 RH>> We're going out tonight--celebrating our 37th anniversary.
 NB>> Congratulations on the milestone... :)

 RH> Thanks, we just take it one day at a time. Those days add up pretty
 RH> fast sometimes, rather slow other times but when you look back at the
 RH> total, it's quite a few. (G)  

We're at the stage where time goes both too slow and too fast, at one
and the same time... (G)  ("has it really only been 2 days since..." and
"where did this month go?!!" said in almost the same breath... really
happened to me and my mom just last week... [g])

 RH> We went out to a little seafood place for a low key celebration;
 RH> I had a couple of hush puppies without blowing the carb count.
 
Good deal.  :)
 
 RH>> I'm not either. Tried a bit of machine sewing earlier, 1 1/2
 RH>> handed--took more work than worth right now.
 NB>> Don't get too much in a hurry to get working... ;)

 RH> Got a couple of baby shower gifts to make before October 6. Steve did
 RH> the embroidery today so I can assemble the outer bags and then put in
 RH> the lining, velcro closure and my "Hand made by Ruth C. Haffly" label.
 RH> They'll get done in time, just not at the usual speed.
 
Ah.  That does put a bit of a push on things.  A semi-tradition in my
family is the gift "certificate", or promissary note, in which a gift
not finished on time or which doesn't arrive in time is promised at some
future date.  Some have been quite (intentionally) funny and/or vague...

 RH>> Got the stitches out yesterday; worst stitch removal I've ever
 RH>> had (not the tech's fault tho).
 NB>> Just too involved a repair, I'd imagine.  And probably the wrist is
 NB>> still pretty tender as well... :)  Progress, though.  :)

 RH> Progress, yes but slow. At least the rash was not something infectious
 RH> and is clearing up. Now we've got to figure out if it's an allergy to
 RH> latex, the sutures or something else. 

And it's possible that you'll never really know...  Latex allergies can
be developed, though.. so that is a possibility...

 RH> Meanwhile, we had eggplant parm
 RH> (light) sandwiches for lunch, BLTs for supper. The eggplant, lettuce
 RH> and tomato were all from the local farmer's market--more good eats.
 
Yum.  :)
 
 NB>> ... Computers can't cook omelettes, even if asked.

 RH> And they can get fried worse than an overdone egg. (G)

Yes, we've had quite the rash of that lately here in the echo... ;)
