JANA - I saw your late post yesterday that Smudge has returned, unscathed, but hungry! JOY!! Even Bill was cheering when I told him. I bet Ethan is over the moon!! Thanks for sharing the news with us!! We lost our Riley for two days once and had given up hope of finding her because she was, after all, about 17 yrs old at the time. Finally I heard a faint meow as I was outside and passing by the trailer. She'd gotten locked in accidentally. Now we keep food, water, and litter in there at all times and it's the first place we look when anyone is missing. (Can't tell you how many times I've found Bill out there, napping!). Glad your co-hort got loose from her homework and you found your fabric! Any more grands plan to make quilts at Grammas?
BECCA - You are sooo busy all the time! And then you go offer to help package bread for your DGD! And come home and clean baseboards and more! Would sure love to have you here! Or maybe not. I'd get exhausted watching you.
CHICKIE - you've been out and about a lot! I enjoy grocery shopping and putting it all away. But a big trip usually takes me hours! Glad your yesterday was a sewing day. You will have that FF top done in a jiffy! You need it for April, right? What are you going to back it with?
TINA - You were rivaling Becca with your cooking, cleaning, yarding! I really need a thread clippings throw away guy, too! But his wages might be a little high for me! lol! I only have white yuck eggs. You reminded me - I want to make cookies today to take camping. Probably choc chip - or maybe peanut butter. Bill just finished up a batch of oatmeal craisin (his personal favorite).
It was tight but I finished my last orphan top yesterday about 4pm. Ta-da!! All my orphans now have homes! Five tops finished! Not one little inch in any of them was cut from yardage, though I did rob my scrap bin a few times.
Today I will be working the to-do list for last day before camping - laundry, vac'g, plants, light timers, pick up mail, cookies, etc. I still need to make my lasagna for the freezer. Bill hitched up the trailer yesterday and found a tail light out - not just a bulb but the entire housing unit. So off he went on a 3-hour tour of all the RV dealers in Tacoma looking for another one. He finally procured the part he needed and came home and fixed it. I SOOO appreciate that my hubby can do almost anything!
I'm sure you've all been following the corona virus outbreak. Most of the cases have been in Seattle area - 50+ miles north of us. But as of yesterday we have a case here in our hospital - 3 miles from our house. The first in our county. At this point that's all I know. We've been told this virus will be like a cold or mild flu for young healthy people. But for the elderly (those over 60), newborns, pregnant moms, or people with underlying health issues, it's like the "flu on steroids" and can be deadly. My take-away was, "Really?? Those over 60 are ELDERLY??"
But I guess in this case, we are. Tonite's supper will be ham, baked sweet potato, and salad. The ham will give us some good leftovers for camping.
How is supper planning coming along at your house?
