For the first time in about a week we are going to have a hot and humid day, so a lazy Sunday for me. Yesterday and overnight we had an inch of rain, there was a warnings and watches out for damaging thunderstorms and lots of rain. We only had the rain and some thunder last night. Will not have to water the garden or the tomatoes today.
Laundry was done yesterday and I also tidied my sewing room, I have a tendency to take out fabric from my cabinet and put it back, not in the place it was, so every once in awhile a good tidy is needed. I am still sewing the binding on the guild's challenge project, it will be finished today, then I am going to make some bowl cosies, they are the best thing since sliced bread. Keeps the hands from being burnt when passing a hot bowl of food from one place to another.
We are going away for the upcoming weekend, so should haul the small suitcase out, and decide what clothes etc to take. It has been a long time since we needed to pack a suitcase. The last time was when we were on a trip to Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. It was such a great trip. Since we have been together, we have been on five trips together. Three that we planned ourselves, and two from a company that caters to seniors. You need to be 55 years or older to be able to go on the vacations they offer. Before meeting Hubby I took two trips with this company, one to South Africa and the second to Ireland. We received their tour book last week in the mail, however, not sure travelling is on the agenda for some of the tours they are offering later this year Just to be on the safe side, we will likely wait until next year and possibly arrange our own vacation. Only time will tell.
Dinner last night was going to be spaghetti with a salad, however, what I thought was the sauce, was not. So, I cooked the meat and it is now in the fridge for tonight, once I go an get the sauce. I do not make my own. So last night we had pizza and a salad.
What ever you are doing today, having fun or just relaxing ......enjoy.
Where are you going next weekend? How wonderful to be able to get away. Isn't it grand not to have to worry about watering? We had a thunderstorm too. ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe are travelling by car to Pembroke Ontario, which is on the border of Quebec.
DeleteIt is over 500 Km's and we will be on the road for most of the day Friday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.
How nice that you'll be getting away next weekend! Wherever you're going I hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI am sure we will have a great time, we always do with this group of fantastic people.
DeleteAll of them were strangers when they met, travelled halfway around the world and back with each other and have been friends for the past 22 years.
It is the only group of adoptive parents that have lasted this long in keeping in touch, so they are special people.
They come from all walks of life, teachers, governments office workers, a potato chip delivery person, bank teller, a stay at home husband and my daughter and SIL a PSW and a lumber distributor supervisor. Some families are very well off financially, others not so much. One thing in common, their children are all adopted from China.
Their is only one person who has dropped out of the reunions.
