 RH>>> I think so. But, that's the risk taken when buying produce like
 RH>>> that while travelling.
 NB>>> A risk taken, to some extent, when one buys in bulk almost
 NB>>> anywhere...
 RH>> Yes, but overall, we got enough to make it worthwhile.
 NB>> It appears so... :)

 RH> And, we will be opening up the first jars any time now. It's to cool
 RH> down to the low 60s by the end of the week (but reach 80 mid week) so
 RH> winter is coming. Farmer's market will go to winter hours (10-12) on
 RH> Saturday.

Hmmmph... cool down to the low 60s.... around here, this time of year,
we're lucky to have it warm up to the low-mid 60s, like it has yesterday
and today...  it's been more in the 40s and 50s already... winter's
coming, I suppose, but so far this is more like fall...  I am wearing a
sweater more often, though.... 
 
 RH>>> I am using it more but for light weight jobs only. Amazing,
 RH>>> how even a little bit of pressure down at the hand can make
 RH>>> the shoulder area hurt.
 NB>>> Gives a keener appreciation for how intricately put together
 NB>>> our bodies really are... :)   And how interwoven...  :)
 RH>> Very much so! It's still improving; I can do a little bit more
 RH>> each day (stemmed and snapped green beans for supper tonight)
 RH>> without it hurting. Still not trying to raise it over my head
 RH>> overly much but those times I do, it's doing better.
 NB>> Little by little... :)

 RH> Yes, and even more improvment since last time you checked in.

That's good news...  :)

 RH> It's still not back to what it was pre break but doing better. I'm
 RH> still not stressing it very much but doing a lot of what I usually
 RH> do. Still asking Steve to do a lot of things but he's stepped down
 RH> from doing as much as he was for a few weeks.

Definitely progress... in the right direction...  ;)
 
 RH>>> I'll wait a few more days before trying to put it together.
 RH>>> More for the arm to heal.
 NB>>> Good thinking... :)   Also some time for it to recover from
 NB>>> the stress you just put it through....  :)
 RH>> Didn't sit down to the sewing machine until this week and did OK.
 RH>> The pressing work was done mostly right handed. I've got until
 RH>> Nov. 5 (the baby shower) to get it done so am working on it bit
 NB>> by bit. So you'll likely have it done in good time, and not
 NB>> stress the arm too much in the process...  :)

 RH> I'll be working on it for several days this week but since it's small,
 RH> it's not too hevy or bulky. Probably a couple of hours tomorrow will
 RH> get it almost done, then a shorter session to finish it off.

So did you get it done in time for the shower...?  And was it well
received....?  :)

 NB>> Speaking of which... 'tis the season for the Milky Way Simply
 NB>> Caramels... are you ready for me to grab another bag for you...?

 RH> I think I'll pass again this year; I've got a fair amount of sweets on
 RH> hand that need eating. Thanks for the offer tho.

Ok.... I'll check again next year... as long as they show up for the
season again...  ;)
