Question for you interior designers…🙂. As you may know I’m not into this at all…DH is in charge of color, furniture, etc….
    We have 2 leather chairs he bought for the main living room that we decided not to use and put them downstairs in the family room, which we never use.  Now we’re ready to do and use that room.  Just had it painted, etc.  So we went to the furniture and ordered two sofas in fabric to use in a setting in front of the fireplace.  They should be delivered in about 2 weeks.  Now he says, maybe we should have gotten them in leather to go better with the chairs.  I really don’t care but thought I’d get some opinions here…. Can we mix 2 leather chairs with 2 fabric sofas?  If I don’t take them and change to leather I don’t think the leathers will match, what do you all think?

Janet, I’m not good at decorating but my opinion is that fabric and leather would be better than two leathers that don’t match.

Prep for moving my sewing room is still happening - a lot of other stuff is getting sorted and organized in the process.

Trish, that quilt is so pretty and what a neat way to fool the eye.  I love lime-y green colors as accents around my house, and they're in this quilt.  I guess you're not keeping it, but it would be hard to part with... if it was me.   Hope your nose settles down soon.  All that sneezing/blowing, etc. is so dibilitating.  You can hardly get anything else done!  

Theresa, you were past due for a pleasant surprise (instead of some of the unpleasant ones you've received).  So glad it made you happy and know you are well-loved.  I'm so hoping this works out for your Mom...and you.     As far as the most important one,  you could rub a hot dog on an older one.  Maybe that would lure him away??? 

I feel like I've solved one of the world's problems (my world!)  Tomorrow is ROMEO lunch day.  I have a dental cleaning, appt. set up long before the ROMEOs came into our lives.  ML has a P-T appt.  1 1/2 hours after my appt.  So, with much figuring on my part, Howard will drop me off at the dentist's and go on to lunch.  When I'm through, I'll call ML at home and she'll come and pick me up. She & I  will then eat lunch at White Castle (which we both love once in a while and Howard hates) which is right across the street from her P-T place and down the highway, 1/2 a mile or less from where Howard is lunching. When we're done, she'll run me to  where Howard is and go to her P-T appt. and he  and I will carry on.  Brilliant, right?  That's how much I want him to keep going with the ROMEO's!   

So, last evening, when I had the salmon all ready to grill, he discovered the grill was out of gas--our laziness for not getting the other  tank filled.  Good thing the stove had gas  so  all was well.  Frozen corn and tomato and cuke salad  rounded out  our supper.  NO potatoes, which I do love many ways.  Just not last evening.  

Devonne, your produce looks and sounds so good.  Like you and Trish, I prefer the red or yellow peppers.  Of course, in the stores they cost much more.  Hope you find the car son  of your dreams soon and don't have to settle.  It's harder when you need to rely on other people, even sons,  to help you.  Men seldom want to take the time we women need to be sure. 

I've only named my feather weight.  With Devonne's permission, I call her Sadie Grace.  Had a a Buick LeSabre years ago I named Sybil.  No reason why for that name.  Otherwise, no vehicles have been named.   I've told this before, but Cousin Judy named her dog, George, after her FIL, my uncle and Aunt Frannie's husband.  She planned to name the cat Fran but  Aunt Frannie was so enraged that she had the nerve to name the dog, George, and pitched such a fit, the cat got some other name.  One has to be careful with in-laws!  

With that useless information, I'll quit and carry on here.  Have to come up with something for supper, a daily question, often.  Have a good day.

HI!

BEHIND ON READING, BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW.

OUR SON WAS HERE FOR A VISIT. A BUSY, BUT GOOD
TIME. SPENT TIME PRIOR GETTING READY. TODAY IS RECOVERY TIME.

HAVE BEEN THINKING OF EVERYONE. Hope everyone is doing well.

It is hot, hot, hot here. Supposed to get to 98, with feeling like triple digits.

Thinking of this wveryone. Prayers................

I haven’t been out today but it is upper 99’s.  I guess we’ll go in the pool when the sun goes around late afternoon.  I’ll bet the water is 90 or so. 
     Thanks for your opinions on the furniture. 
Yesterday the Ford Edge sent me a text that the battery was in life saving mode??? What?  Then the dumb alarm went off saying someone was trying to gain access to be car.    About an hour it started remotely?  All with in one hour…in the driveway. 
  These new fangled electronic bs.  I hate. It!  Remember how in the old days we were smarter than the car?  DH discontinued the battery to shut it up.  Told me to use the truck if I need to go anywhere.  I’m hoping he’ll dump this car asap.  Where oh where is my RAV.  If I knew, I’d buy it back!

Janet, when I was growing up my dad could fix and adjust cars with a screwdriver! 

Holly- very true.

Belated Happy Birthday! Theresa,  I hope you had a good day yesterday.

TWO-HEADED HEADLINES......
1.  NICARAGUA SETS GOAL TO WIPE OUT LITERACY.
2.  DRUNKEN DRIVERS PAID $1,000 IN '84.

WE HIT 99 YESTERDAY AND MAYBE REACH 91 TODAY.  TOO HOT FOR MY NECK OF THE WOODS.
LET ME KNOW IF I AM REPEATING MYSELF ON THE JOKES.  I WAS NOT SURE ABOUT TODAY'S.

NOT FEELING UP TO PAR LATELY.  THANK GOODNESS I SEE MY CARDIOLOGIST ON TUESDAY.  IT MAY BE TIME FOR THAT PACE MAKER.  NO ENERGY THE LAST 3 DAYS.  BUT MY PULSE IS ENOUGH TO STILL BE SAFE SO I AWAIT HIS FURTHER TESTING ON TUESDAY.

YESTERDAY MY NEIGHBOR NAN BROUGHT ME SOME SUPPER.  IT WAS A PRE-MADE DINNER OF STEW BEEF, PENNE PASTA, CARROTS AND BEEF GRAVY.  NOT BAD.  I HAD TO CUT UP THE BEEF IN SMALLER PORTIONS SO IT WOULDN'T TASTE CHEWY BUT ALL IN ALL, IT WAS NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE BRING ME A MEAL.  NAN RARELY COOKS.  SHE MOSTLY BUYS PREMADE AND FROZEN DINNERS THAT'S WHY I SHARE WITH HER SO OFTEN.  ITS GOOD THEY HAVE SOME GOOD PRE-MADE MEALS THESE DAYS.
I HAVE TRASH TO TAKE OUT SO THAT IS ON MY LIST FOR TODAY.  OTHER THAN MAKING MY MEALS, PROBABLY SANDWICHES TODAY, I WILL BE WATCHING TV, DOING MORE READING, AND PLAYING SOLITAIRE ON MY PUTER.  A SLOW DAY FOR ME AGAIN.
WISHING YOU ALL A GOOD DAY.  HUGS, QB S

Happy belated birthday, Theresa!

Not much going on here, either, Devonne!  lol!  Amelia is spending the night and she has not done that for a while, so that will be fun.  Dean is in the dining room playing cards with her as I type. 

Made some baked chicken, green beans and boxed stuffing for supper.  Easy and not much baking time, so the oven was not on long.  It is still really hot, but not as hot as the past two days.  Sadly we have had several drownings in the area lakes and rivers.  A dad and his 5 year old son was first, then a 37 year old man boating/rafting in a local lake.  The rivers are fast, cold and high due to all the rain, and now it is hot so many people in/on the water and most without life jackets.   The water rescue team is still looking for the dad in the river after several days.  The boy was recovered.
