What a beautiful weekend we're having here. Rain is on the way next week, and we need it, so no complaints about rain! No complaints about our new mattress either. The first night was one of those sleepless ones for me. They happen. Don't think it was the mattress. Next night I slept better, and then better. And I'm waking up a bit later. This morning my back was the best yet. So I think this is going to work for us!
My luncheon yesterday was nice and the food was good (turkey & havarti melt, salad). I brought half home for Bill. And my friend sent home one piece of her fish and chips. He was happy!
I also cleaned my sewing room and got my Halloween tablerunner all ready to quilt on Stitch. It's been so long maybe you don't recall that. I'm backing it with fall leaf fabric. I can decorate for fall and when Halloween comes, simply flip it over. Easy peasy.JANA - I think most little kids go through their mac & cheese phase. Mine sure did and they even preferred boxed to homemade. I remember a Far Side cartoon about the son, Mike, making box mac & cheese. It hung on our fridge for years!
BECCA - Prayers go with little Hadlee this week. I'll be gone but my prayers will find the right ears. I have no doubt your little Clara will do it! She sounds like she will go far in life. Your tea towels sound so Becca.
Such a nice idea to have little gifts to offer guests. I've taken a page from your book and guests walk out of here with homemade jam. (as well as one of my precious jars!) As for gas, I asked my resident expert on all things 'blue' (blue being things most men traditionally know about. Tradtional 'girl knowledge', we term "pink".). He said if gas is older than 6 months, you should probably put it into the tank with your next fill up as it needs to be mixed with a large amount of fresh gas. And then refill your can when you can. And we do store our extra gas in plastic 1-gal containers in our shop. (we have two of them), but we rotate it frequently through the tank. and we always leave head room for expansion.Today is grocery shopping and we may come home with supper from the store. If not, there is always poached eggs. Or Cheerios. Or frozen perogis. Or PB&J's. It's good to have choices.
