We’ve been to the Farmer’s Market, and shopped for fruits and veggies for the week.
I have to take the tags for my Share a Square crocheted squares to the teacher’s store and get them laminated. While I’m there, I’ll visit the bank, which is in the same mall.
I need to pick up backing for a quilt for the church that Scraps on a Mission is making, and I want to see if I can find a few more fat quarters of Depression era reproduction fabrics for a quilt I’d like to make for myself. That project started out as a “use it up, wear it out” quilt, but I need to add to it a bit, so I don’t think everything will get used up. Oh darn…..I’ll have to make ONE MORE QUILT! *G*
If the storm coming through doesn’t last all day, I may try to quilt another lap quilt for Scraps on a Mission. It’s pin basted and ready to go. If the storm continues, I’ll just pin another top. I don’t want my brand new sewing machine on if there is likely to be a power surge that could kill it.
Other than getting a start on some zucchini bread, the rest of the day will be spent lolling around eating bon bons!
It looks like 9:00 at night outside my window, so I think I’ll close down until the storm passes by. I hope you’re having a great weekend!

Fan Club
I discovered that my husband has a fan club!
This morning before we went to the Farmer’s Market, we stopped at Panera for “breakfast.” It seems that Dear Husband has been stopping at this Panera for more than a year, ordering a pecan braid and a cup of coffee to start his day. He never varies, except in that he isn’t there on Saturdays once sailing season has ended.
So, we are invited to step up to the clerk, and she’s chatting away with him, reminding him that he needs to use up his reward drinks within the next two days, and then she asks if I’m his wife!
It turns out the entire staff adores him, and even the bakers like him. This is the place where the baker personalized a pecan braid, writing Dear Husband’s name in frosting.
I felt as though I was sitting with royalty for breakfast!
It’s amazing how little things make our days so much fun.
Veggies
Dear Husband delayed his trip to the lake long enough to visit the Farmer’s Market with me this morning. I wanted his help in deciding what veggies we would eat this week. We ended up with the standard veggies, nothing exotic. I know that we will be having corn on the cob this Sunday, and that some time in the coming week we will do stuffed green peppers. I’ll make the first loaves of zucchini bread for the freezer. I’ll plan our meals around the rest.
Here’s a look at what I brought home:
Corn, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, red and green bell peppers, melrose peppers, pickle cucumbers, green onions, tomatoes, zucchini, peaches, red raspberries, sunflowers, glads, eucalyptus and apple cider donuts! Oh, and plain cheese curds. I would have had to make several trips to the car with that load.
It was a lovely way to start the day. *S*
