Another day, another dollar. Oh wait - we're retired. There are no more dollars!
Oh well. Yesterday was mostly sewing. I have all the paper piecing part of my Alaska quilt done (which is about 1/3 of the quilt) so today I will be getting my back-up machine out of the trailer and my good machine ready to go to the spa tomorrow morning. Bill said he will drop it off on his way through Tacoma to Auburn on an errand of his own. I will do some more sewing today, and some craft supply sorting. Taking some things to Autumn that I no longer use. Her library has a lot of craft sessions for kids and she can use most of it. And I will get a half-empty cabinet! Win/win! I also got a couple of photos of my two Halloween quilts posted in the Halloween swap thread if you want to see them. We cancelled our next camping rezzie (Oct 18-22). Just too much to do around here before we leave for Texas in 6 weeks, so we should be able to see the boys early next week to give them their quilts.
BECCA - I remember you getting attacked by a dog once on your walk. That happened to Scottie and me, too, while walking one of the loops in a campground in Texas about 5 yrs ago. People let their two dogs - a golden lab an a german shepherd - run loose. They suddenly ran at us and attacked both Scottie and me. I was trying to beat them off with the leash handle. Finally the people came out and called off their dog, but wouldn't come near me. They did pay for emergency vet for Scott, though. We reported it to the park ranger but he didn't care. We never walked that loop again for the next month we were there for fear of those dogs. You are wise to be careful.
VELDA - Glad you found all you needed for your project. Are you done with the diapers already? Or was this the receiving blankets? Bill doesn't like broccoli either but he will eat it with cheese sauce over it.
TINA - I hope Matthew likes his first overnight with you. We made many trips back to my parents late at night to pick up one kid or the other that thought it would be fun in the light of day. But thing are different in a dark unfamiliar room. My parents house was kind of spooky.
JANA - I hope today turns the corner for Michael! He has really had a rough go of this virus. Are you able to get to your Batt cave at all? What's your current project? Are you doing much Christmas sewing?
CAROL - that restaurant sounds kind of delicious! I always mean to be good in a restaurant but when I get there and read all the wonderful offerings, I usually end up with something yummy but bad for me!
Last night's pork roast was great! We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans. Tonite's supper will be a reheated re-run.
What's running through your mind to serve?
We really love her. She has a very ill father with Agent Orange as results of Vietnam and won't move to my son's house since she wants to stay close to the family for his needs. Her home is in Kenosha, WI, about 2 1/2 hr drive. They get together on most weekends.
of coffee.
