Hi Ruth,

-> I understand NC has a goodly share of deer ticks as well.  We're not in

 RH> On the other hand the disease is not named for a town in North
 RH> Carolina.

Nope!  Glad of that too. (G)


-> an area where we are not likely to pick any up but you never know.  I
-> try to stay clear of brushy areas anyway.  Last year, when we first
-> moved in, Steve cleared away a good bit of brush from the back yard but
-> he didn't pick up any ticks.

 RH> Good.  They may not be plentiful near you. They haven't shown up here
 RH> much either this summer.  It was too dry.

We have quite a few trees around us.  It's not downtown Raleigh urban
but older part of Wake Forest.  The potential for ticks is there; the
actual presence may or may not exsist.

->  RH> Can't say I ever have.  I tend to avoid aerosols when possible.

-> OK, it was a thought.  You might find it helpful for this project tho.
-> Just make sure you use it in a super well ventilated area--outside on a

 RH> Ecch.  I think I'll stick to the old school.  Besides, that quilt is
 RH> aleady done.  At the moment I'm working on some fleece applique blocks
 RH> for another one.  It involves the word for Love in Arabic and Persian;
 RH> it's going to a missionary couple who were in both Iran and Egypt.

OK, found out about another one that has no smell to it. I was working
at a local Project Linus Awareness Day today.  The Raleigh paper had a
notice about it last week; I think the group was surprised when I showed
up, ready to sew.  But, I established my credentials with a patch
showing I'm an official Blanketeer and a well made (at the work session)
quilt top.

->  RH> Until I have to sew the thing, which is what I'm up to now!  It now

-> At least you're not trying to do it in super heat & humidity.  Looks

 RH> I'm crazy, but not that crazy.

No comment (biting my tongue).

-> Keep a pair of gloves handy; juggling that cold stuff around freezes the
-> hands quickly.  Steve had to move our freezer today; an almost full jug

 RH> I can usually go quite a while before needing gloves.  Not an entire
 RH> freezers' worth though.

Same here; I can go for a bit but am happy to have the gloves handy.
Just a light weight knit pair but frozen food in chunks is cold!

-> of liquid detergent fell off a shelf & onto the floor.  We lost about a
-> third of it.  But, to clean up the area, Steve had to move the freezer
-> as it's right by the washer & dryer.  Old towels to sop it up, rinse out

 RH> Ack.  That'll make a right mess. Clean floor though!

In that area, very clean.  Other areas, not quite as clean.

-> really good, mop the floor with them, repeat several times.  Then wash
-> the floor with plain water, toss the towels into the washer (heavy duty,
-> with extra rinse, then another rinse & spin) and dryer.

 RH> Clean towels too.

Yes, they were to begin with and ended up that way as well.


-> I got the fridge freezer somewhat straightened out today too.  At least
-> I've got a better idea of what's in there, even if I didn't write it
-> down.  Got some stock making to do to use up odds & ends of stuff put in
-> there for that purpose.

 RH> I need to do that too, at some point.  There are chicken wings out
 RH> there begging me to mess with them too. There's a missions dinner
 RH> coming up; they may end up in a teriyaki bath.

Sounds good to me. I've just got a couple of wings on hand, not enough
for anything serious.  OTOH, I've got some serious meat ball making
ahead of me in the near future.
