Hi Nancy,


 RH> Yes, and be part of the big catch up. Done with some parts of it, not
 RH> others.

 NB> Just have to keep plugging along... ;)

I am, I got 4 loads of laundry done today and a small quilt tied. I
think I'll do some machine quilting on it also--it's a lap robe size so
won't take much work.


 RH> Made it to the farmer's market today (early, actually) and got
 RH> some spinach and carrots, as well as some other goodies.

 NB> Getting back into the normal routines... :)

Yes, but the market is cancelled tomorrow as we're getting a mix of
snow, sleet and freezing rain. It started during the night, supposed to
continue on thru tomorrow.


 NB> freezer some that I froze,  RH>> as well as pre done meats.
 NB>  NB>> That worked out well... :)

 RH> It did; I bought some meats, taking advantage of the 25% off sale at
 RH> Lowe's last week. Last of those is in a pot of chili on the stove.

 NB> Any of those end up in the freezer...?

Just a bit of the chili, but that's out now, planned for probably lunch
tomorrow. I needed the meats to cook for various previously planned
times, plus used some for easy meals for us until I got more organised.

 NB>  RH>> Somewhere between 5 & 6k miles on it already.
 NB>  NB>> Yup.  :)

 RH> And some improvements done on it since we got back home. Some of the
 RH> tweaks added more storage space, some improved what was already there.

 NB> Having figured out what was needed or could be improved... :)

Exactly! Lots of little things you don't notice until it's yours. Then
you can customise it any way you want. We're debating sub dividing the
pantry into more shelves so we can stow more small things, easier.


 NB>  NB>> It's less of a sacrifice when one weighs the risk/benefit
 NB> ratio...  NB>> and when one knows how to balance the indulgence, it's
 NB> more a
 NB>  NB>> calculation, as well...  :)

 RH> Yes, limiting myself lets me enjoy a bit of something, without "paying
 RH> for it" with a super high reading the next day.

 NB> Exactly.

And so far, doing quite well, overall.

 NB>  NB>> Academy... but also drew from the faculty, among whom was my
 NB> uncle who  NB>> had been instrumental in getting the church started in
 NB> the first
 NB>  NB>> place...  :)  And as well, there were others from the civilian
 NB>  NB>> population looking for a good church... :)

 RH> Probably a good number of churches started that way around military
 RH> installations. Probably a lot of single service members were invited
 RH> home for Sunday dinner afterward also. (G)

 NB> This one wasn't primarily for serving the military, although it ended
 NB> up as such... :)  And yes, quite a few midshipmen spent many a Sunday
 NB> dinner at someone's home... ;)  One of them married my cousin, even...
 NB> ;)

Figures, there would be some marriages between Middies and young ladies
of the church. (G)
