Hi Ruth,

-> -> Practicing on her sister?

->  RH> How did you guess?

-> Didn't take much detective work.

 RH> I've gotten good at ignoring her. (LOL)  In self-defense!

No surprise there.

-> Other than my QoV quilt, I've not done any sewing since we got home. Did
-> prewash a piece for a shirt for Santa; I'll probably cut it out on
-> Wednesday and start putting it together. Going to QoV tomorrow and then
-> to see The Piano Guys in the pm.

 RH> I'll be at the quilting club, working on pieces for an advent
 RH> calendar. It's not sewing, but it needs doing.

I got the rows done but for one square at the end of each (20).  The
other pieces were put on as pairs of 2; I made up all the units so I
could pick at random which to use. Now I'll unstitch a few pairs to use
the single block I need for the end before assembling the rows. did
something more important than that today--grocery shopping. We'd not
made a major trip in a while so I had to do some stocking up. Now we can
eat again. (G)

->  RH> Sounds like a plan.  I tend to use the craziest colors available
 RH> when making little kid quilts.  For boys I sometimes go for things
 that won't get them ragged on by playmates when they're older.

-> Sharks, dinosaurs, construction equipment...............

 RH> Planes, trains, automobiles.  African animals.  Just about anything
 RH> but little baby stuff.

Understood, having grandsons. Robert's Rainbow was done because I was
given a specific piece of fabric (cartoonish kids dressed in rainbow
colored outfits) and told to use it to make something for my grandson.

-> ->  RH> I did however use up some blue frosting with sparkles that I had

-> -> Turn your tongue blue frosting? Think Michael would like it?

->  RH> It didn't taste like much; it was just blue.

-> About the norm for that kind of stuff.

 RH> Seemed like.  I should have just brought a bag of Doritos or something
 RH> and saved some work; the kids dove into those first.

Go figure.

->  RH> Not even close.  It was that or green eyeballs!

-> Didn't see any of them but wouldn't have been too hard to make some up.

 RH> I did buy a few of the Halloween Cadbury eggs with the green guts.
 RH> Dropped them on my Pastor.  He has two teenagers but I doubt these
 RH> made it home.

He eats like a teen age boy?

->  RH> Overaged fish works well too; my cats like smelly fish even if it
->  RH> doesn't taste like anything.

-> Cats go for anything fish related. Should have thought of it as an
-> analogy but the fruit & cheese one produced the desired effect.

 RH> True, but cats like stinky fish the best.

I know, we used to have cats.


-> -> He's sorta nuts but not as far gone as I am. He's more left brain
-> -> oriented so doesn't have the genes for far out nuts.

->  RH> Aww. His loss.

-> No, actually between his left brain, my right, we work well together.
-> Better than having 2 left or 2 right brains.

 RH> Or two that don't work together.

2 of the same don't work together well.

->  RH> I may have to look.  All I ever see here is Ruby Tuesday or Olive
->  RH> Garden. Ecch.

-> TR has both of them beat, hands down.

 RH> Wouldn't take much!

Especially the OG pizza.

-> -> Yes, and the fake but not the real pearls.

->  RH> The fakes were bigger and flashier.  And crooks are dumb.

-> They did the same with the real/fake rubies. Fake had more bling.
-> Somebody got a big surprise.

 RH> Like I said; crooks are dumb.  You're lucky it wasn't me in
 RH> there.(LOL) The real stuff sticks out like limburger in a rose garden.

And has more meaning than the fake stuff.


-> -> Vidalia type or regular? The former seem to go bad faster.

->  RH> Regular.  Vidalias go into the fridge here.

-> I usually keep both at room temperature unless it's extemely hot inside.
-> We try to keep the AC set in the mid/uppr 70s but the house will warm up
-> more than that in really hot weather.

 RH> I can't let mine get that warm for health reasons.  Vidalias rot here
 RH> if left out for a week.

It's not comfortable but the heat pump thing unit is too small for the
house. That's why it goes into over drive in really hot or really cold
weather but still can't quite do an effective job. Better than no heat
or ac tho.
