Talk of Rain Showers
It is 3:45 and soon the lights will go out in the studio. I came down at one. The sewing on the quilt top is finished for today. Total measurement is 52″ x 76″. I have material and plans to get it to the 60″ x 80″ prescribed size, perhaps another day.
I had a 45 minute break here in the studio while I answered a phone call. It was from my brother-in-law, Orville. Orville calls to reminisce every so often.
Mostly the call was about finances. The city of Stewart is planning street repair in his neck of the woods. Yup, corner lots and lineal footage counts up quick as well as the footage of a rental house he has.
Orville had a hip replacement that got infected and he now knows about hospital costs and nursing home costs when the days in those facilities exceeds what Medicare and insurance will cover.
I know how to commiserate with the best of them.
There is talk of rain sometime before I go to bed.
I have supper started in the oven. I put said dish in the oven at three at 325 degrees for a five supper, give or take a few minutes. Pork today is not like the pork of yester-years. It is a very lean product. I have a pork steak in the oven with a sauce over it, otherwise it will bake dry. When I started the oven, I parked green beans, jellied cranberries and Stovetop stuffing on the kitchen counter. I have heard rattling from the kitchen so it sounds like all of the above was acceptable.
In between sewing sessions, I continue organizing my shelves in the studio. I had ordered collapsible containers from Amazon. They are 12″ x 16″. So far I have collapsed three containers. As I continue to sew quilt tops to donate, I am looking forward to lessening the stash.
With that I take my leave. ♥
