Hi Ruth,

-> I was thinking along the line of just the start, not full blown yet.
-> Same as I never get a cold; it's always bronchitis.

 RH> I get the cold too.

I wish that wer all I got.  I think I'm beginning to turn the corner on
this one.  The energy level is still way down but I'm not coughing quite
as much as I was a week ago.  Choir practice was still a no go however.

-> Good; last night I didn't have to grab the inhaler in the wee smalls to
-> get me thru the night.  Still using it several times during theday tho.

 RH> We'll have to see if this shuts up and goes home again.  On the other

 RH> again.

Not fun at all.

-> Just sew your seam maybe about 1/16" away from the finished outline and
-> clip the curves & angles.  Also, depending on the size of the lily pads,
-> you may want to whipstitich the slit on the bottom shut.  A small paint
-> brush (top end) or the rounded end of a nut pick work well for poking

 RH> I usually use a crochet hook.  The way the lily pads are going down, I
 RH> can machine sew about 1/4 inch away from the edge and no one will be
 RH> able to tell the difference.  The fabric layer underneath is slightly
 RH> darker and meant to show slightly.

OK, sounds like things are going well there.  I pulled out the quilt
squares I'd made for my last sampler quilt & noticed that 4 of the 12
were light green print & dark green solid.  So, I hunted up the scraps,
the only quilt block reference I've managed to uncover and did some
calculating.  Two of the blocks will be redone, one a varient on the
original pattern but to include a 3rd color and the other, a new
pattern, using 3 colors. Better to catch it now than later.

-> OK, glorp for molasses & honey, glug for other liquids.

 RH>  ... like big bottles of wine, if one is Michael. Big bottles of
 RH> vinegar and soy sauce for the rest of us!

Or chicken stock, milk or various other liquids.

->  RH> With this bunch, sometimes you have to rub their noses in it a

-> No, they just need to learn the difference between the AL & NL teams in
-> NYC. Like the 2 in Chicago, one is better than the other.

 RH> ...and which one would that be?  I have to love Cubs fans.

No comment; I'm not into Chicago teams except if they're playing my
favorite home team.  BTW, did I tell you that the baseball farm team
here in Savannah (the Sand Gnats) is a Mets, I think Class D, team?  We
might wander out to the stadium a time or two while we're here; wonder
if they have garlic fries. (G)
