Glub, Glub
Three plus inches of rain in these last 24 hours.
I ran away from home this noon to meet with my fellow stitchers in Mankato. As I drove east, the amount of water . . . everywhere was humbling. Earlier this morning as the thunderstorm kept dumping water, I watched the flooding of our patios. I kept my fingers crossed in regard to the patio porch. It looked as if it had been close. The water did recede once the rains quit.
Back to the stitchers. Today was the first time a new location was targeted. NaKato is a sportsmen’s bar and grill. The booth and small table in its far corner indicated they do not cater to a group of chatty women. The menu was extensive but also on the pricey side. I enjoyed a portion that was served on my platter of chicken strips and tots. I took a box home with me. I did ask if I could have a child’s portion and was told no. My choice of seating was a wooden chair pulled up to the table. I had a good time catching up. I excused myself at 1:30 as the teeny tiny voice was telling me the back and hips had had enough. I know from gatherings of old, the group might continue till three. I wished them all a great afternoon and I would see them in June. It felt good to be in the seat of my car which is very comfortable.
I got home a bit after 2:15. Dennis was doing the tidy, tidy in the garage porch. That is when he expressed how happy he was that the carpet had remained dry.
According to KEYC television, we may be receiving more rain. Hunky Dory!
We are having a repeat of the oven meal of last night’s supper. Dennis really enjoyed the shredded cheese I had added. My box of chicken strips most likely will be my tomorrow’s breakfast. I have no problems with that.
The trip up north yesterday, reiterated for me, how happy I am for the Fairfax team. It is easy to do a stop and chat as Fairfax is a 46 mile trip. Doing a stop and chat to Eden Prairie is quite another story, but text messages seem to be working out fine.
Catch ya later.
