We are 39* here right now, going to 45* with rain holding off until this afternoon. Our weather at the ocean for our camping trip is going to be about 47* with rain off and on. And the sun is predicted to start shining for real the day we leave! lol! Oh well. That's why God made travel sewing machines, right? Today will be the last load of laundry and packing the last items. Also, our friend, Doyle, brought me a jacket to mend, so before my travel machine goes out to the trailer, I'll do that and Bill can deliver it later today.
LORI - I have "done" shelties for the last 45 years, but I also love labs and goldens. I've told Bill for our next dog - and there WILL be another dog when the position is available again - I want a golden. They never stop smiling! And they smile at both ends - I consider wagging tails smiles!
MARY ROSE - I know the excitement of starting a new X-st project. This one sounds like a big undertaking! But oh so purrfect! And it uses 159 colors? Wow! Hope you find a DMC sale! I know you will love doing this project!
JANA - we never noticed any foggy brain from our shots, but then maybe WE wouldn't . . . . .

TINA - exciting to contemplate a new baby! I told you this would happen as soon as you got rid of your baby furniture! lol! My DBIL, Al, was in your area yesterday. He and his crazy buddies were on their way home to Colorado from Yuma (in one day!). They took the Hatch cut-off. Hope the construction will be done soon. We've had HEAVY construction on I-5 for the past 10+ years just where we get on to go either north or south. I hate it!
Supper tonite just might be a chef's salad. I think I'll add black beans to it. Yesterday I made a new appetizer. Half of a baby bell cheese, a slice of turkey pizza pepperoni, and half an olive all wrapped in a 4" square of puff pastry. Used egg wash to seal it, egg washed the top and sprinkled with a bit of salt. Baked 20 min and they were purrfect! Our friends really liked them. But you could do anything with this - sweet or savory.
How's the plan coming at your house?
