest for the babies, but this bunny just dropped them in the middle of the grass. And what was interesting, it looked like two different batches. And where was mama?? We didn't see her around at all.
SUE - hi! Bill's hand is much better, thanks. Ready for camping? Tex & Annette are there (Site #37, I think) until tomorrow. You will just miss them. But if you happen to go a day early, they are an Arctic Fox with a white Ford. They are the ones that got Bill & me together almost 30 years ago.
JANA - KFC sounds good. So does a free car wash! Glad your vertigo is improving. I've had that about 3 times over several years. My doc prescribes Meclazine. It's an OTC drug often used for motion sickness. Mostly it puts me to sleep but then I'm not trying to walk down the hall and run into the walls or falling down the stairs!
IZZY - I think once we're all used to it, the site will be fine. But the learning curve seems steep at first. And we're happy to have you at the table! But just know, RULE # 1 OF SUPPER CLUB IS you need to check your seafood at the door! Here we eat "Mac & Cheese". If I have to read about CATFOOD being served, I will gag!
RULE #2 IS REFER TO RULE #1!CAROL - thanks for the advice on the font size. You can see, I took it! And for that, I'll let you skate by with your forbidden menu!
Tonite, besides steaks, we will be having baked potatoes, salad, cornbread, and for dessert, Bill requested apple pie and ice cream. So I'll be doing some baking this morning. I'm sure there will be a little wine somewhere along the evening, too.
What's your supper story?
