We are in Tomball. TX, a little town on the northern outskirts of Houston. We visited with Cindy and Sue at Sue's house last night. You would love Sue's sewing room - it's the upstairs bonus room of her home. It's large enough for her 14' long arm and a huge design wall. A bedroom off the bonus room is her fabric room with a full wall of shelves that house her beautifully organized stash. A big cutting table is in the middle of the room and a work table on the wall opposite the fabric shelves. The bonus room opens out over the living rooom and entry way below with a curved staircase. The top of the stairs opens into the big sewing room and at the top of the stairs is an open landing area and it's purrfect for displaying several of her beautiful quilts. It's an amazing house. Next Monday it will be a year since she lost Kenn but she's doing OK. Her son lives 5 streets away in the same subdivision and he's a blessing to her.
We got back to our trailer just as it was starting to get dark. Fed the fur folk and settled in for the evening when I got a call. One of my nephews in AK committed suicide. His sister called me as they were on their way to tell my brother, Gene. Her other brother was hurrying to meet her there. Gene is a guy that needs space and time to process such bad news and the kids will be with him. I will wait to call him later today. My nephew's name was James Albert, after my other two brothers. He was in his 50's and very newly divorced. So I'm feeling kind of glum today. I wish we this had happened after we were in FL so I could be at least be with my sister.
TINA - I can't stay up that late any more. If they want me to be cheering a new year they need to have midnight more like 9pm. You know, like they do with Midnight Mass now.
Your dinner sounds like you are celebrating St. Pat's day early. BECCA - sorry your cough is lingering. A good idea to stay in our of the cold and wind. And a hot dog for supper? I guess you are subconsiously celebrating summer early and picnic suppers!
CAROL- Did you get your TW all done?
LORI - we've been through Kingman several times, but never stayed there longer than to fuel up. It's kind of out there in sagebrush land. I hope you have a great trip and a wonderful visit with your friend.
I haven't given a thought to our supper. We have about 300 miles to go today to Baton Rouge KOA campground. So after that long ride I want easy. I think it will be the frozen lasagna I've been saving for just such an occasion. It's kind of cold here and the oven will help heat our rig. I'll even toss a salad so we can be eatin' fancy.
What do you fancy for your supper tonite?
