Hi Ruth,

-> cold night.

 RH> We didn't get frost last night, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Good chance we'll get it tonight. Then it'll get up to close to 80 by
the end of next week.


->  RH> Or you could just repaint it red and blue, and go with the flow?

-> Don't want to repaint since we'd have to repaint back to the original
-> before we move out.  Walls are a creamy, just off white--not the pure
-> white we had all the time in military housing.

 RH> I suppose it's an improvement.

A bit; it still shows a lot of stuff darker walls wouldn't.  I dropped a
glass jar on the kitchen (linoleum) floor this afternoon; it shattered.
Quite a bit to clean up but we think we got it all, by various methods.


 RH> My dad outgrew trains when they nailed his coffin shut.  He liked
 RH> Thomas just fine.  Now my niece likes toy trains; it has to be
 RH> genetic, since she was born a few months after Dad died.


Robert likes trains but Rachel said he's not quite as fascinated about
them as he was a few months ago.  Could be that school is taking up a
lot of his time; it is for his grandparents. (G)

->  RH> I've done those, and repaired a 1930s yo-yo quilt once.  That was a

-> I've got to repair the yo-yo bedspread my mom made as a wedding gift.
-> The weight of the yo-yos is pulling it apart so I'll sew it onto a sheet
-> some day when I've no other projects to do.  The class (actually, 2 mini

 RH> That's what happens to all of them eventually.

This one began to show stress pull aparts after only a few months. I
don't think my mom sewed it as securely as it should have been for the
weight of it.


-> (forget the others). Anyway, I was happy with how it went but privately
-> appalled at the young ladies in the one group who could barely thread a
-> needle, let alone sew a basic running stitch.

 RH> Ack.  My grandmother had me threading hers when I was five, and using
 RH> a sewing machine by the time I was 10.

I learned hand sewing when I was about 7, machine in junior high.  Mom
didn't really teach me either but I do remember a stamped cross stitch
kit as a Christmas present one year.  I wasn't thrilled with "tracing"
Xs so never finished it.

-> Yes; all it would take would be one disgruntled customer slipping on
-> some rice or oats that were on the floor and.................

 RH> ...that's $50,000 out the door.  Yeppers.

They probably do that much in business some week ends but don't want to
give it all away in legal fees.  Last time we were there, I bought some
Robusto cheese--an aged one, pretty good eaten as a snacking cheese.  I
may try some grated in some mac & cheese or cheese sauce too.  Steve
said he wouldn't mind my getting more of it.

-> -> world, they're also called pay raises. (G)

->  RH> Fat chance of that these days.

-> That's the breaks in a self employment situation.

 RH> It beats a 9-5 that I probably couldn't handle any more.

You're working--that's more than a lot of people can say.

-> Can't help you on that part; I'm fading fast at this hour.  Too late to
-> make cookie tonight anyway.

 RH> These days I fade out at about 10AM....(grouse)

And the day starts at what time?
