Well, yesterday was the longest day of the year and now winter's on it's way! Are you ready?
Yesterday I fiddled around in my play room for an hour and then went outside to get some more yard work done. One more short afternoon will do it for this round. But that won't happen today. I have chiropractor this morning, home for 1/2 hour, and then I'm leaving to pick up two friends, Esther and Norie, for an early lunch in Tacoma. It's to celebrate Norie's 93rd birthday which was a couple days ago. She lost her husband of 72 years about 3 weeks ago and is having a hard time of it. She needs a little pampering. And her daughters have also 'encouraged' her to give up driving now so she's struggling with that, too. She's quite a capable lady, but losing her Eddie (and then her Caddie) has really taken the wind out of her sails.
TINA - I noticed yesterday, for a time, we had the same outdoor temp, according to my phone's weather ap. I call that good news for both of us! Did you get your free pizza?
VELDA - HH is Harvest Hosts. It's exactly the same as Boondockers, but camping at wineries, ranches, farms, bulb farms, etc. You may or may not get power/water. But for a night or two of parking you aren't required but are strongly encouraged to purchase a bottle of wine, a bag of bulbs, flowers, cheese, or whatever. We have been in every state in the union and most of the Canadian provinces. But there's always new things to see. We are on our third "sticky USA map" on the side of our trailer. But so far we haven't been further east than OK, CO, WY, MT with this map or this fiver. We have more traveling to do! We want to fill that map. Hoping next year will be OUR year.
LORI - a facial and a massage. Aaahhh..... Sweet! No, we were going to drive to Alaska. Then fuel prices soared, so we were going to fly. When we talked to my brother, Gene, about his three sisters and Bill coming to visit (he loves Bill), he decided it would be better if he flew down here instead. So everyone is gathering at our house the last half of August. One sis and hubby are bringing their RV, and the other sis and Gene are flying, coordinating their flights to land approx the same time so both can be fetched from the airport in one trip. Going to be busy times! I can't wait!
Well, our leftover spaghetti turned into quite a big deal last night. At last moment we invited our friends, Tex & Annette, to join us for campfire, happy hour, and spaghetti. So I added more meatballs to the sauce, along with another can of tomatoes, a splash of red wine, and extra seasoning. Then we decided to include our boondockers, the young couple and the retired lady. So we had quite the crowd around the campfire and the spaghetti pot! And now we're left with the same amount of sauce and meatballs I started with!

So back to supper - something light since I'll be coming from a heavy lunch - grilled cheese or salad or minestrone soup. Or a combo.
What's tempting your palate tonite?
