Daily Notes- November 3rd- the Day History (of some sort) Will Be Made


Someday.  While waiting for my chance at the morning paper- I was looking at a magazine.  I like everything but the colors.  but the cherry cabinets do match the floor I have now- a floor I do love.  But that floor isn't staying.  That's where I want my sink.  I know ......all your dirty dishes on display etc.  But dishwasher? Not sure I want to have the cook top there next to the orchid pot.  But it might be okay.  I like the idea of the bar stools for breakfast and a chat with anyone over a cup of tea.

Funny I should mention dishwasher.  Mine has not been used since I washed canning jars in 2019.  And before that- possibly Christmas of 2018.  I wash the few things that get used- by hand, dry and put away.

The local library has stopped having visits inside.  Our COVID cases are up over 100 per day.  It's too dangerous to be open.  So...Curbside.  I was online trying to do Curbside book ordering.  They say something is wrong with my record.  So none of my requests are going in.  I'm supposed to call...for assistance.  Probably a good idea.  The stopping of visits is terribly sad.  It's like the one real ray of sunshine is now gone behind dark clouds.  

The post office was open and I purchased stamps.  Enough I hope to get me thru to the new year.  I also purchased a 2021 calendar (at grocery store).  Pretty birds.  I hope the paper it's printed on is sturdier than the one on the wall right now. 

I also got  husband two more square pumpkin cakes with cream cheese frosting.  About 5 inches square. We shared the one I got on shopping day.  And he wanted a whole one.

I realized that somehow- I had managed to have appliqué all the circles on the squares that I had prepared. Now- to go sew more squares into four squares on the sewing machine and choose more circles? Or follow comments (connie) and add plain sashing to calm things down a bit.  I do not have a huge amount of plain solid fabrics that co-ordinate with these "French Provincal" fabrics.  I do not even have a small amount.  The plainest fabric I own has a pattern- however faint- but a pattern none the less. I will look in the Small Fabric Closet.  The newest stuff is there.  

And make a list of books I want and call the library desk and beg for help.  Sad but true- 10 years ago I would have been answering that call.

  1. I couldn't live without my dishwashers ... the one I run at least once a day (more if I'm cooking up a storm) ... and the one who is very good company and treats all my knives and cookware with such care that they have lasted for nearly five decades of use
