etienettebluetSaturday I put a couple packages of beef in the crock pot with peanut sauce and coconut milk. Served up with rice and steamed baby carrots this is one of our favorite entrees and gives us plenty of leftovers. Good eating for several meals. Back to sewing, I finished the red linen tunic; now I'll be able to use the mustard caftan again... and the cool shiny-trimmed cap. Yay!!!
I started to plan on staying up to mow but around four it occured to me that mowing early Sunday morning might not make the neighbors happy so I headed off to bed.
Sunday I looked at Leofwyna's paint chips and picked the best one; turns out that's the same one she preferred so that was an easy decision. So when the furniture is out, before the flooring goes in, we'll be stripping wallpaper and painting everything through livingroom, diningroom and kitchen a nice light gold which will be good with the tapestry upholstered couches. Leofwyna had plans to go to Menards to buy interior doors (first I heard about changing the doors!!!). She had arranged to use Mike's pickup to transport her purchases and Mike decided to some along to 'schlep' for us. Now she's thinking about doorknobs... one thing keeps leading to another.
We invited Mike and Michelle to join us for supper and we all went to Golden Corral since we were dressed really casually and didn't want to take time to spruce up. Back at home I settled in to sew up the second of Volkmar's gambesons and have it nearly finished... just have to finish the armholes with the shoulder flanges. All the padding makes this a difficult process. Since I'd napped so much through the afternoon I decided to stay up and mow Monday morning.
I slept real good; didn't wake until four pm Monday. Now that's really going to take some turning back around... and fast... for Tuesday's trip to Grand Island.
