Our weather is slowly improving. We'll be about 70* today, going to upper 80's by the weekend, then backing slowly down again. I'm really hoping for warm weather for my sister's visit so we can enjoy our deck, have campfires, picnic suppers, etc. I love outside.
Yesterday was a tiny bit of sewing in the early morning - about 30 min. Then walk, shower, Costco, grocery, Pharmacy, UPS store, and Ace Hardware. Then home to bake 3 kinds of cookies. The nutty chocolate caramel bars, snickerdoodles, and Mexican Tea Cakes. I didn't sit down until 5pm last evening. I was wiped out. Today, is pack the trailer fridge and clean the house fridge. Nothing else productive. I might make a 2-mile run to Michael's looking for a double 4x6" frame. And maybe I'll sew. Or read. Or work on a jigsaw puzzle. My sister gave me a difficult 1,000 piece puzzle for Christmas. It's out on the table and I'll never get it finished before she gets here next week, so the joke's on her. She'll end up having to work on it!
I love being the little sister!BECCA - you really put on a lot of miles! I used to walk that far, but nowadays, I'm down to 1-1/2 to 2 miles. We have walking trails and neighborhoods to walk through. This celebration of life is a very casual, wear jeans or shorts, affair at Betsy's best friend's house. (I'll be wearing a black skort and a nice black and white tee shirt, if you want to know). All finger food, we're told and I expect outdoors. It's hard to get exact info out of Bob, so we're going prepared to contribute. I figure cookies don't need refrigeration or preparation since we'll be in our trailer, and if they don't want them, they can go back to the freezer.
LORI - sorry about your dad's clothes washer breaking down. Sounds like your DB needs some laundry lessons. There was no fixing it? We have a friend who used to be a repairman and he said all appliances are now designed to have a life expectancy of only 5-8 years. Our Maytags are 30 years old. Our friend advised us to keep them as long as possible. So far, so good.
JANA - I hope Kari's interview went well. It will be nice for her to get this new job. Does she have any idea of pay? More? Less? About the same? Will she work from home or office if she gets it? Glad the dishwasher(s) are a hit!
CAROL - What a nice day you had! Sounds very relaxing. How is your kitty?
Our supper tonite is going to be mac and cheese and salad.
