Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> I thought of you yesterday....had a friend offer me a quilting 
frame,
-> ->  hn> and a loom...neither of which I have the skills (or the space for)
to
-> 
-> -> Ah well!  I could use the space of about a 3 car garage to hold all the
-> -> toys I want.  A long arm quilting machine, several sewing and/or
-> -> embroidery machines, a serger, quilting frame, etc.  It would have about
-> -> a 12' long by 6' wide cutting table too.
-> 
->  hn> What the begollies are you making that's 12 feet long???
-> 
-> Nothing right now but consider that it's only 4 yards. Ten years ago
-> when I was making the dresses for Rachel's wedding, I put 2 banquet
-> tables together to cut some of them out.  For hers, I put out 6 in a 3
-> by 2 arraingement and still had to fold up extra fabric so it wouldn't
-> touch the floor.  The cutting table I have is 5' x 3' so even to cut out
-> a shirt requires some folding of the fabric at one end until I get the
-> first end laid out.
-> 
Ok now I understand, you and Connetticut Ruth can have Biiiig tables for 
playin on! 

-> ->  hn> with friends, hiking in the mountains and going to the 
beach...didn't
-> ->  hn> cost much and was a lot of fun!
-> 
-> -> Was Anne going to school at the same time? I got most of my college 
(all
-> -> but 2 classes) done before Steve and I got married, finished the other 2

-> 
->  hn> Anne had finished by the time we got married and was working in a
->  hn> research facility on Long Island...when we came out here there was 
no
->  hn> research
->  hn> positions available anywhere so she worked as a vetrenary tech. Then
->  hn> she worked in the lab of a local hospital until Amanda was born and
->  hn> then she was a stay at home mom till Amanda started school then 
she
->  hn> went back to college again and got her teaching degree.
-> 
-> And it sounds like she found her niche in teaching.
-> 
I have a feeling that before she's done she'll be a Phd teaching at the college

level...if she can ever give up the kids in the classroom! It really is nice to

see someone who has a career that they love, and are incredibly good at, 
and respected by their peers as well. 

-> 
-> ->  hn> Have you found a peanut sauce that you like? most are peanut 
butter
-> ->  hn> based but if you find one you like it makes a wonderful seasoning
-> 
-> -> I've not really tried many. In Berlin we would occaisionally get
-> -> something from an Indonesian place but I don't particularly remember 
the
-> -> sauces. Most of the time I'll read a recipe or menu listing and see
-> -> peanut butter and not bother going further for that dish.
-> 
->  hn> Happy for us we both like peanut butter and the additional ingredients
->  hn> in the peanut sauce are tasty add ons (grin)
-> 
-> I'll do some looking in my cook books and see what I can find.  Trouble
-> is, most cop out by starting with peanut butter.
-> 
Yeah, that's what makes them peanut sauces most of the time (grin). Do you 
just not like peanut butter or do you not  like peanuts at all?
chat with you soon
