Hi Nancy,

 NB> Fido go  RH>> and catch as catch can for a bit. Things are settling
 NB> down tho so I'll  RH>> be back on, on a more regular basis.
 NB>  NB>> Catching up is always fun...  ;)

 RH> Except when your fingers and wrists start aching from all the typing.

 NB> I didn't specify what kind of "fun"...  ;)  yeah... I'm still trying
 NB> to catch up, too... not being helped by still running off periodically
 NB> for a couple of days at a time...  ;)

I'm to the point where I can do Fido pretty much every day now. Just
have to make sure I have meals worked out and am aware of normal day to
day activities that are "must dos" like laundry, dishes, etc. Other
things are sort of fixed (QoV, sewing lessons). Some fit in here & there
like the meeting with Santa tomorrow and some are totally off a normal
radar.


 RH> I did some damage to the nerve to my middle finger when I broke my
 RH> elbow so it lets me know I've done a lot of typing on top of a lot
 RH> of chopping.

 NB> Yeah, that would let you know...  :)

It's also why if I've got to stir something for a while, I'll switch
hands several times in the course of the stir time.

 NB>  RH>> I doubt any sewing was done. I brought some hand work on our
 NB> trip but  RH>> didn't touch it.
 NB>  NB>> Sometimes there's extra time available, sometimes really not, or
 NB> no  NB>> energy left with the little bit of time...  :)

 RH> And poor lighting compared to what you're used to.

 NB> I have better lighting at the Pond usually than what I have at home...
 NB> and often also better lighting (outside, anyway) when away at my
 NB> family's camping, so I often bring along something to work on if the
 NB> mood takes me...  :)

Most of the time the lighting elsewhere isn't as good as my lighting at
home. Of course my sewing room is lit to the way I want it to be, not
what I have to put up with as a rental. I've got all low energy high
lumen daylight bulbs in the overhead fixture and task lamps.

 RH> Actually, I did start sewing the patches on Dad's sweater while we
 RH> were up there so I did do some sewing.

 NB> Not much, but a bit...  :)

 RH> Sewed down the corners of a quilt for Sarah
 RH> yesterday, just have to add the hanging loops and label.

 NB> Another project about done, now...  :)

Just the label now. Last night after supper clean up I replaced the
buttons on a shirt for Steve.

 NB>  NB>> Was the pastrami any good...?   Scrapple and eggs sounds like a
 NB> nice  NB>> simple first supper back... :)   As it turned out, we did
 NB> do a grocery  NB>> run, and did eat at Wegmans...

 RH> The pastrami was really good! We split a platter, each of us getting
 RH> one of our favorite sides, and got another one to split. Steve got
 RH> baked beans, I got potato salad and we split a cole slaw. Had enough
 RH> pastrami on the platter to give us each about 10 or 12 slices, total
 RH> so some went home with us.

 NB> Sounds perfectly yummy...

It was, I'd reorder it any day of the week.

 NB> the gaps... :)  RH>> But now we have each other's e-mails so catch up
 NB> should be better.  NB>> One can do some keeping current by email,
 NB> true... and it might make  NB>> planning future get-togethers easier
 NB> as well...  :)

 RH> We'll probably try to get together more often as Bel Air is on the
 RH> route we take coming home from or up to NJ, just off I-95.

 NB> And having done it once makes it easier to conceive of doing it again,
 NB> after all... :)  One just has to calculate it into the plans...  :)

Even if it's only getting together for lunch as we're passing thru.
