Things are quiet here. Nice, but I keep thinking I should be doing something. UGH-lies are caught up and, until tonite, we've had leftovers to eat up so not even much cooking. So I've been working on Halloween blocks. Bill didn't start quilting Gypsy yesterday. Instead, he suddenly decided he wanted to sell our canoe that we've owned for about 15 years and never used. So he dragged it up from the "back forty", pressure washed it, put it on our local "offer up" site, and had it sold within an hour. It was picked up and gone by 5pm. Easy peasy! Now he's going to do the same with an old utility trailer he's had for decades and not used for 20 years. Poor Gypsy.
VELDA - so nice that your condo will come with all the appliances. It's nice to have all new, though that means that when they start breaking down, they all go out about the same time. I posted a photo of all my Sew-Along blocks together. You asked if I thought about sharing. With whom? Mine are all done in 30's reproduction fabrics.
TINA - Stitch is so cute! When we trained Scottie, we took him out every two hours round the clock to the same place in the yard. Then he got a good puppy treat when he did what he was supposed to. He was trained in 2 weeks. He only made one little oops after that and we know where that was, don't we! But that was his dad's fault for ignoring him, not Scottie's.
JANA - I remember Mike loved baking chocolate chip cookies when he was in school. That was the only kind he made and he got quite good at them! Autumn's Running Start college classes were the same classes offered at the college. They weren't specialized for high school students. She attended high school in the mornings and then drove to Tacoma to the Comm. College in the afternoons. One really neat thing was she got half of her college for free! Let me tell you, that was a HUGE help!
I think I'll make a pizza tonite. And some salad. That's always a crowd pleaser in my house.
it really upsets us to know he's not going to be taken care of, he's such a good puppy. Jazmyne wanted us to keep him during the day but Duncan and Rosie don't like him after 3+ weeks and we've had to keep them downstairs too much. And it would be a lot for Holly to drop him off, then take Jazmyne and get her and the boys to their school too. Adam spends most of his days at the country club golf course, he's such a selfish person. I was telling Frankie we could make a list of Adam on one side and Holly on the other and start writing the selfish things each do on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and Adams would take pages and Holly wouldn't even get anything written on her side. She goes to work, takes care of the kids, does all the uglies, cooks or will get food and take it home if she's exhausted which happens pretty often anymore, take the kids where they need to go..... she's almost never without the kids. She only gets her hair done about once a year even. He spends money like it's going out of style all on himself. He's even paying monthly $140 to belong to the Country Club. I've just never known anyone so selfish in my entire life! 
for Dad and me and Frankie can throw a burger on the grill for himself LOL he doesn't like what I'm making. I'll also make some kind of potatoes to go with, maybe air fryer French fries
