Hi Ruth,

->  RH> No stork required, or spoonbill either.

-> But swordfish is better.

 RH> As dinner or dining implement?

Actually, it's not bad as dinner.  I had some in HI.  I don't think I'd
want to fight a duel with it; the sword isn't the sharpest.  But it did
have a good taste.

I understand that angle.


-> yesterday (futily) looking for a bathrobe for me.  Went over to W-M
-> today for a look see but, again, no go.  Did see fuzzy throws for $3.
-> each so picked up some to use as fabric for me to make a new robe.

 RH> Good girl. I do that too.  I got my mom a really nice new one from the
 RH> Land's End clearance section last Christmas.  I don't own one and
 RH> haven't since high school.

I don't do that much clothes shopping on line (probably could) so never
thought about LE or LLB.  The last couple of warmer robes I've had have
been ones I made; I was looking to get out of making one with other
sewing planned for before we leave.  Looks like I'll work in another
project.


->  RH> Not much, thankfully.  It didn't get cold enough.

 RH> No ice storms yet.  You guys get those more than we do, oddly enough.

But this area has missed them this year, not that I miss them.

I've got a few cans of chicken fish (our girls name for canned chicken)
and tuna; they were part of our hurricane evac kit since I don't do
peanut butter.

We don't have any New Year's traditions.  Going over to a friend's house
this year for games, nibbles and praying in the New Year, like we did
last year.
