Yeah, well, thats why I sent'em! Something other than the norm. I'd send a
'sasebo cookie' (tofu stuff) except I cant do that.

Sure.  Its like that here.  Makes sense but can be a trial.  Now you've had a
graphic example of how it can be for me to tell you whats on my table this
week that I cooked.  Uh yeah, Chu candy.  How to describe that one? Glad you
liked the instant Miso soup though.  The real thing is better but thas a

I think tougher pillowcases this time, as they have been in pretty much
continual use for (gosh has it been that long?) since 1970.  My sister and I
made some 20 of these. 13 of them I can track as still in use among us 4 (3
kids and Mom).

I'm teaching Charlotte how to repair the really simple 'line embroidery' style
on the ones we have.
