SUPPER CLUB - Monday, June 12th

Post by purrfect-lady » Mon Jun 12, 2023 6:05 am

Good morning,

It's a pretty morning here. The rooster next door slept a little late and I thought I might have to go shake him awake, but now he's up and letting the world know. :D It's going to be warm today - 82*. Then back down to the 60's. I'm hoping to sneak in some yard work later this week.

Yesterday was all about cleaning - house and trailer - plus lots of laundry and rug washing. And I got my July OWL block done just before we left for our friends. Today will be more laundry - towels, blankets, fabric - and make the little July blocks. I'm not sure what else will happen today. Maybe some reading, maybe some cross stitch on Amara's Christmas stocking.

BECCA - You do keep busy! How does laundry work at your new home? Do they do it or is there a laundry room? Or do you have a W/D in your apartment? Your meals do sound tasty. You have a 1-bedroom unit? I did Google the complex and it looks beautiful.

CAROL - Glad we "OWL-ers" were able to inspire you. I want to see your -Spooky project when you get it finished. I love Halloween sewing, which is weird because I don't really pay much attention to the holiday itself. I actually wasn't going to do OWL, but enough others were chatting about it, I checked it out, and then QIAD went and had the entire set of patterns on 40% off sale. I capitulated. It's not my usual kind of project, but I'm having a lot of fun with it and glad I am doing it. And it includes patterns for several additional projects for each month. I think I got my money's worth.

LORI - I don't buy a lot of fabric either except on these semi-annual sales this one shop has. Occasionally a project I'm working on needs something I don't have, but usually, my stash has all I need. I haunt thrift shops for books, though. There are lots of them there, but once in a while I find a real jewel. I saw both your boys had birthdays! Are they 6 now? They grow up so fast, don't they.

It's going to be a really nice day so I think we'll grill a steak to share. And a baked potato and salad.

Mary, the boys are 7. Time flies. Your weather has been warmer than ours. We've been 65-68 for a month or more. We had maybe 3 days over 70. Very strange weather, but I'll enjoy it as long as possible. Better than 90's any day. I think it's the La Nina weather pattern.

Carol, glad you were inspired to get out your Halloween quilt. It reminded me that I have a Halloween quilt that needs quilting.

It's dad's grocery shopping day. Then the boys will go to the groomers for a bath. I need to finish up16 log cabin blocks today. So that's my goal.

We still didn't have the chicken and potatoes, do I'll try again tonight.

Have a lovey day.

I posted a picture in the photo section. I won the fabric and really didn't want it.

Hi y'all!

We are having a make your own pizza bar for dinner tonight. Karlie will help me make the dough in a bit. We just made a Karlie creation for afters. Karlie was watching cooking shows with me on Saturday and one made a ice box cake with oreo cookies. She chimed in that cake would be extra yummy made with mint oreos instead of regular ones. Done! I whipped the cream and she assembled the whole ice box cake. We will add crunchy oreos on top for decoration. I got a bunch of new pizza pans, hence playing with them.

Well, the technical guru still has it. A lightning bolt struck the church yesterday, about 300 feet from my house. The lights went wacky for a brief time, but we never lost power. But, the computers went bonkers. Michael traced every thing and the surge protector gave its all and protected the equipment. Hallelujah! Computers and most of all, my sewing machine are fine!

The car will go in on the 26th for about 4 days. We'll have a rental as I will have littles and the little truck won't fit everyone. The damage total is about $1500, of which I pay 250. Still arguing fault with the insurance.

So that's about it, the thunder heads are building over the mountains to my west, it's almost 2 pm, so they're right on time.

Hugs,
Jana
