Hello to everyone.
Today would have been DeeClutter's birthday. Her input here was always so important, and she set such a positive tone.
WonderBoy stayed the whole evening until his family got home, later than eleven. He certainly didn't have to. But I think he got his alone-time out during the rest of the day. And that way he got 2nds of lasagna and big salad before I put the leftovers away, lol.
This morning at 8 the fellow who will do some work around here for us arrived and looked at plan to paint the little storage building, potential resurfacing of our porches, and the chimney's problems. HRH has been waiting on him for months.
The quilt package had arrived yesterday mid-day. Turned out it had had a second label created (I don't think UPS will continue to accept a label made too long previously) but nobody thought to tell me, so I was still "tracking" the wrong number.
I had no bandwidth for opening it yesterday or this a.m. until the house quietened. And I realized it was sort of "Schrödinger's quilt", holding either satisfaction or hopelessly-too-late dissatisfaction inside. There was a little of both, but with some philosophical thinking I can put it into the satisfied column and move on. I'll be chatting about that and next steps in A, C and Needlework thread.
Dd44 called to remind us of the next event in this busy time - Dstepson is hosting a cookout tomorrow to celebrate DangerBoy's graduation. I mentally went through what's in my freezer and fridge and know what I'm bringing. I'll bring veggie-chicken-patties which I'll already have baked in our oven so their coating is nice and crispy, and coleslaw.
LadyM, the zero-turns we have had have worried me, too. And ds drives his so fast when he mows here now - as you watch it, you can "see" so many possibilities of something going wrong. Cameras are so ordinary now - not something families think twice about, it seems.
