Happy Day.
Not even 9 and already it's a happy day. I giggled all day long as your comments came in about things I should[n't] know about you yesterday, and I am not the giggling type of person....potato chips in bras. Ryan loved dinner last night. He told more than once. That makes me happy [and now you're wondering what I made: homemade chicken nuggets, baked potatoes with broccoli and cheese sauce which I googled and made the first recipe that popped up, and, of course, our refrigerator staple of late, peach-rosemary lemonade-we triple it when we make it = sometimes it's the comfort foods, you know?] I changed the bedspread to my favorite summer orange quilt. My favorite room in the morning with the bright sun streaming in. A walk in the yard this morning revealed another broccoli florette, gladiolus blooming up a storm, and the first gardenia blooming! I detected the scent even before I found the white blossom hiding behind the sunflowers. I got everyone off to school with a lunch and appropriate backpack contents. That's bigger than it sounds. I also finished swapping winter clothes with summer clothes in drawers and closets. 5 sets. Yes, you may call me superwoman today. It's been hot for quite a while now, but I knew when Pearl came in from riding her bike last week, her face strawberry red and her hair matted and glistening with sweat, wearing a full length black velvet skirt declaring that she wasn't hot, I knew it was time. I had grits for breakfast. And one more thing for you locals, it's time for another SEWING SOIREE*! Yes, mark your calendars for the 26th of May, and start some project planning. I'm already thinking of nice nosh to nibble for the occasion.
Hope you have a happy day! I'm off to do some recreational sewing [despite what you may think, I do not consider all sewing recreational.]
*Edit: A Sewing Soiree is an evening where you bring your projects to have an evening of relaxed sewing, great company [if I do say so myself], and usually some exciting food. I can help with sewing questions or just come and soak up inspiration from everyone else. See here and here. Email me for details.
I don't considering any sewing recreational.
ReplyDeleteWhat is nosh? I wish I had your energy! Today I am definitely feeling those first trimester woes--nausea and fatigue. I want egg rolls but don't have any and I just want to sleep. Poor me. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was a local and could attend the sewing soiree!!! Although still VERY new at this I do enjoy it!! I love the orange quilt....where did you get it? I too conquered the changing over of clothes from one season to the next this week and felt VERY accomplished by the end of the process (and I only have 2 girls!!)! It feels refreshing to me!! And I WILL be making that lemonade!! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI have to leave one more comment! Can I be part of your family?!!! I just think you girls are the cutest and most creative!!! Maybe sister's via cyber space??!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm newer to your blog. What is your sewing soiree and where is local? Sounds like great fun!
ReplyDeletethank you for your kind comment about my sister, we really appreciate it, those grits again, i might have to import some!
ReplyDeleteSo....where exactly in the (state that you live) do you live? Feel free to email me. :)
ReplyDeleteWe shall be in your state (unless I'm confused) for a bit soon, and...wow, this sounds cryptic. But yes, I wanted to know how close we'd be.
And there I go...off of your friends list and into the stalker/freak pile.
Sigh. :)
I am glad I made you giggle, but I still wonder where that darn chip came from! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I have not visited your blog in a long time...I think the last time I did, it was still a private blog and I noticed you now have 240 (and then some) followers! Add me to the list! I loved your post about 5 weddings. You go girl! I would be happy to offer some violin to the mix, if you would like. You're an inspiration, by the way! The love you have for your girls, your hubby , and your life shine through your posts. You exude happiness and it's very contagious!
ReplyDeleteDiddo the above remark!
