Hi Nancy,

 RH> And the eggplant parm was good. We'll have the 2nd meal from the one
 RH> dish tomorrow night. There's a 2nd dish, plus slices in the freezer
 RH> for later on.

 NB> Good provision planning there...  :)   Should keep you in eggplant for
 NB> a while...  :)

For this winter, yes. Doing a quick check of the freezer, we've got a
fair amount of raw meat (put up in meal sized amounts) that we can use
during the winter. No big things like the ham or a Boston butt but lots
of chicken and a surprising amount of beef. Could be there's so much of
the latter as we hit the bargain area at Lowe's quite often.

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

 RH> Yes, but it's a shirt he can wear now.

 NB> Back when I was keeping an actual to-do list, partly to remember what
 NB> needed doing and partly so that I could cross off done things for a
 NB> feeling of achievement, if I did something that day that might have
 NB> become a list item but wasn't already there I'd add it to the list and
 NB> cross it off immediately...  :)   It was partly, I suppose, as an
 NB> acknowlegement that I was still accomplishing things even if the main
 NB> list wasn't decreasing as one wished it to...  ;)

I keep more of a mental "to do" list for sewing projects. A pair of
slacks that was on the list to take in and hem is now changed to sew up
the back seam, put in bag for give away. They're several sizes too big
now.

 RH> Last night I pulled out a skirt I'd snugged up the elastic on last
 RH> year, and it fell off my hips so I guess it'll go into the give away
 RH> bag now. I'm not going to re redo the elastic.

 NB> Something like that almost cries out for installing a drawstring to
 NB> make it work for longer, without having to keep fussing with the
 NB> elastic.  :) Especially if it were a favorite skirt...

It has a drawstring as well as the elastic but it's several sizes too
big now. So, it's in a bag, in the car, ready to drop off at the Sharing
Shop tomorrow.

Catch you later,
