Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I've gotten good at ignoring her. (LOL)  In self-defense!

-> No surprise there.

 RH> It beats getting into a shouting match, for certain.

True, put on the virtual ear plugs so you can't hear her.

->  RH> I'll be at the quilting club, working on pieces for an advent
->  RH> calendar. It's not sewing, but it needs doing.

-> I got the rows done but for one square at the end of each (20).  The
-> other pieces were put on as pairs of 2; I made up all the units so I
-> could pick at random which to use. Now I'll unstitch a few pairs to use
-> the single block I need for the end before assembling the rows. did
-> something more important than that today--grocery shopping. We'd not
-> made a major trip in a while so I had to do some stocking up. Now we can
-> eat again. (G)

 RH> Yeah well.  I did that today.   Picked up some things I shouldn't have
 RH> as usual, but at least one of them was given away before I even went
 RH> home. The
 RH> store had flowers on sale buy one get two - couldn't pass that up.
 RH> One went
 RH> to a friend who lives right around the corner from the store.  He's a
 RH> messianic rabbi who's up to his eyebrows in work.  As a good Jew he's
 RH> supposed to have flowers on the table for Sabbath, so off they went.
 RH> It made a good excuse to buy flowers.:-)

Good deal! I got the usual suspects--oil, bananas, distilled water, some
canned (but not Campbell's) soups, crackers, sliced turkey lunch meat,
chicken............................. but no flowers.

-> -> Sharks, dinosaurs, construction equipment...............

->  RH> Planes, trains, automobiles.  African animals.  Just about anything
->  RH> but little baby stuff.

-> Understood, having grandsons. Robert's Rainbow was done because I was
-> given a specific piece of fabric (cartoonish kids dressed in rainbow
-> colored outfits) and told to use it to make something for my grandson.

 RH> Yep, but it was bright at least.  I'm not a cartoon fiend either, but
 RH> sometimes it's a command performance.

Turned out right cute; I used a rainbow striped fabric for the backing &
binding.

->  RH> I did buy a few of the Halloween Cadbury eggs with the green guts.
->  RH> Dropped them on my Pastor.  He has two teenagers but I doubt these
->  RH> made it home.

-> He eats like a teen age boy?

 RH> More like a picky 9 year-old.(LOL)

...............that likes chocolate.

-> -> No, actually between his left brain, my right, we work well together.
-> -> Better than having 2 left or 2 right brains.

->  RH> Or two that don't work together.

-> 2 of the same don't work together well.

 RH> They can, but it gets a little odd sometimes.

As if ours doesn't from time to time, especially trying to explain an
idea to the other. Sometimes we find we're trying to describe the same
thing but in 2 different ways.


-> -> TR has both of them beat, hands down.

->  RH> Wouldn't take much!

-> Especially the OG pizza.

 RH> Just say NO.

Believe me, we are.

-> ->  RH> The fakes were bigger and flashier.  And crooks are dumb.

-> -> They did the same with the real/fake rubies. Fake had more bling.
-> -> Somebody got a big surprise.

->  RH> Like I said; crooks are dumb.  You're lucky it wasn't me in
->  RH> there.(LOL) The real stuff sticks out like limburger in a rose
 RH> garden.

-> And has more meaning than the fake stuff.

 RH> Depends on the fake stuff.  My cousin lost costume pieces of my
 RH> grandmother's in a break-in.  I don't she cared about the little real
 RH> stuff she had around, but those pieces were priceless.

I lost some fake stuff that had sentimental value.

->  RH> I can't let mine get that warm for health reasons.  Vidalias rot
 RH> here if left out for a week.

-> It's not comfortable but the heat pump thing unit is too small for the
-> house. That's why it goes into over drive in really hot or really cold
-> weather but still can't quite do an effective job. Better than no heat
-> or ac tho.

 RH> Too true; we did that here during the 9-day outage two years back.

Not fun. We had a power outage 2 Mondays in a row. Wondering if this
coming Monday will make it 3.
