Well, today is really more "normal" for October finally and the month is over! There is a nip in this mornings air and today should be in the high 80s. I have doctor appointment this morning but I just may get to sit outside this afternoon.
Decided to try to make dinner rolls yesterday....
and it was easy and they were very good...okay, they were not uniform in size but hey, I did not divvy the dough evenly. In the end it was the taste that was good. Just as I had put them to rise and wondering what to enjoy for dinner with them, the back bell rang and special delivery from Keith and Al
a small casserole dish of lasagna. So, I had a great made from scratch dinner. Keith and Al live in the next courtyard over and I affectionately refer to them as Honey (Keith) who is my computer pal and Dear (Al). They have been very good friends before and since Denny's passing. When the roll were hot from the oven I delivered some to them as well as Glenda and Don to try. We are a sharing group of friends!
Yesterday I dug into my fabric stash to look for some material to start the Swaddled Baby pattern. Mimi uses wool but I have some lovely cotton
Freshly washed and dried, waiting to be pressed, these are the four I will start with. I love how she made the dolls but I always like to put my own spin on things. Still have to get to Joann's for some stuff but I am hoping to start them this week. Easy enough to make 4 at once as it is to make one---right?
With the weather cooling now I will be able to dig out the area of the irrigation leak and see where the pipe is most likely broken. Then get it fixed...oh I understand how to do it but I know that I cannot myself fix it. Never ending.
Now, off to finally have my first coffee of the day and then get things done around the house before my morning appointment. Always nice to chat with you and thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
I do wish everyone who leaves a comment also leaves a way to contact for response. Note to Kris from yesterday.....I think you misread my wording. The Pizzelles are indeed made with a special maker. The are not bread. The bread I was making was referring to the rolls. There are no bread Pizzelles.

Gracie I actually scrolled back up to view your rolls and the lasagna again! Oh yum!! You lucky girl you.
Rolls and lasagna look delicious. Sounds like you have wonderful friends around you. They are hard to come by.
Can't wait to see your dolls! Enjoy the cooler weather.
So wonderful to have lovely neighbors! It's great to share food back and forth. Lasagna is perfect for "cooler" weather too, how kind of them.
The rolls and dinner look fab.
So nice to have good friends .
Enjoy your day sweet gracie.
How wonderful to have such lovely friends close by and share your kindnesses.
Wonderful for you to have such a nice group of neighbors who love to share and who you can rely on.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with the fabrics. These babies will be so lovely.
It will be nice if the temperatures cool down enough for you to be outside during the day. Dinner looks delicious, now I want lasagna!
