Busy Long Weekend

When I’m quiet,  you know I’m busy! When Vince retires, I don’t know how I’ll ever get anything done. It isn’t his fault . . it’s just that the routine is busted when he’s home. We stay up way too late, then Rita wakes up around 5, which means I’ve had barely 4 hours sleep so either I take a nap or sit around like a zombie all day. I’m glad Vince is going back to work tomorrow but I know that once he retires, we’ll establish a new routine . . I hope!

Neither of us left the house since Tuesday. I love that!

Turkey Bone Soup

Turkey Bone Soup

I’ve done a whole lot of cooking. Besides Thanksgiving, I made Turkey Bone Soup, which is the best part of Thanksgiving, besides the Watergate Salad.

Dinner Last Night

Dinner Last Night

Yesterday I made rib roast, Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes in the pressure cooker, lima beans and coleslaw that I canned back in September. The coleslaw is probably the most surprising thing I’ve ever canned. I never would have thought it would have been so good and stayed so crunchy. And, because a reader mentioned popovers, I had to make popovers.

There’s been far too little knitting, sewing or spinning but everything changes tomorrow .. Vince goes back to work!  🙂

    You can bet I am looking forward to Monday. Plan to put on a pot of stew early so meals won’t be a big deal. Had hoped to make a mini quilt today, but Paddington needed someone who would talk and play with him. Think I will leave home if/when my husband retires.

    Ahhhhh, popovers!! Were they good? I know they were. Do you think the instant pot will be on sale on cyber Monday? I missed it the last time.

    We had a terrific holiday. Cooked our 17 lber onTuesday with al the trimmings. Half is now in the freezer for later or the soup pot. Cooked all the carcass down for a good broth which is also now frozen. Went to our DIL’s parents vacation home heer for dinner on Thursday – 23 of us. Kids, in laws, etc…Wonderful time. I cooked a ham, made cranberries, dressing, and 3 appetizers. The food was totally yummy. Others made pies, green beans with bacon and mushrooms, salad, a jello salad that Laura loves. Way too much food. On Friday we drove out to Ocotillo Wells and rode Todd’s RAZR, Quads and motorcycles and ate leftovers for lunch. What a great day.

    Today, I made a grocery store run. We put up our outside lights and wreath. I sewed the binding on a baby quilt and will finish the final part of that and then hand sew it down. Cooked dinner and ready to go start hand stitching binding down. Still have 3 more quilts to cut and piece, then quilt.

    So glad I love fabric!
