No Time to Blog

We're busy preparing for our weekend guest. There's so much to do because I just know that Vicki will be SO very fussy and need things just right. After all, this is a trip that's been in the works for more than a year!

At least the greeting committee is well prepped and ready to go. Tigger, as usual, is refusing to participate. He will be the first to warm up to her however. And once Chris gets here tonight for an evening of knitting - well, he just loves Chris!

And as of right now, Vicki will have a clean and comfortable place to rest her head. If she has to pee at all, that's a different story. And if tonight goes into the wee hours, KMKat (whom we can now call Kathy - because that's her name) will also have a clean and comfortable place to rest her head. She'll have to share a bathroom with Kathryn. All bets are off on that deal!!

I wish all the rest of you lived closer because I make really good butternut squash soup and it would be fun to have you all over for dinner and knitting and laughing and hugging and wine and beer and girlie drinks and sharing this thing that binds us together. But, I'll see all your faces and hear all your voices and feel you embraces and know that you're here with us!

I just know you're going to have a fabulous weekend. I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it. I'll be with you in spirit.

She's not allowed to pee while she's at your house, but you're giving her drinks???

Chris said...

We get handed a chamber pot at the door, or what?!

Heh, yeah, Tig LOVES that I stalk him with the camera... ;)

Oh man, I WISH I could be there too! I'd love to hear about your butternut squash soup recipe; I make an Indian one from acorn squash and fresh corn with maple sugar that's pretty fair. To home I put in butter, but of course -- "there was no butter around here in 1790". It's good without, though, actually. And you know? I'd be happy in a corner on the floor with my sleeping bag - I WILL be there in spirit!

If I didn't have stuff to do tonight, I'd be tempted to crash the party. ;)

PS: Spinning group from noon-4pm this Sunday at the Fiber Studio if you're available. not sure what the schedule is but thought I'd put it out there.

Well I, for one, am quite envious. At least you could share your recipe for butternut squash soup - that sounds perfect.

mrspao said...

Now butternut squash soup sounds perfect :) I'll definitely have to come over again for that...

I'm with Christy if I wasn't working tonight I would probably crash your party, It sounds like it will be a good time, have fun. I'm not working Saturday so if you guys decide to take your show on the road let me know and I'll see if I can drop in.

Ain't fair.

just ain't fair.

kmkat said...

The butternut squash soup was to die for, as were the salad and (MMMMMM) chocolate decadence that was dessert. Thank you, Deb!

Carrie K said...

Oh yum! That sounds like so much fun. And the greeting committee is highly trained, ready and adorable.
