Hi Ruth,

Sometimes, other times I tell the fabric. (G)

Send it down this way. What colors are in it? Depending, I might use
pieces of it in various projects or I may just do it as originally
intended.

-> flag quilt I did for Steve's retirement was an adaptation of one I'd

-> squares; after that will be a 9 Patch in 81 different fabrics.

 RH> Ack.  81 fabrics?  I guess you don't have to worry about duplicating
 RH> something by accident!

Not planning to; I'll match up pairs before cutting. I'm not sure how
many different fabrics this Double 4 Patch has in it but there are 4
different alternating squares to the 4 patch blocks.

->  RH> there's no room for computer equipment, or people.

 RH> Add in that they cost about the same as a compact car, new, and ....

I've got a smaller set up that wasn't as expensive but it still takes up
space.

 RH> It reminded Dad of his childhood, I think.

Was he raised in NJ? That's been the only place we've seen it on a menu.
We had spent the night in Edison and had breakfast in a diner the next
day, saw it there. I don't recall it on the diner menu in the Green
Brook area tho, but then too, I wasn't especially looking for it. My mom
never mentioned anything about pork rolls and she was brought up in
Plainfield.


->  RH>  If Steve still needs the CPAP it wouldn't surprise me if he's

-> He still uses the CPAP--will be getting a new one next week. He also has
-> tinnitus, pretty much constantly and other sleep issues. But, he's doing
-> better now that he doesn't have to wear that brace at night.

 RH> Now he can sleep on a heat pack if he wants one.

The back is doing pretty well, even considering he was up and down on a
ladder a lot on Friday over at the church. His hip was bothering him a
bit but the feet, even more so as he wasn't wearing his 'rocker" walking
shoes. He still can't use NSAIDS (because of the back) and tylenol was
barely cutting the hurt for a while.
