Hi Nancy,

 RH> I'm to the point where I can do Fido pretty much every day now. Just
 RH> have to make sure I have meals worked out and am aware of normal day
 RH> to day activities that are "must dos" like laundry, dishes, etc.

 NB> I'm still having to fit Fido in around things...  I usually (unless
 NB> away) do manage to get online to get packets and play my turns... but
 NB> answering messages is trickier to fit in some days...  :)  Can't
 NB> always do a whole packet with the time allotted...  ;)

I'm doing my Fido later than usual because of a busy day already.
Laundry (2 regular loads plus 2 of Santa's shirting fabrics), pressing a
couple of shirting fabrics (about 6 yards each), reading the paper,
nursery at chuch, etc, etc................................... I'll clip
coupons for a grocery run on Friday after I finish Fido.

 RH> Other things are sort of fixed (QoV, sewing lessons). Some fit in
 RH> here & there like the meeting with Santa tomorrow and some are totally
 RH> off a normal radar.

 NB> IOW, life as usual...  (G)

Very much so! Santa is now looking for a vest pattern on my suggestion
for use of a piece of fabric. He also brought some more fabric, for
another shirt and another vest when he delivered the fabric for one
shirt and a vest.


 NB>  RH>> I did some damage to the nerve to my middle finger when I broke
 NB> my  RH>> elbow so it lets me know I've done a lot of typing on top of
 NB> a lot  RH>> of chopping.
 NB>  NB>> Yeah, that would let you know...  :)

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

 NB> Makes sense...  :)

That, and the previous wrist damage make some kitchen work harder. Steve
will do a lot of slicing for eggplant parm tomorrow so I won't have
quite as much wrist strain.


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

 NB> Ticking off the list...  ;)

That was an off list project--a button cracked on one of his shirts so
he asked for a replacement, ended up having to replace all 4 as I had no
match. Took about half an hour but it's done now, not later.

 NB>  NB>>> make planning future get-togethers easier as well...  :)
 NB>  RH>> We'll probably try to get together more often as Bel Air is on
 NB> the  RH>> route we take coming home from or up to NJ, just off I-95.
 NB>  NB>> And having done it once makes it easier to conceive of doing it
 NB> again,  NB>> after all... :)  One just has to calculate it into the
 NB> plans...  :)

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

 NB> Exactly.   :)

They live less than an hour from Shipps but have to go thru the
Baltimore traffic to get there. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hopefully
seeing more of them over the years we're on the east coast.

Catch you later,
