Hi Nancy,

 RH> We're in the 60s for a few days, supposed to hit 70 Friday and
 RH> Saturday, then back down to 50 on Sunday. Roller coaster weather!

 NB> Roller coaster weather here, too....  yesterday it was in the low 70s,
 NB> today it got into the 60s and then started dropping this afternoon...
 NB> tonight and thru Tuesday, they are talking 30s and snow... lake
 NB> effect...  Next week, back into the 40s and rain....

It's 39.5 right now (8:20 pm) but clear. Not getting all the white stuff
we saw on the news that the northeast is getting.

 NB> to vote (about 2:30),  RH>> the jacket was just comfortable enough but
 NB> I changed out for a lined  RH>> windbreaker about 3 hours later when
 NB> we went out for supper.
 NB>  NB>> The sweater jacket is my fall jacket... definitely not ready to
 NB> use  NB>> the heavier winter jacket....

 RH> We wore winter jackets last Saturday at an outdoor wedding, Sunday to
 RH> church. After church it had warmed up enough that a mid weight one
 RH> would have sufficed.

 NB> I'll probably still just wear the sweater jacket... but if there's
 NB> snow on the ground, I guess the winter boots will get some use
 NB> tomorrow...
 NB> maybe Monday as well....

I use winter boots only a few times a year--just enough that it is good
to have a pair on hand. Steve generally wears his old Army boots--and
probably will, until they wear out.


 NB>  NB>>> Definitely progress... in the right direction...  ;)
 NB>  RH>>> Yes, and the doctor thinks so as well.
 NB>  NB>> Also a good thing...  :)

 RH> He said something about doing laundry--I told him I'd been doing
 RH> it for several weeks. I'm still not kneading bread; I want to wait
 RH> a few more weeks on that.

 NB> Probably a good idea...  :)

I don't want to stress it with the kneading action too much. Right now,
the KA does most of the kneading but when I punch it down/shape it, I
give it a good kneading again.


 NB>  NB>>> So did you get it done in time for the shower...?  And was it
 NB>  NB>>> well received....?  :)
 NB>  RH>> Yes, and yes--tho I realised after I was almost done quilting
 NB> it,  RH>> that I'd inverted 2 rows. No significant problem, just
 NB> skewed the  RH>> design a bit but the mom to be loved it anyway.
 NB>  NB>> Made it clearly a one-of-a-kind...  ;)

 NB>  RH>> Only one of 2 hand made items at the shower.
 NB>  NB>> Made with lots of love... :)

 RH> Very much so; our preaching pastor's wife does a plaque with the
 RH> baby's name on it as her gift so we know there will usually be 2
 RH> hand made gifts.

 NB> And I'm sure that the moms being honored look forward to them as
 NB> well....  ;)

I've not heard anybody not liking them. (G) I sew on a "hand made by..."
label on as a finishing touch.
