My Social life
Nothing had been planned on Stauffer Avenue for a cold Thursday. Changes were abound when I received a text from nephew Brett complete with a photo.
Brett had a king sized quilt top put together and nothing left for the three borders to finish the top. It warranted a trip to Brett’s house. I went. I saw. I came home to seek and search in my stashes. I am thrilled to share from my many pieces of inherited fabrics. Who knows? Sometime in the future I might very well enjoy purchasing new fabrics for a project.
Brett had purchased a kit online. The fabrics included Grandma-type fabrics. Some flowers and some prints that looked like the dress shirt prints from my grandpa’s era. I returned to Brett’s sewing room in his basement with options. The options scored . . . big time. I left him to enjoy this project. Mission completed.
I was dressed, the car was warmed up, so I stopped at June’s home at the east end of Stauffer. We had not caught up since before Christmas. That took me to 12:30. When I got home Dennis had just finished a bottle of Boost after a great forenoon nap and he was doing up some dishes. Sweet!
Dennis may have had ulterior motives. The RFD television channel was not coming in. We got the magic number off of the Mediacom box and I was on hold with Mediacom until an oriental tech support person could help. I do enunciate very clearly to get to the heart of the problem. After an hour . . . RFD was ready to be enjoyed in the patio porch lulling Dennis into a nap via his rocking chair. I do like keeping an eye on him through the bathroom window that is 20′ from the patio porch.
My quest was to make soup via Shoreland Lunch soup mix. It is really good and quick. I had cubed leftover chicken in the freezer.
The phone put the soup mix on hold as Aunt Janet from Brownton called. She hasn’t been out and about much due to covid. Chatting was needed. When I closed down the phone we caught up to the tune of 57 minutes.
I am back on the trail of getting the soup mix reangled. It is down to the last step of simmering and it smells wonderful.
I have had quite the social day plus helping out the ole cowboy to get his RFD channel up and running. There have been a few spits of moisture on the windows. Nothing serious. It is on to a Friday tomorrow. The time does go on with or without us. I choose to participate. It is far better than the option. Take care.
