Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>> That makes sense.  You can get stuff that normally would be a
 NB> major  NB>> trip, as part of a necessary trip... :)

 RH> We usually end up with some non neccerrary stuff too. (G) Didn't do
 RH> quite the amount of run around we thought we would but got all we
 RH> needed to do, done.

 NB> That's what counts, getting the needed done... :)

Yes, especially since we had to leave for NY Thursday morning.


 RH> We had a major change in plans kick in Sunday night. Did get another
 RH> pair of trousers (for a suit) hemmed on Wednesday, a bit faster than
 RH> I'd intended to do it.

 NB> Now that sounds interesting... he needed the suit for Sunday night, I
 NB> take it...?  Job-search related...?  Or less pleasant...?

Less pleasant--Steve's oldest brother's wife passed away unexpectedly
Monday night (Jan. 28). It was cold up there this past week end!

 NB> stitching tomorrow. After  RH>> I get that done, I'll sew the binding
 NB> on (have to finish that by hand)  RH>> so it'll keep me busy for a
 NB> while.
 NB>  NB>> I guess!  :)  Hopefully you'll get it done before you won't want
 NB> a  NB>> keep you warm project any more...  ;)

 RH> If I work on it just about every day for an hour or so, it should be
 RH> done relatively fast. The thing is, is dedicating the time to it each
 RH> day may not always be possible, as in our current circumstances.

 NB> Too large a project for carting around with you, I imagine.  :)

A full/queen sized quilt, yes, too big to carry around very often. Best
worked on at home.


 NB>  RH>> I made a meat loaf for supper tonight, baked a couple of sweet
 NB>  RH>> potatoes for Steve at the same time. It was just cool enough in
 NB>  RH>> the house that running the oven warmed up the kitchen nicely.
 NB>  NB>> One of the nice things about winter... enjoying the heat of the
 NB>  NB>> oven.  :)

 RH> Yep! Baking bread is another good way to warm the house.

 NB> Especially if you start the oven early to get the kitchen warm enough
 NB> to keep the rising even...  :)  With a usually cool house, having a
 NB> warm stovetop makes a big difference.  :)   Not an issue in the
 NB> summer, but then one really doesn't like to use the oven to warm
 NB> things up
 NB> more that time of year...  :)

AC helps but don't put the bread to rise right under a vent. Too drafty.
