Busy Morning

BreakCass - 1

I got up early this morning because I had planned to make a breakfast casserole for our coffee after church today. Strike that: What I meant to say was I planned to get up early this morning, even thought I did. So I was chugging along in the kitchen, cooking and washing dishes. At one point, I decided I'd better check my recipe (which is online) to see that I hadn't forgotten anything for my casserole, which I was about to slide into the oven.

According to my computer, I was much too late to worry about church at this point. The time at the top of my screen showed that I had 15 minutes to bake my dish, get ready, and get to church. That can't be right, I thought. So I checked the clock beside my bed and the one in the kitchen which told me I had plenty of time to get to church. So I checked the computer again, thinking I had just seen it wrong. But, no, It was much too late to finish my baking and get to church.

I realized what had happened: A couple of nights ago, we had a fierce storm and a power outage that lasted most of the night. When I reset my clocks, I obviously reset them to the wrong time. 

But the casserole is not going to waste. Daughter Andy came over and took some home with her. I ate a chunk for brunch. And I'm sure Jesse will have some at some point. I'll probably have some more for supper tonight. It's quite tasty. It's made with sausage, eggs, cheese (both cheddar and Monterey Jack) butter, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and some spices.

Oh, dear! What a bothersome annoyance to have the clock set wrong but am glad the casserole didn't go to waste!

A few days ago my bedside clock stopped at about 2am and when I awoke, it was daytime but the clock said 2:00 and that was startling. I took the clock downstairs but had breakfast before getting a new battery and, lo and behold, it had started running again so I sent to for the right time and back it went to the bedside table.

I finally took all the ornaments off of the Christmas tree and not I have to put them in their boxes. Want to come help?!

Hugs!

Over the years I’ve enjoyed your blog - especially the list of books & your reviews. When I saw the title “Bitter Blood”, I had to write. I read the book several years ago & that was after I saw the TV movie (or was it mini-series?). When you say some family members are “dangerously nutty” truer words were never spoken. Kelly McGillis is in the movie & does an outstanding job of portraying a wack-o. Harry Hamlin & Keith Carradine are also in it. Both book & movie left quite an impression on me.

Have a Happy & SAFE 2024 & avoid the dangerously nutty!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
