Hi Nancy,

 NB> As I said... the list is shortening.. ;)   For now... ;)

The indoor list is shrinking as the outdoor one grows. He just hung the
new cabinet door.

 NB>  NB>> It can be so easy to forget that they need washing... they just
 NB>  NB>> hang there. ;)  Treating it for grease repelling sounds like a
 NB> good  NB>> idea... :)

 RH> I've not had kitchen curtains for some years. I think the ones in my

I've had some fall apart on me too. Depends on the curtain material and
how well it was taken care of over the years. I think cheap sheers are
the ones that fall apart the fastest, from personal experience.

 NB> at the QoV meeting.
 NB>  NB>> Impressive.  :)  Getting things out of the way to give you more
 NB> space  NB>> to focus on the curtain project, eh...?  :)

 RH> The curtain project will be a few months in coming together. I'm

 RH> I'll have a bit more work room as I clear away other projects.

 NB> You certainly don't want to waste material from your bargain
 NB> purchase... probably need every scrap accounted for... ;)

I've got to do the rough size figuring, then add hem and rod allowances
to get the final cutting size. Then I have to make notes so I remember
it's a such and so number to turn under for each part. There's a lot
more to it than whacking and hoping it fits. (G)

 NB>  RH>> still a few weeks away.
 NB>  NB>> Sigh.  Gas mask season, eh...?

 RH> It hits my eyes the hardest. I bought a bottle of eye drops yesterday,
 RH> in preparation for the onslaught.

 NB> Which do you use...?

I got the W-M house brand for redness and itchy eyes. Started using it
yesterday as pollen has begun to really hit me hard the past couple of
days.

 NB>  NB>> Greenhouse grown...?  At least they're fresh... :)

 RH> Probably greenhouse grown. Today we just got some bantam eggs, a
 RH> (big!) slice of coconut cake (for Steve, of course) and some chocolate
 RH> mudslide cookies.

 NB> The last to be carefully rationed out...  ;)

About a quarter of a cookie (they're about 4-5" across) per serving
gives me a nice snack without a carb overload.
