======================
-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 06-12-14 20:19 <=-

 RH>>> embroidery stitches. 
 NB>>> Useful and fun both...  :)
 RH>> Exactly! We changed the day to better suit her schedule so the
 RH>> first lesson will be this week. No time for cooking lessons to
 RH>> go with it tho; she will go from sewing to gymnastics.
 NB>> If you stick around long enough in WF, you might get to that,
 NB>> too... ;)

 RH> It's a possibility; we'll have to see how things work out. Meanwhile,
 RH> a very enthusiastic first day. She wants to do a tie case for her
 RH> brother's ties; I think I've got an idea of how to make one (of my
 RH> own design) that would be easy to sew.
 
Ambitious young lady...  :)  Nice that she's enthusiastic about it...
that will make your sessions fun for both of you...  :)

 RH>> Yes, I did more of that sort of thing last night as well. After
 RH>> finishing the prep work for the Life Group meal, I grabbed a quilt
 RH>> top that needed some tweaking and started taking it apart to do the
 RH>> tweaks. One more seam to pull out, then re-arrainge and re-sew. Then
 RH>> it'll be ready for me to re-tie it & bind the edges. It's one I made
 RH>> for a double bed size, now expanding into queen size. I've learned a
 RH>> lot about quilting since I first made it. (G)
 NB>> I imagine so...  :)  When you first made it, you probably wouldn't
 NB>> even have thought of maybe expanding it larger later...  ;)

 RH> Never thought we'd have anything bigger than a double bed. The one

Live and learn...  <G> 

 RH> we had in Berlin was almost a king size so when we came back to the
 RH> States and bought a bed, we went with a queen size. Haven't regretted
 RH> it either. A few months before Steve retired we got a Select Comfort,
 RH> which we both like very much.

We went from a double to a California king waterbed... Still have both
beds... the double is in the guestroom...  The waterbed was practically
given us by the guy on the other side of the duplex we then lived in,
when he packed worldly possessions into his car and left town... ;)
 
 RH>> We'll have LG left overs for a couple of meals this week--that'll
 RH>> make for easier meals.
 NB>> As long as there's enough leftover..  :)

 RH> There was, and I put some hot dogs & hamburgers (plus rolls) in the
 RH> freezer for future meals. We're done with the 2 salads now; the
 RH> watermelon didn't last beyond Sunday. We still have a partial carton
 RH> of ice cream and about 10 cones.
 
That'll last a little while...  :)

 RH>> Just have to decide what to fill them with. One may get made into
 RH>> Steve's favorite, a pumpkin pie.
 NB>> I'm sure that he'd appreciate that.  :)   And with them already
 NB>> made up, a spur-of-the-moment idea is more practical than it would
 NB>> be otherwise...  :)

 RH> Yes, and I've some pumpkin in the big freezer. Just have to pull it
 RH> out and put everything together.

There you go...  ;)  Everything right at hand... just needs thawing... ;)
