Hi Nancy,

 NB> No, I don't think so...  my brothers cook for themselves when need be,

Both my brothers are unmarried so pretty much had to cook for
themselves. One taught himself to do so decently, the other never did.

No, but I've known some who make the piano sound very mechanical. With
quilting, an eye for what has to be done or can be done to liven up a
boring quil is useful. Sometimes just getting a second opinion will
provide the impetus to do more or less or re-arrainge blocks in a better
setting.

 NB> Most of those don't even come off the shelf in the first place... ;)

Some of them look interesting so I'll pull them off for a closer look.
Then I start reading and find out it's not what we want to eat.

 NB>  RH>> And looking at a late July, early August time frame this year.
 NB>  NB>> We'll have to see how things play out as we get closer...  :)

 RH> Yes, maybe we can combine it with a trip to Olindo's when we go

 NB> Possibly you could stay a night with us, and combine with visiting our
 NB> church, as well...  :)


That would be fun. Think Richard could take it?


 NB>  RH>> ... It's as easy as 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841!
 NB>  NB>> Yup, quite...  (G)

 RH> Blueberry, pecan or chocolate?

 NB> Probably pecan... or something even more labor-intensive... ;)

Chocolate silk from scratch?
