Hi Ruth,

-> But since Steve is in the throes of finals, we will put off cooking our
-> bird this week end also.  I'll be making a big pot of beef stew
-> tomorrow; we're feeding our life group again on Sunday.

 RH> I did the Coffeehouse last night, which meant I made gingerbread
 RH> cookies (the drop version) and a cheesecake Friday night.  That's been
 RH> the extent of my cooking for the last few days.

Down for the count? Is your mom cooking?

->  RH> Cool.  Good wood can be hard to get.

-> This was some black walnut wood. The guy we took it to liked it a lot;
-> combination of it being from an area that has dramatic differences
-> between summer & winter and black vs English walnut made for some
-> interesting grainigs.

 RH> That it does.  Burl walnut is even better, but sometimes you just have
 RH> to suffer, right?

Yes, we're really suffering. But they are pretty bowls.

-> Not at all fun. We were supposed to hit 43 today (but I don't think we
-> did) and get as hot as 52 Sunday before going back to 38 for a high on
-> Monday.  Nice roller coastr weather--good for stews, etc.  We had
-> Chinese take out beef & broccoli for supper after a long afternoon of
-> shopping.

 RH> We went over 50 here, but it poured all day.  There are puddles in the
 RH> road between here and church that made me want to ask God where he
 RH> parked the ark.

It's up on Mount Ararat, tho a replica is going to be built in KY.  Look
on the Answers in Genesis web site.  We were supposed to have a high of
38 today but I don't think it got there.  Low tonight of 16, same with
tomorrow. High tomorrow is to be right around freezing.


->  RH> That's what Mom does when I'm not home.

-> And then forgets to turn it down when you're home?  We tolerate it but
-> it was hard on Sarah and Robert last summer--woke them up at night.

 RH> Pretty much.  I've been known to use my ear plugs.

Steve saw an ad for the TV Ears; think they might be good for my dad.
Mom doesn't object to the volume level so I think her hearing is
beginning to go a bit as well.


-> beads between--got some positive comments on it. It came from Israel. I
-> do dress up from time to time but cold weather means it's dressy slacks
-> more than skirts.

 RH> I thought about wearing a real live skirt this morning, but one look
 RH> at the rain and ... nahhh.

Agreed; we took the car to church but that was more so we could take
home the food stuff we took (mostly Saturday night). The stew was
popular but since about half our group was out, we had left overs. Split
it between the families that were there so we all got about a quart.
It'll taste good tomorrow (got something else going for tonight).

->  RH> It's been that kind of month.  A friend, not much older than I am,
->  RH> just had a double mastectomy.
 RH> ->
-> Even a single one of those isn't any picnic. But, it beats what could
-> happen. Is she going for chemo & radiation?
 RH> ->
 RH> Eventually.  The lymph nodes came back clean though.  She was in
 RH> church this Sunday if you can believe it.

Sounds like she's not letting it stop her.  As long as the surgery went
well, she's healing with no infection, why not go to church?

->  She's doing fine, and is looking  RH> forward to her improved swing in
->  softball. :-)

-> I like that attitude!

 RH> She was one of these women who was "blessed" shall we say and always
 RH> wished she was a AA.  Guess what - God answered her prayers. :-)

Yes, He did. Not quite the way she expected but..............
