Hi Ruth,

hahaha know what you mean there.. :)  I think I went with the Futura 350 since
it seemed you could import more external designs, but now I forget how true
that is (g).  Anyway, both are good machines.  I think of the 350 as a grown up
Athena 2000 :)  Boy did I love that Athena, too.  It was something back in it's
time.

I can see the details online, it also looks like a good machine :)  the thing
that almost made me go for it was the bobbin, since it's like the athena's I
believe.. but the cost didn't justify that.

That's neat :)

Ouch.. that sounds bad :(  Is that where your wrists were broken? :(

My friends made the wedding cake.. nothing monsterously fancy, but beautiful
non-the less, and delicous.. It was a garden Wedding, on my parents 4 acre lot
in Warwick (which was right in the village of Warwick).  My mom snuck notice to
all our relatives in Scranton, so everytone was there, though we'd initially
planned a very small affair.. I laughed at that when I saw their cars pull up
"Oh, you've having a wedding this weekend?  We just thought we come by for a
visit today" LOL  All worked out fine in the end though, and it was great
having everyone there after all :)

Yes, that sounds like the same one in the big cookbook of her's that I have.  I
skip the boxthorn seeds (g).  It's still a delicious broth without them.

Take care,
Janis
