august plods along with hot muggies returning again this week. due to vision problems, lost nearly a week working toward my august goals hoping now to make up for lost time. no oven or stove use led to some funky food combos...LOL...finally yesterday able to drive and had a birthday lunch with my two favorite people....and prezzies too!
plenty of viewing diversion from the motherland and some delish tiptree lemon curd...her majesty favors their orange marmalade...plus a quartet of anglo-theme fridge magnets.....and earlier in the week this squishie arrived from an online quilty pal...
a beautiful applique pattern has been chosen but holding off until august's list is conquered... birthday lunch was the once-yearly prime rib that was heavily seasoned, immediately noticeable when one lives nearly sodium free, but decadently good followed by a 50s favorite of root beer floats...alas, had to return to the "abbey" (definitely NOT downton) hoping it is a temporary situation. *** still a bit draggy and unsteady today so fitness still on hold, but at least i can sew. snacks at the ready in the form of no-salt peach salsa, a poor but tolerable sub for chips and dip...and yeah, i know, healthier too...
today's mantra is to keep calm and sew on!
Keep calm, stay cool sew on and eat salsa. I know, it is a poor substitute but it looks refreshing and yummy from here!
ReplyDeleteI have three of those movies--love them!
ReplyDeleteLemon curd sounds yummy!
Hope the eye issue isn't serious.
Gorgeous fabric from your friend.
Hmm, do you eat the salsa with kale chips? :)
