Hi Janis,

Most likely. Quality control is a lot stricter with home sewing vs
factory produced stuff. (G)

Probably, once we settle down for good.  Steve is still deciding whether
or not and where to go to seminary so we'd wait until he was done with
that before buying.  We were half debating doing so when we came here
but several factors made us decide not to--and with the market down
turn, I'm glad we didn't.

We've got a flat top cook top so we have to use cookware that's flat on
the bottom. I'm glad most of mine is (was already).

 JK> Hmm.. never caught that show :)  Is it a good one?  I've seen Alton,

It's a bit quirky; the fun part is seeing what he can come up with given
the constraints he has and then seeing if he can do it in the time
allotted. I didn't like the show at first but enjoy it now.

With the size garden you put in, I'm not surprised. I'd have to do
container gardening but my sills aren't big enough for anything butsmall
pots.  It might be an idea I'll have to put on hold for now.
