LLB dinner

It was 62 gorgeous degrees outside when we got up on Saturday morning (9/16)!!!! My concession to the cool temperature was to switch from a short sleeved t-shirt to a long sleeved t-shirt for my bike ride.

My honey left for golf just after 8 AM, and Janice and I spent a lot of the morning in the kitchen…making Susie’s Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart:

and baking some Butterfinger Cookies that I found in the freezer yesterday:

while Freya was passed out in the kitchen:

We finally headed to the studio in the afternoon and she polished off the quilting on her guest bedroom quilt:

I took my flashlight into my fabric closet….and looked for the batik fabric where I SHOULD have put it (in a laundry basket of….these are all fabrics I’ve used in recent quilts…and haven’t yet fully completed the quilts) and guess what?!!? I found it right where it was supposed to be…YAY!! I got 13 strips cut (for the outer border and the binding) before it was time to set my hair, and shower and get dressed. Michael and I:

headed to Dave and & Marge’s house for a cookout with the LLB group:

-Tim & me

-Carol & Ed

-my honey & Dave

-Carol & Lindsey

-Marge & Ann

Dinner was terrific:

and we had a good time sitting around and talking before heading home.
