-> -> Courthouse Steps or Pineapple Welcome possibly? Could be one of
those,
-> -> with an alternating solid block.
-> 
->  RH> I've started machine-sewing it together.  I'll have to shoot you a
->  RH> picture. It's all cotton velveteens, probably meant as upholstry.
->  RH> Nothing quite matches up size-wise.
-> 
-> A real fun time then. I'm hoping to get bact tomorrow to the sewing that
-> was put on hold last week.
-> 
That's one way of putting it.  Nothing really lines up either.  It's a good 
thing they threw in a little extra fabric.

-> -> RH> Gee I wonder why.  I generally suck down the oatmeal and a big
-> coffee, brush my teeth and head out the door.
-> 
-> I could have done the oatmeal thing with my tea but just didn't feel
-> like going to the fuss, even of the quick stuff. With the toast and
-> fruit, I could grab a bite, do something else that needed doing before
-> heading out, get another bite in, etc. I used some of the time to make a
-> lunch to take with me--not a fancy one but one that would give me a
-> balance of carbs and protein.

... and that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
 
-> -> Should have, but they will have to wait now until the appointment is
-> -> rescheduled. He was down in Raleigh, in the hospital, the day he was
-> -> supposed to get the orthotics.
-> 
->  RH> I was supposed to get a lumbar puncture years ago and had emergency
->  RH> surgery that day instead for something unrelated to the MS.   It

-> 
-> I know; I've had the apple cart upset too many times to know the number,
-> over the years. Anyway, the orthotics reschedule is tomorrow.
-> 
You're driving. :-)  

->  RH> It tells you the piece isn't a repro, at the least.  Reproductions 
are
->  RH> generally perfect.  Old items often have some sort of wear or 
damage;
->  RH> perfection in an antique is suspicious, at least to me.
-> 
-> I think I'd be suspicious too. Old is supposed to look old. (G)

Some folks like their pieces flawless. Unless it's porcelain, I tend not
to.
 
-> -> -> Sounds like it would be an interesting place to visit.
-> 
-> ->  RH> It is, if you're not used to having it around.
-> 
-> -> I've not been in one so would have fun exploring it.
-> 
->  RH> The book section might be especially useful.
-> 
-> That, and I'd check out the jewelry. Looking to replace several pieces
-> or get components and use chains I already have.

That's certainly true.  It's not cheap, but they have lots of things
regular 
jewelry places don't. 
 
->  RH> I found one late 40s/early 50s tie bar I'd totally forgotten about,
->  RH> among other things.
-> 
-> We don't have that problem--having to move every so often makes us go
-> thru and sort/toss/keep..............................

In my case a lot of it's old stock.  Things that were buried in the pile 
years ago and not seen since.  
 
->  RH> or something above and beyond what they needed for Christmas and
cut
->  RH> them up into steaks.  Into the broiler it went.  It was marked less
->  RH> than half the usual price.  Broiled it rare and down the hatch with 
a
->  RH> side salad and the fries we almost never eat.
-> 
-> Good deal! We had the scrapple and eggs for lunch yesterday, pizza for
-> supper last night. Life Group lunch was sausage sliders, salad, chips
-> and cupcakes. I traded cooking weeks so will cook next week instead of
-> doing so this week, as is the normal rotation.
-> 
You were a little busy.
