Hi Ruth,

->  RH> You never know with them Away folk.

-> My brother calls them "Flatlanders". (G)

 RH> I wonder what he'd call tourists from Colorado!

I almost hesitate to ask.

-> I can afford something other than the generic stuff from time to time.

 RH> It's one reason I love treasure hunting at rummage sales.


Same here.  Thrift shops can get you some treasures too--like the double
mix sheet cake pan I got for DM 3 in Berlin or the loden coat I got for
$17.00 in Frankfurt.

-> They didn't know what a gem it was.  We had food court at the PX Chinese
-> today for lunch; it was a bit better but the rice was lousy.

 RH> Lousy rice at a Chinese food place is a bad sign.  What's weird about

Tasted half cooked at best.  Had our choice of that or pizza but nobody
was out front taking orders at the pizza place.


 RH> the child's pinafore/jumper is that a vintage clothing dealer had been
 RH> at the sale before I got there and she missed it altogether.  We know
 RH> each other.


Did you show it to her?  Some vintage clothes are really fascinating to
examine with all the fancy needlework detailing on them.

-> About the same here since the new style uniforms don't need ironing.

 RH> Do they make them out of that horrible poly stuff?

Just checked--50% cotton, 50% nylon.

->  RH> I brought it home, but now what to do with it....
 RH> ->
-> If it's a size L, I can send you an address in a couple of weeks. (G)

 RH> I'd have to look, but it just might be...(G)

A size either way would be workable, or, a couple sizes too large could
be cut down.  I've done it with more than one piece of clothing. (G)
