Hi Ruth,

-> I try not to act that way but it comes out sometimes. Not noticing a
-> fold in the fabric as it went thru the serger tonight meant that I had
-> to cut a new body for Sarah's apron. Good thing I'd bought extra fabric
-> and it's a small size anyway. Just puts me back a day on my sewing.

 RH> I got a large throw quilt done tonight.  It's nowhere near perfect,
 RH> but I didn't think it would get done until after Christmas.  That's

These went in the mail (priority) Thursday or Friday, hopefully in time
for a couple of junior chefs to wear on Christmas Day.


 RH> after getting the stollen baked and a cheesecake in the oven before
 RH> the stollen.  With all
 RH> that going I didn't get to much on the quilt, but did that today.

We didn't do any extra baking--Steve's mom did enough to supply half the
retirement community and still has lots of left overs. Of course it
seems half the other residents bake and share too so the total blood
glucose count in the community skyrockets this time of year. I've been
good so far, strictly limiting my goodies, and it's showing on my
readings.

->  RH> I never had a problem with it.

-> Working wrists help--those things can be heavy. Steve has taken over

 RH> Both shoulders have been sore recently - no clue what's up with that.

Extra time spent with a rolling pin and hunched over a sewing machine.
That's a no brainer diagnosis based on what you just wrote. (G)


-> washing a lot of the heavy things like that. He washed up the cookie
-> sheet and platter he used tonight at the American Legion building. He
-> did finger food (bought mini quiches) for the Sons of the American
-> Legion officier installation tonight.

 RH> And real men ate them!

Yep!


->  RH> Unless you're worried about that extra place setting at Passover.
->  RH> That's generally reserved for Elijah, but I'd imagine no one would
->  RH> mind Moses popping in.

-> I'm not worried, I'd set an extra place if both showed up.

 RH> And feed 'em matzoh ball soup, doubtless, although neither would have
 RH> a clue what that is.

But they would understand the meaning behind the various foods.


-> -> guess Dad had thought they were out of some things that were actually
-> -> there, in good supply.

->  RH> I get accused of that myself sometimes.

-> Yes, but do you try to go out, using a walker and depending on someone
-> else to drive, in the midst of a raging snowstorm?

 RH> Generally no, although I did go out during the latest one.  Snow or no
 RH> snow, Santa's sleigh had to fly.

I know, but sometimes it's better to fly a bit late than to go flying in
a snow/ice storm.
